Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bront were successful poets and novelists
in their own right; however, their careers began with several
collaborative works of stories and poetry. They first wrote under
male pseudonyms as they feared retribution by the male-dominated
literary world if they published works under their own names. They
attracted attention immediately, and soon after found success with
works like Charlotte's "Jane Eyre" and Emily's "Wuthering Heights."
This collection of poetry reveals the highly imaginative minds of
these siblings, who grew up in the moors of Yorkshire and were
greatly influenced by the deaths of their mother and two older
sisters. Each sister displays a unique poetic voice and style,
varying between passionate, melancholic, terse, melodic and
symbolic. This is an excellent introduction to the siblings' highly
original and influential writing, as well as a wonderful addition
to any Bront enthusiast's collection.
