Emily Bronte's poems are more frequently celebrated than read.
Ironically, their very uniqueness and strangeness have made them
less interesting to current feminist critics than other poetry
written by Victorian women. This much-needed study reinstates Emily
Bronte's poems at the heart of Romantic and Victorian concerns
while at the same time underlining their enduring relevance for
readers today.
Last Things presents the poems as the achievement of a powerfully
independent mind responding to its own inner experience of the
world while seeking always an abrogation of human limits compatible
with a stern morality. 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. Last Things also brings the emotions and concerns that
inform Wuthering Heights into sharper focus by relating them to the
poems.
