Summary of poem lines composed in a wood on a windy day
Answers
The poem is based upon an actual experience of Brontë's.[6] A note stating "Composed in the Long-Plantation on a wild bright windy day", was written in Anne Brontë's hand at the bottom of the manuscript and the "Long-Plantation" was identified by Edward Chitham as a wood to the East of Kirby Hall toward the River Ouse, though there is no clear evidence that Long Plantation is a real place.[7] This is about a mile north of Thorp Green.[8]
Brontë, who was then serving as a governess,[9] was influenced, both positively and negatively, as a writer by her time at Thorp Green. She was not able to write often at Thorp Green and so this poem was likely written during, or after a vacation. Her stay at Thorp Green was intended to help her become independent and form for her own philosophies and artistic style, but it may have done the opposite effect, as reflected in this poem.[10]
"Lines Composed in a Wood on a Windy Day" was written at Green Thorpe during Brontë's three-year stay from 1842-1845, and may have been influenced by homesickness.[11] She wrote the poem on December 30, 1842. It was composed during the Victorian Crisis of Faith, a period which played a major role in poems and literature during its time.[12] The meter may have been derived from Thomas Moore's style based on Irish folk song. His poem "I saw from the beach" has four quatrains similar in structure to Lines Composed in a Wood on a Windy Day
