PMEmily BrontI's writings explore, expand, and transgress limited
nineteenth-century ideas of the nature of the female lot and of
women's creativity. This study offers an extensive rereading of the
poems which focuses on Emily BrontI's problematic relationship to
the Romantic tradition in which they were produced, and to the
critical tradition in which they have been reproduced. Using recent
feminist work on gender and genre Lyn Pykett throws fresh light on
the complexities of Wuthering Heights, and suggests that much of
this novel's distinctiveness may be attributed to the particular
ways in which it both combines and explores Female Gothic and the
emerging realist domestic novel, a genre also widely used and read
by women. Contents: Emily BrontI: A Life Hidden from History; The
Writings of Ellis Bell; "Not at all like the poetry women generally
write" Emily BrontI and the Problem of the Woman Poet; Death Dreams
