Emily Brontë: A Life in 20 Poems

Emily Brontë: A Life in 20 Poems

Author(s): Nick Holland

Location(s): Yorkshire

Genre(s): Nonfiction

Era(s): 19th century

Whilst Emily Brontë wrote only one novel, the mysterious and universally adored Wuthering Heights, she is widely acknowledged as the best poet of the Bronte sisters, and indeed as one of the greatest female poets of all time. Taking twenty of her most revealing poems, Nick Holland creates a unifying impression of Emily Brontë, showing her relationships with her family in a new light, and revealing how this terribly shy young woman could create such wild and powerful writing, and why she turned her back on the outside world for an insular world that existed only in her own mind.
