This is the most cherished novel from each of England's talented
sisters, in one gorgeously packaged volume. The Bronte family was a
literary phenomenon unequalled before or since. Both Charlotte's
"Jane Eyre" and Emily's "Wuthering Heights" have won lofty places
in the pantheon and stirred the romantic sensibilities of
generations of readers. This "Leatherbound Classics" edition unites
these two enduring favourites with the lesser known, but no less
powerful work by their youngest sister, Anne Bronte. Drawn from
Anne's own experiences as a governess, Agnes Grey offers a
compelling view of Victorian chauvinism and materialism. Its
inclusion makes "The Bronte Sisters" a must-have volume for anyone
fascinated by this singularly talented family.
The Bronte sisters lives and works have become modern-day cultural
touchstones. Emily Bronte, best known for her novel WUTHERING
HEIGHTS, began writing poetry first and, before her untimely death,
wrote some of the most touching and emotive poems which often
reflected the landscape of her Yorkshire home. Charlotte Bronte,
whose novel JANE EYRE has had numerous TV and film adaptations,
took responsibility for finding a home for their work. In her own
words, ' We had very early cherished the dream of one day becoming
authors'. Anne Bronte, author of AGNES GREY, often used
autobiographical elements in her poems, giving us a hints of the
struggles and turmoil of her life. These poems offer glimpses of
the joys and sorrows of the Brontes and are a beautifully
compelling introduction to their writing and lives.
