Cannon, however, fails to connect other episodes of the Brontës' ancestors with those which appear in Charlotte Brontë's four novels, namely The Professor, Jane Eyre, Shirley and Villette.This paper is to elucidate that the episodes similar to those of the Brontës' ancestors are seen in Charlotte Brontë's novels, and to hint at the possibility that she may have heard the episodes of her ancestors from her father, and have adopted and used them in her four novels., Article, 信州大学教養部紀要. 第一部, 人文科学. 第二部, 自然科学 19: 179-186(1985)}, pages = {179--186}, title = {シャーロット・ブロンテの作品の背景:シャーロット・ブロンテとの父祖}, volume = {19}, year = {1985} }
