of the inhabitants of their imaginary kingdoms. Charlotte and Branwell wrote stories about their country -- Angria -- and Emily and Anne wrote articles and poems about theirs -- Gondal. Charlotte continued her education at Roe Head, Mirfield, from 1831 to 1832, where she met her lifelong friends and correspondents, Ellen Nussey and Mary Taylor. During this period (1833), she wrote her novella The Green Dwarf under the name of Wellesley.

He wanted to show that while acculturation mostly occurred in the form of Native Americans gradually conforming to white cultural standards, the white colonists could and did appropriate certain elements of native culture, particularly those practical elements which proved useful under colonial conditions. Such an acculturation was a conscious move on the part of the white colonists because, as David Murray observes, "Given the context of radical inequality of power between the two cultures, representation and comprehension of Indians by whites involves an appropriation, even an expropriation, parallel to the economic expropriation which is its context." They believed that
English literature is one of the oldest literatures in Europe; dates back to the 6th century AD. Oral literature, i.e. not written down, spread from person to person. In 449 AD Anglo-‐Saxon tribes invaded England – beginning of the Anglo-‐Saxon period in English literature. The first form of literature was folklore, carried by scops and gleemen, who sang in alliterative verse (a kind of simple poetry). Prose developed much later.
