Emily Brontë

Though quite a few books focusing on Charlotte Brontë's life and works were published in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, volumes dedicated solely to her younger sisters were few and far between (as May Sinclair noted, Anne Brontë in particular "will always be comparatively virgin soil"). In this 1883 volume, the prolific English writer and scholar A. Mary F. Robinson provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of Emily Brontë, the middle sister of the three literary Brontës. Just for her poetry and the solitary novel she completed during her lifetime, Emily Brontë earned a place in the canon of literary greats, though her life has largely remained a mystery to her many fans. Robinson sheds new light onto the timid but immensely creative and passionate middle sister, covering everything from her childhood in isolated Haworth, to the development of Wuthering Heights, to her tragically early death.
