Overview

Emily Bronte is one of the few modern writers in English whose distinction as a novelist is matched by her distinction as a poet. She lived and died more or less completely out of the public eye and only towards the end of the nineteenth century was her writing widely recognized. WutheringHeights (1847) and the small but vital corpus of poetry have subsequently become some of the most celebrated writing in nineteenth-century literature. This new edition in the 21st-Century Oxford Authors series presents Emily Bronte's work as it was first known to the reading public, together withwhat manuscript evidence survives of what she had originally intended. It also reproduces the slender amount of personal writing that Emily Bronte left behind and both early criticism and early poems about her. Emily Bronte's sister Charlotte was significant in the initial reception of Emily's work,and this edition allows the reader to see Charlotte Bronte's interventions into her sister's texts and to evaluate them. Centrally, though, this edition is about how Emily Bronte, a remarkably original voice in literature, was first read. Here, primarily, is the Emily Bronte in and of her ownlifetime.
