The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë

This volume collects Emily Bronte's surviving poems, including the Gondal pieces written with her sister about an invented island of prisons, queens, and civil war, and the lyrics not tied to that saga. Speakers address the moor, the wind, a dead lover, liberty, and the soul that will not yield. Night, winter, and the grave return as settings. The poems are brief, often stanzaic, and dramatic rather than autobiographical in a simple sense. There is no single narrative. The book is a poetry collection, not Wuthering Heights and not the Gondal prose, which is lost.

Bound in quarter red-brown leather with dark green cloth boards. Dust-jacket.
