She was born on 1 November 1778 on Burray in the Orkney Islands. Mary's early education was limited, though her mother did teach her music, Italian, and French.〔Isabelle Bour: Brunton , Mary... In: ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford: OUP, 2004; online e. October 2005). (Retrieved 18 November 2010. Subscription required. )〕 Around 1798, Mary met and fell in love with the Reverend Alexander Brunton, a Church of Scotland minister, who later became a Professor of Oriental Languages in the University of Edinburgh. Although Mary's mother disapproved of the match, she eloped with Brunton on 4 December 1798, when her loved one rescued her from the island of Gairsay in a rowing boat.〔Ruth Facer, (author biography on Chawton Library site. Dated June 2012. )〕 He was minister at Bolton, near Haddington until 1797, then at two successive Edinburgh parishes: at New Greyfriars from 1803 and Tron from 1809, becoming in the meantime professor of oriental languages at the university in 1813.〔Isabelle Bour: Brunton , Mary...〕 Their marriage was a happy, but childless one. Guided by her husband, she developed some interest in philosophy, and remarked in a letter to her sister-in-law that she was in favour of women learning ancient languages and mathematics, which was still a rare female accomplishment in that period. The couple made a tour to Harrogate and the English Lake District in 1809, although the former did not meet with her approval: "A scene without a hill seems to me to be about as interesting as a face without a nose!"〔Brunton, Alexander..., p. xxii. Quoted by Ruth Facer....〕 Mary finally became pregnant, at the age of almost forty, and died on 7 December 1818 in Edinburgh after giving birth to a stillborn son.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Brunton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
