Description

A collection of essays, excerpts and assorted writing on the subject of Emily Brontë by such notable writers as John Cowper Powys, Virginia Woolf, Mrs Gaskell, and others. Emily Jane Brontë (1818 – 1848), also known under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, was an English poet and novelist best known for her only novel and classic of English literature, “Wuthering Heights”. She was the third-oldest of the four Brontë siblings who survived into adulthood. Contents include: “Emily Brontë By John Cowper Powys”, “Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell”, “Women Novelists of Queen Victoria’s Reign – A Book of Appreciations By Mrs. Oliphant”, “Haworth By Virginia Woolf”, “Figures of Several Centuries By Arthur Symons”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this classic volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of literature lovers now and for years to come.
