Publisher's Synopsis
Emily Bronte, (1818 - 1848), was an English novelist and poet. She was born in Yorkshire and was the third of four surviving siblings, Charlotte, Branwell, and Anne. She is known best for her world famous, and only novel, Wuthering Heights, a classic of English Literature. Publishing under the names of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, Charlotte, Emily and Anne wrote powerful and passionate poetry. This complete collection of poems, by Emily, emanates her depth of spirit and mirrors her poetic brilliance and descriptive understanding of human nature, the natural world and her vision of the afterlife. From poems describing the mythical country of Gondal, that she and her sister Anne imagined, to thought provoking poetry such as 'No Coward Soul Is Mine' and 'Remembrance', to beautiful descriptive poems such as 'The Bluebell', her unique ability to manipulate language is thoroughly absorbing.
