5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Collection
Emily Bronte's poetry is wild and beautiful.Ranging between gentle melancholy to fierce pride, her poems successfully capture human emotion.Many of her poems are about, or written from the viewpoint of the inhabitants of, the fictional kingdom of Gondal.Although these are set in an imaginary land, the Gondal poems stand well alongside the more personal verse.This particular volume is valuable because it includes a description and history of the Gondal saga Emily and her sister Anne created.It is often hard, in other collections, to tell which is personal and which is fictional, but here the Gondal poems are listed.This is very useful to those who wish to study this creation of the Bronte imagination.Also useful is the the chronological order of the poems (as far as can be determined), which makes it easy to follow her development as a poet.I recommend it highly.

5-0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking
Few who read Emily Bronte's poems and magnificent novel, Wuthering Heights, can fail to be moved by the sheer power of her language and insight. Though her tragic early death robbed the world of countlessliterary treasures, EJB's poetry here provides plenty of beautiful poetry(some of it foreshadowing WH) for those who love her to enjoy and study.Read it and savor it. ...

Editorial Review

Book Description
The most gifted of her famous, troubled family, Emily Bronte has too often been portrayed in "storm-tossed, sentimental" biographies, according to Katherine Frank. Now Frank presents a startling new interpretation: pledged to self-denial and social isolation, Emily starved herself, contributing to her wild imagination. 16-page insert. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as you might believe...
Many of Frank's arguments were convincing to me--especially those regarding Emily's peculiar eating habits. All of her conclusions were backed up with sources, etc. Although I didn't believe this spin on the life of the Brontes word for word, I do think it was worthly of more than 1 star, hence my review. Check it out--you may disagree, but isn't that part of the fun?

1-0 out of 5 stars Chainless Soul?
Although it seems unrealistic to expect complete objectivity from any biographer, Katherine Frank shows a level of bias toward her subject somewhat striking in the genre.Her descriptions of Emily Bronte areenthusiastic and warm, even when Emily's behavior (by her own description)warrants at least some kind of approbation, or at least evenhandedness. This unmitigated warmth is reserved for Emily alone, however; Charlotte,for example, is portrayed as living a constant struggle withconventionality which Emily gloriously escapes.Of particular interest isthe expression of Emily and Charlotte's intense relationship.Charlotteconsistently suffers in the comparisons with her sister -- at least byFrank's view.She doesn't seem interested in exploring Charlotte'ssuffering under Emily's emotional tyranny, even though she does describe itin detail.One gets the impression that Charlotte would do better in thisbiography if only she would care a little less about what others think. Their brother, Branwell, fares badly as well, and Frank's conclusionregarding one of Branwell's many pathetic attempts to be employed that hehad been terminated due to a homosexual advance on his pupil seemsstrikingly unsubstantiated. Frank seems to come to this conclusion onlybecause she can't think of any other. In the end, it's not that thereader can't see what Frank shows as part of Emily's character, it's thatit's not the only thing to be seen. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description
Largely self-educated, Emily Bronte (1818-1848) was her father's favorite daughter and spent most of her life at the rectory in Haworth, on the edge of the Yorkshire moors. She lead a protected, uneventful existence, with almost no social contacts. Robert Barnard examines her insulated childhood, peculiarities, social boorishness, and aversion to relationships. He includes excerpts of Emily's lyrical poems of her twenties which presage the raw intensity of Wuthering Heights. Many aspects of her only novel are shaped by her own experiences, and the author traces the real-life counterparts of characters, landscape, and buildings. He draws extensively from critical sources varying from early reviews of Wuthering Heights to Gaskell's appraisal of Emily's "stern selfishness," to Juliet Barker's recent biography of the Bronte family. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Visually Appealing, Packed With Facts
The British Library Writers' Lives Series on EMILY BRONTE was shelved in the Biography section at my library with a "Young Adult" sticker on the spine.But why should the YA set have all the fun?This 112-page volume is packed with goodies:

It's Colorful.

Glossy pages, which makes for great reproductions of artwork.

Reproductions of Emily Bronte's original manuscripts (clearly readable with a magnifying glass or reading glasses).

Maps of where the Brontes lived and the settings for their books.

Many color and B&W photos of the Bronte homes.

Emily's watercolors and drawings (quite good ones, too).

Photos and drawings of structures and places that inspired Wuthering Heights.

Emily's poetry (also quite good).

Chronology of the Brontes.

Index.

Further reading.

This biography is primarly about Emily, but because her life was so intertwined with her sister Charlotte's life, the book is almost a dual biography.Probably because a young woman's life in the 19th century (on the English moor, anyway) was so family-centered, do we read so much about the entire Bronte family and those they daily interacted with.

Robert Barnard (author) is the Chairman of the Bronte Society and a writer of crime novels as well.His mystery/detective sense shines through in this volume, as he seems to be able to spot a smoking gun here and there in the Bronte history.He often highlights discrepancies, mysteries, and twists in the history of the Bronte family.Apparantly, there is no shortage of such mysteries and has given rise to many theories about the family and the girls.

This book is a fine introduction to the life of the Brontes.The photos, drawings, and other coloful items included in this slim volume bring this 19th century history to life.I highly recommend it for Young Adults and other adults as well. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description
Emily Bronte's achievement as a poet has been in part eclipsed by that of her masterpiece, Wuthering Heights, yet the poems reveal a powerful and highly individual imagination and poetic voice.The Poems of Emily Bronte is the first edition of the poetry to appear with full scholarly apparatus: based wherever possible on the manuscripts, it preserves Bronte's original (sometimes unorthodox) presentation, and records the stages of her revisions. The lack of any surviving manuscript of the novel makes this policy particularly valuable, since it offers the reader the rare chance of watching the writer's creative mind at work.Returning to the original manuscripts has achieved a more accurate text than in any previous edition, resulting in a substantial number of new readings.The Poems records everything that could be deciphered from these difficult manuscripts, including Emily Bronte's spelling, punctuation, and numerous variants, cancellations, and revisions.The enlightening introduction and commentary place the poems in their literary context, and a large number of echoes and parallels from Scott, Byron, Moore, and other authors are identified.The 'Gondal' Poems are related to what is known of that imaginary world in which many poems are set, and a fresh attempt is made to relate these to Emily Bronte's other poems. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars the best essay collection on emily brontë and her work
If you don't have any collection of articles about Emily Brontë or her work (or have only the Bloom's little book, or the selection in Norton Edition or Linda Peterson's one) this is one of the best to own (the other alternative being the TWO Macmillan Casebooks on Wuthering Heights). But this book, like the old Anne Smith (ed.) one, has also important studies on the life and religion (so to speak) of Emily, and covers also an often neglected field: her poems! OK, it's hardcover and it's not cheap, but is something of a must. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description

While Emily Bronte is best known for her masterpiece, Wuthering Heights, her poetry and French essays have received scant critical attention. As lyrical and inventive as any poet of her era, Bronte infused her work with an overriding concern for the condition of mankind, the meaning of life, and the ever-present questions that man asks about the nature of the universe, divine creation, and the fate of humanity. In her reinterpretation of Bronte's works, Jill Dix Ghnassia scrutinizes the writer's metaphysical questioning throughout the canon. By dividing Bronte's poetry into four chronological periods, Ghnassia shows how Bronte's writing evolved and matured during her short career, culminating in one of the most haunting and powerful novels of the Victorian era.

Book Description
A Student's Guide to Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë is a general introduction to one of the great English novels of the nineteenth century.Misunderstood by most critics and commentators upon its publication in 1847, the story of Catherine and Heathcliff and their peers and descendants slowly became recognized as the work of a genius and is now on nearly every list of recommended books for both high school and college students.However, many students today find the novel difficult to read and understand because of its language and its setting; especially challenging to some are the sections in which characters speak in the Yorkshire dialect.This guide provides an easy-to-use glossary of that dialect and translations of the dialogue.It also includes discussions of the social, economic, and political background of the period (the last part of the eighteenth and the first part of the nineteenth centuries). ...
