Description
Emily Brontë's poems are often overshadowed by her more famous novel. This study seeks to rectify this imbalance, exploring the poems as a key aspect of Romantic and Victorian literature. Janet Gezari examines the poems in relation to Emily Brontë's inner experience and her pursuit of a stern morality. The book provides an in-depth analysis of individual poems, tracing the poet's development over time and examining her writing practice and motivations. By considering the poems alongside her novel Wuthering Heights, Last Things offers new insights into the emotions and concerns that underpin both works. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Emily Brontë's poetry, reinstating it at the heart of Romantic and Victorian literary concerns.
