A beautifully packaged collector's edition of the celebrated Bronte
Sisters' beloved works: Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey, Charlotte
Bronte's Jane Eyre, and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The three
novels in this collectible edition explore themes of love, struggle
and survival, coming of age, and personal freedom and independence
as they pertained to women in the nineteenth century.
Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine’s father.
After Mr Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine’s brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries.
The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

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.

This beautiful, giftable collection celebrates both the wisdom and
tenacity of courageous women who defied society’s expectations
and gifted the world with literary treasures through unparalleled
fiction and poetry. We know many of their names--Austen and Alcott,
Brontë and Browning, Wheatley, and Woolf--though some may be less
familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves.Â
They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote
desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status
and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote
trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in
search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They
were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym
for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. The Women
Who Wrote softcover edition offers: Stories from Jane Austen,
Katherine Mansfield, Willa Cather, Louisa May Alcott, Edith
Wharton, Zora Neale Hurston, and Virginia Woolf. Poems from Emily
Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë,
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning, Dorothy Parker, and Phillis Wheatley. These women
wrote to change the world. They marched through the world one
by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to one another and to us
over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the
boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space
for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here
they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote an arsenal
of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths
forward.

Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a
devil?
Set on the bleak moors of Yorkshire, Lockwood is forced to seek
shelter at Wuthering Heights, the home of his new landlord,
Heathcliff. The intense and wildly passionate Heathcliff tells the
story of his life, his all-consuming love for Catherine Earnshaw
and the doomed outcome of that relationship, leading to his
revenge.
Poetic, complex and grand in its scope, Emily Bronte's
masterpiece is considered one of the most unique gothic novels of
its time."
I have just returned from a visit to my landlord -- the solitary
neighbor that I shall be troubled with. This is certainly a
beautiful country In all England, I do not believe that I could
have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of
society. A perfect misanthropist's heaven: and Mr. Heathcliff and I
are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us. A
capital fellow He little imagined how my heart warmed towards him
when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their
brows, as I rode up, and when his fingers sheltered themselves,
with a jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat, as I
announced my name. Mr. Heathcliff? I said. A nod was the answer.
Mr. Lockwood, your new tenant, sir. I do myself the honor of
calling as soon as possible after my arrival, to express the hope
that I have not inconvenienced you by my perseverance in soliciting
the occupation of Thrushcross Grange: I heard yesterday you had had
some thoughts -- Thrushcross Grange is my own, sir, he interrupted,
wincing. I should not allow anyone to inconvenience me, if I could
hinder it -- walk in
This superb anthology of poems contains Emily Bronte's verses in
their entirety, including her private and posthumously published
poetry, as compiled and edited by the literary critic Clement
Shorter. The Complete Poems of Emily Bronte is a collection
assembled both from past publications featuring Emily Bronte's
works, and private collections discovered after her death by
members of her family. Although her verse compositions are
overshadowed to this day by her phenomenally successful novel
Wuthering Heights, they remain worthy examples of the Romantic era
form. The poems situated at the conclusion went unpublished for
decades and did not appear in print until 1908. Emily Bronte was a
private character, who took very little interest in promoting her
works to the public. As such, many of these poems never appeared in
print until years or even decades after her death in 1848.
Alongside the poems themselves is a biographical introduction which
explains the most pivotal events in Emily's life.

sisters' famous stories of love, self-discovery and family feuds.

Emily Bronte's only novel, Wuthering Heights remains one of

romantic passion. Heathcliff and Cathy believe they're destined to
love each other forever, but when cruelty and snobbery separate
them, their untamed emotions literally consume them.
