This superb anthology of poems contains Emily Bronte's verses in their entirety, including her private and posthumously published poetry, as compiled and edited by the literary critic Clement Shorter. The Complete Poems of Emily Bronte is a collection assembled both from past publications featuring Emily Bronte's works, and private collections discovered after her death by members of her family. Although her verse compositions are overshadowed to this day by her phenomenally successful novel Wuthering Heights, they remain worthy examples of the Romantic era form. The poems situated at the conclusion went unpublished for decades and did not appear in print until 1908. Emily Bronte was a private character, who took very little interest in promoting her works to the public. As such, many of these poems never appeared in print until years or even decades after her death in 1848. Alongside the poems themselves is a biographical introduction which explains the most pivotal events in Emily's life.

Includes the novels Jane Eyre, Villette, Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

Originally published under male pseudonyms in the 1840s, these three novels later helped give rise to the feminist literary movement of the late nineteenth century, in which women’s perspectives became more accepted by the mainstream reading public. A scholarly introduction provides an overview of the sisters’ childhood in northern England, their literary influences, and their enduring legacy.

Excellent Book

The poems of Emily Jane Bronte are passionate and powerful works that convey the vitality of the human spirit and of the natural world. This book contains poems attributed to her that describe the mythic country of Gondal and its citizens that she imagined with Anne, and remain the only surviving record of their joint creation.

Emily Bronté's only novel is set firmly in the high moors above Haworth where she watched 'the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how anyone could imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth'. Wuthering Heights is a powerful, sombre and imaginative masterpiece—perhaps the masterpiece of all the Bronté canon. Its theme of doomed passion between Cathy Earnshaw and the foundling Heathcliff reflects its author's own bleak upbringing as clearly as its setting evokes the dark and ominous beauty of the moorland country where she lived out the years of her short life. As a novel of the darkest human passions, of love and sexual obsession, of despair and destruction, its power is matched rarely and then only by the finest of English prose and poetry. This edition contains a selection of Emily Bronté's poems. Introduction by Elizabeth Jennings. Notes by Phyllis Bentley. --back cover

[Penguin Readers Level 6]An intriguing tale of revenge in which the main characters are controlled by consuming passions. This novel was once considered such a risk by its publishers that Emily Bronte had to defray the cost of publication until a sufficient number of copies had been sold.

Cathy and Heathcliff, childhood friends, are cruelly separated by class, fate and the actions of others. But uniting them is something even stronger: an all-consuming passion that sweeps away everything that comes between them. Even death.

Emily Brontës only novel, Wuthering Heights remains one of literature's most disturbing explorations into the dark side of romantic passion. Heathcliff and Cathy believe they're destined to love each other forever, but when cruelty and snobbery separate them, their untamed emotions literally consume them. Set amid the wild and stormy Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights, an unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow into soul mates, is widely regarded as the most original tale of thwarted desire and heartbreak in the English language.

Meet the women who wrote. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. We know many of their names—Austen and Alcott, Brontë and Browning, Wheatley and Woolf—though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to each other and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote and an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward. These women wrote to change the world.

When Heathcliff, a poor Gypsy boy, is adopted into wealthy Catherine Earnshaw's family, he and Catherine form a bond that progresses from childhood friendship to teenage passion. Because of Heathcliff's lowly social status, however, Catherine decides she cannot marry him, and instead marries the gentleman Edgar Linton. This sets in motion a chain of events that ravages both the Linton and Earnshaw families with jealousy, revenge, and bitterness, leaving only the ghosts of Catherine and Heathcliff to haunt the moors.

Sette magnifiche signore, sette romanzi al femminile che tracciano oltre un secolo di storia della letteratura inglese. Si inizia con le vicende della famiglia Bennet e delle loro cinque figlie, raccontate da Jane Austen in un'analisi ironica e intelligente della borghesia inglese. Si prosegue con il celebre Frankenstein di Mary Shelley, un'eccellente prova di narrativa gotica in cui il “mostro” incarna le nostre paure più profonde. I capolavori delle sorelle Brontë - Charlotte, Emily e Anne - con Jane Eyre, Cime tempestose e Agnes Grey, esplorano le dinamiche della rigida classe nobiliare vittoriana e le storie di eroi ed eroine in cerca dell'amore. Mary Anne Evans, nota come George Eliot, si ribella al romanticismo con Il velo dissolto, un breve romanzo che illumina le parti più oscure e irrazionali dell'esperienza umana. Infine, Virginia Woolf, con Gita al faro, rappresenta un esempio di letteratura del XX secolo, dove le grandi passioni cedono il passo all'intimismo e al flusso di coscienza. Queste opere offrono uno sguardo profondo e variegato sulla condizione femminile e le sfide esistenziali nel corso della storia.

Una de las historias de amor más emblemáticas de la literatura, situada en los sombríos páramos de Yorkshire, presenta la épica relación entre Catherine y Heathcliff. Esta obra, escrita por Emily Brontë, ofrece una visión metafísica del destino, la obsesión, la pasión y la venganza. Brontë, que tuvo que ocultar su identidad publicando bajo un seudónimo, desafió las normas victorianas de decoro en la narrativa, tanto en su temática como en la representación de sus personajes. Su estructura narrativa única y su lenguaje poderoso la convirtieron en una de las obras más influyentes de la literatura. En el prefacio de esta edición, Lucasta Miller examina las diversas interpretaciones de esta controvertida obra. Además, la introducción de la profesora Pauline Nestor explora las influencias y orígenes de Brontë como escritora. Esta edición también incluye una nota biográfica y el prefacio original de Charlotte, que revela la verdadera identidad de Emily, junto con un árbol genealógico de los personajes. La obra se centra en el efecto destructivo de los celos y la venganza, tanto en los individuos como en sus comunidades.

Un tema ricorrente delle poesie, e certamente centrale nell'intero ciclo, è la libertà: intesa soprattutto come liberazione. [...] Emily voleva essere liberata dalla persona propria; dalla persona tangibile, esigibile, sociale. [...] Voleva esistere in qualcos'altro, in altra forma, altrove. Voleva fare di sé un puro ascolto delle voci della natura, puro sguardo e pura visione. Fare tutt'uno con la sua fantasia. La carne che la stringeva come una prigione era quella che la separava dalle presenze spettrali che abitano la notte, il sogno, le grotte. Essere la stessa cosa del suo sogno, e non sognare.

Cims borrascosos, una de les grans novel·les del segle XIX anglès, narra la història d'amor tèrbola i apassionada entre Heathcliff i Catherine. Amargat i pertorbat per un passat que no és capaç d'oblidar, Heathcliff malviu per la seva set de venjança i provoca la infelicitat de tots els que l'envolten. L'obra presenta, en un ambient misteriós i tràgic, l'esclat d'una passió violenta, però buida de sensualitat. El clima de puritanisme i la ingenuïtat en la visió d'alguns personatges fan encara més remarcable la intel·ligent concepció de la narració, efectiva i potent, que ha fet que sigui considerada una de les millors novel·les de tots els temps.

Ekskluzywna edycja limitowana oprawiona w delikatną gładką tkaninę o właściwościach jedwabiu. Historia tragicznej miłości i zemsty osnuta na tle dziejów trzech pokoleń dwóch ziemiańskich rodzin, opowieść, której scenerię stanowią tajemnicze i urzekające wrzosowiska północnej Anglii Piekielna to była wyobraźnia i piekło musiała nosić w sobie ta spokojna pozornie dziewczyna. Dla nas pozostała tajemniczym, zachwycającym zjawiskiem. Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz Mały chłopiec, Heathcliff, jako osierocone dziecko trafia do domu Earnshawów. Wychowując się w tej zamożnej rodzinie, obdarza odwzajemnioną miłością Katarzynę, córkę swoich przybranych rodziców. Prześladowany przez przyszłego dziedzica Hindleya, poznaje też smak nienawiści. Gdy przekonuje się, że konwenanse mogą pokonać nawet najsilniejszą miłość, znika na trzy lata, aby powrócić jako dysponujący fortuną niewiadomego pochodzenia, demoniczny i bezwzględny mściciel. Od tego momentu nikomu w rodzinie nie będzie łatwo znaleźć własne szczęście.

'Grozovoi pereval' or 'Wuthering Heights' is a wild and passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine and Heathcliff.

Akcja rozgrywa się na przełomie XVIII i XIX wieku, gdy Earnshaw, właściciel Wuthering Heights, przywozi do domu bezdomnego, cygańskiego chłopca, nakazując dzieciom traktować go jak brata. Między przybyszem a małą Cathy rodzi się silna więź, która sprawia, że ignorują konwenanse i otoczenie. Namiętność Heathcliffa i Catherine ukazuje mroczną stronę ludzkiej natury, będąc mściwą i dziką jak wrzosowiska Yorkshire. Bohaterowie płacą najwyższą cenę za swoje błędy, a następne pokolenie musi za nie odpokutować. Ostatnio z namysłem i rosnącym zachwytem odkrywam tę powieść. Zastanawiam się, dlaczego wcześniej jej nie przeczytałem, ale nie martwię się tym. Odkrycia w późniejszym wieku mają swoją wartość, a chociaż różnią się od młodzieńczych uniesień, niosą ze sobą istotne emocje. To, co kiedyś zachwycało, może teraz promieniować jeszcze silniej, ponieważ jest mniej powszechne i ma charakter świątecznej uroczystości. Uważam, że mądrzy lekarze powinni zamiast skomplikowanych recept zalecać swoim pacjentom kontakt z wielką sztuką.
