1928. The life of Emily Jane Bronte is based chiefly upon the
internal evidence of her poems. From a family of English novelists,

does not purport to be a last word upon Bronte's history. The
author did not know all the events by any means that befell her,
not absolutely the order of those recorded within. He knew the main
lines of her character, the most important part of her history.

CHAPTER III Hilde emerged from nowhere, like one of those
supernatural beings who serve old magicians, and saying: 'Come this

candles, and behind the pillars the white table, sparkling with
