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.
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.
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics.

Introduction and Notes by John S. Whitley, University of Sussex.
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.

'You said I killed you - haunt me, then!' Wuthering Heights is one
of the most famous love stories in the English language. It is also
one of the most potent revenge narratives. The intense and
unbreakable bond between the fiery Catherine Earnshaw and the
foundling Heathcliff has startled and fascinated readers since its
first publication in 1847. Of uncertain parentage and ethnicity,
Heathcliff comes to Wuthering Heights as a child when Catherine's
father finds him wandering alone through the slave-trading port of
Liverpool. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff and Catherine find
refuge in each other when the household falls into the hands of
Catherine's dissolute older brother. Their bond deepens as they
escape together from the violence and stern religion of their home
to the Yorkshire moors. But the story of Catherine and Heathcliff's
attachment transforms from intimacy to strife when Catherine
marries the refined Edgar Linton. The ensuing story of violence and
thwarted passion is one of the most powerful tales of the gothic
tradition, a literary mode from which Emily Bronte wrings all of
its terrifying potential. A regional novel with a global reach, a
work of sensational effects with a startling ethical core,
Wuthering Heights is both a romantic melodrama and wrenching study
of the difficulty of escaping from the legacies of violence. This
edition reproduces the authoritative Clarendon text, with revised
and expanded notes and a selection from the poems of Emily Bronte.
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And
if not, is he a devil?' Heathcliff, an orphan, wild and unkempt, is
taken in by Mr Earnshaw and raised as his son at Wuthering Heights
on the bleak Yorkshire moors. He is drawn to Earnshaw's daughter
Catherine, and as the pair grow up together they become bound by an
intense and passionate love. But when Catherine's father dies,
Heathcliff is condemned to servitude, and social disparity drives a
wedge between them that will eventually become their downfall.
Poetic, grand in scope, and with complex ideas of morality, social
codes, violence and illness, Wuthering Heights is one of the most
unique and emotive Gothic novels, and is considered Emily Bronte's
masterpiece.
About Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights: "It is as if [Bronte] could
tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these
unrecognisable transparencies with such a gust of life that they
transcend reality. Hers, then, is the rarest of all powers. She
could free life from its dependence on facts; with a few touches
indicate the spirit of a face so that it needs no body; by speaking
of the moor make the wind blow and the thunder roar." -Virginia
Woolf

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.
