The Bronte Sisters (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions)
Three Novels
(Author) Anne Bronte Emily BronteThe most cherished novel from each of England's talented sisters, in one gorgeously packaged volume. The Brontë 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. Drawn from Anne's own experiences as a governess, Agnes Grey offers a compelling view of Victorian chauvinism and materialism. Its inclusion makes The Brontë Sisters a must-have volume for anyone fascinated by this singularly talented family.
Anne Bronte
Anne Bronte (1820-1849) was an English novelist and poet, best known for her novel "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" which challenged the societal norms of the Victorian era. Her writing style was characterized by a strong moral stance and a focus on the struggles of women in society. Anne's works often addressed themes of love, family, and the role of women in a male-dominated world. Despite her short life, Anne Bronte made a significant impact on literature, particularly in the realm of feminist literature, and her works continue to be studied and admired for their social commentary and emotional depth.
Emily Bronte
Emily Bronte was an English novelist and poet, best known for her only novel "Wuthering Heights." Born in 1818, Bronte's writing style is characterized by its intense emotion, vivid imagery, and exploration of dark themes such as passion, revenge, and the supernatural. "Wuthering Heights" is considered a classic of English literature and has had a lasting impact on the Gothic and Romantic genres. Bronte's contribution to literature lies in her ability to create complex and flawed characters that continue to resonate with readers today. She passed away in 1848 at the age of 30, leaving behind a legacy of powerful and enduring works.
