The Complete Poems of Emily Bronte (Poetry Collections) (Hardcover)

The Complete Poems of Emily Bronte (Poetry Collections) (Hardcover) –

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The poems situated at the conclusion went unpublished for decades and did not appear in print until 1908.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.
