The poems of Emily Jane Bronte are passionate and powerful works that convey the vitality of the human spirit and of the natural world. Only twenty-one of her poems were published during her lifetime - this volume contains those and all others attributed to her. Many poems describe the mythic country of Gondal and its citizens that she imagined with Anne, and remain the only surviving record of their joint creation. Other visionary works, including 'Remembrance' and 'No coward soul is mine', boldly confront mortality and anticipate life after death. And poems such as 'Redbreast early in the morning' and 'The blue bell is the sweetest flower' evoke the wild beauties of nature she observed on the Yorkshire moors, while also examining the state of her psyche.

Introduction and Notes by John S. Whitley, University of Sussex. Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue, Canterbury Christ Church University College. Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.

Na statek jménem Drozdov přijíždí z Londýna, aby tu užil klidného života v ústraní, pan Lockwood a záhy se seznamuje s obyvateli nedaleké usedlosti: ponurého, osamělého místa zvaného Větrná hůrka. Jeho majitel, temný a prchlivý Heatcliff, tu žije ve společnosti dvou mladých lidí Katky a Haretona. Z vyprávění své služebné Nelly se pan Lockwood postupně dozvídá o dramatické historii obyvatel Větrné hůrky a lásce mezi Katčinou matkou Kateřinou a Heatcliffem. Jejich příběh, odehrávající se v nehostinné krajině yorkshirských vřesovišť, není pouhým romantickým setkáním dvou milujících lidí, ale především vášnivým vztahem dvou nespoutaných, komplikovaných osobností, jejichž vztah poznamená nerovné postavení, ctižádost, ale i touha po pomstě. Tento román je jediným dílem spisovatelky Emily Brontëové, a když byl v roce 1847 pod pseudonymem Ellis Bell vydán, nevzbudil žádný mimořádný ohlas, snad kvůli své nezvyklé a složité kompozici nebo možná nejednoznačností povah jeho hlavních hrdinů. Postupně si k němu ale čtenáři našli cestu a stal se jedním z vrcholných děl anglické literatury.

Na bouřném severu Anglie leží Větrná hůrka. Panství vřesovišť a mokřadů, kde žijí lidé nezkrotní jako okolní příroda. Kraj, kde na hřbitovech ještě straší a kde vášeň stravuje zamilovaná srdce. Tento historický román se odehrává na Drozdově a Větrné hůrce od druhé poloviny 18. století do počátku 19. století. Působivý román je mistrnou psychologickou studií člověka, který zasvětil život pomstě. Autorka sugestivně líčí prostředí, v němž hrdina vyrůstal, objasňuje příčiny, pro které se z normálního chlapce vyvinul v ovzduší nenávisti tvor, který splácí všechny domnělé i skutečné křivdy nelidským způsobem a jenž nezná slitování ani sám se sebou. Jediná bytost, žena, která je schopná učinit z něho normálního člověka, se provdá za jeho soka a za dramatických okolností umírá. Tím jsou spáleny všechny mosty mezi hrdinou a okolním světem a začíná příběh fanatické pomsty na všech příslušnících rodiny milované ženy. Emily Brontëová, mladší sestra Charlotty Brontëové, publikovala svůj jediný román roku 1847 pod mužským pseudonymem Ellis Bell. O rok později, v pouhých třiceti letech, zemřela.

With an Introduction and Notes by Peter Merchant, Canterbury Christchurch University CollegeThe Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion and betrayal. It portrays the disintegration of the marriage of Helen Huntingdon, the mysterious ‘tenant’ of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband. Defying convention, Helen leaves her husband to protect their young son from his father’s influence, and earns her own living as an artist. Whilst in hiding at Wildfell Hall, she encounters Gilbert Markham, who falls in love with her.On its first publication in 1848, Anne Brontë’s second novel was criticised for being ‘coarse’ and ‘brutal’. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall challenges the social conventions of the early nineteenth century in a strong defence of women’s rights in the face of psychological abuse from their husbands.Anne Brontë’s style is bold, naturalistic and passionate, and this novel, which her sister Charlotte considered ‘an entire mistake’, has earned Anne a position in English literature in her own right, not just as the youngest member of the Brontë family.This newly reset text is taken from a copy of the 1848 second edition in the Library of the Brontë Parsonage Museum and has been edited to correct known errors in that edition.

He and his siblings were orphaned at a young age - his father died in a riding accident in 1804 and his mother died six years later. Keats then left Enfield school to train as an apothecary and a surgeon but he was to leave his profession to dedicate his time to poetry. His first volume, Poems, was published in 1817 and only two more volumes, in 1818 and 1820, were published during his lifetime. In 1818 he fell in love with his neighbour Fanny Brawne, but he broke off their engagement due to his increasing ill health and lack of funds. In 1820 he moved to Italy where he died a year later of tuberculosis, the disease that claimed his mother and his brother Tom.

Už půldruhého století fascinuje Jana Eyrová čtenářky i čtenáře a znalci si dodnes lámou hlavu, proč je tohle dílo tak oblíbené. Jak už to bývá u knih, které zůstávají stále živé, musí příběh obsahovat něco víc, než jen nečekané zvraty romantických epizod a dramatické prvky gotického románu. Čas odvál upjatost viktoriánské epochy a utišil skandálnost chování a názorů nevázané hrdinky, na jejíž obranu spisovatelka napsala: "Nepleťme si konvenci s morálkou!” Královna Viktorie byla ostatně knihou přímo nadšena. Tajemství velké a široce oblíbené literatury se nedá definovat, ale něco nám generace nadšených čtenářů přece jen prozradí. Uvědomujeme si, že čteme smyšlený příběh, přitom ale cítíme, že hlas vypravěčky je podivuhodně skutečný, emoce jsou opravdové a události výbušné. Proto zápas nezdolné a statečné hrdinky s její nelidskou opatrovnicí, krutými podmínkami v internátní škole a s tuhým sociálním řádem působí tak mocně. Prozrazuje autorčinu vlastní zkušenost, prožitek šikanované dívky po ztrátě rodičů. A nemějme autorce za zlé, že v jejím velkém epickém příběhu láska překoná krutá protivenství, nepřízeň osudu i tíhu strašného tajemství. "Myslíte si snad, pane Rochestere, že když jsem chudá, nenápadná a bezvýznamná, že nemám duši ani srdce?"

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.Charlotte Bronte's first published novel, Jane Eyre was immediately recognised as a work of genius when it appeared in 1847. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society.

"Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt!"Throughout the hardships of her childhood - spent with a severe aunt and abusive cousin, and later at the austere Lowood charity school - Jane Eyre clings to a sense of self-worth, despite of her treatment from those close to her. At the age of eighteen, sick of her narrow existence, she seeks work as a governess. The monotony of Jane''s new life at Thornfield Hall is broken up by the arrival of her peculiar and changeful employer, Mr Rochester. Routine at the mansion is further disrupted by mysterious incidents that draw the pair closer together but which, once explained, threaten Jane''s happiness and integrity. A flagship of Victorian fiction, Jane Eyre draws the reader in by the vigour of Jane''s voice and the novel''s forceful depiction of childhood injustice, of the restraints placed upon women, and the complexities of both faith and passion. The emotional charge of Jane''s story is as strong today as it was more than 150 years ago, as she seeks dignity and freedom on her own terms. In this new edition, Juliette Atkinson explores the power of narrative voice and looks at the striking physicality of the novel, which is both shocking and romantic.

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.

Hailed as the greatest modern lyrical poet of Germany, Rainer Maria Rilke's genius lies in his passion for perfection, artistic integrity and `willingness to remain a perpetual beginner'. The verse contained in this selection ranges from the objective, naturalistic descriptions of his earliest works to the increasingly effusive outpourings of half-religious ecstasy and anguish that characterize his later poems and culminates in the overwhelmingly personal vision of the famous `Duino Elegies' and `The Sonnets to Orpheus', in which his most intense experiences of living and being find their noblest expression.
