Last Things - Emily Bronte's Poems (Hardcover)

At present, Emily Bronte's poetry is more frequently celebrated
than read. Ironically, the very uniqueness of her poems has made
them less interesting to current feminist critics than other poems
written by Victorian women. Last Things seeks to reinstate Emily
Bronte's poems at the heart of Romantic and Victorian concerns
while at the same time underlining their enduring relevance for
readers today. It presents the poems as the achievement of a
powerfully independent mind responding to her own inner experience
of the world and seeking always an abrogation of human limits
compatible with a stern morality. It develops Georges Bataille's
insight that it doesn't matter whether Bronte had a mystical
experience because she 'reached the very essence of such an
experience'. Although the book does not discuss all of Bronte's
poems, it seeks to be comprehensive by undertaking an analysis of
individual poems, the progress she made from the beginning of her
career as a poet to its end, her poetical fragments and her writing
practice, and her motives for writing poetry. For admirers of
Wuthering Heights, Last Things will bring the concerns and methods
of the novel into sharper focus by relating them to the poems.
