Emily Brontë
Emily Brontë was an English novelist and poet whose singular contribution to literature, Wuthering Heights, is now celebrated as one of the most powerful and original novels in the English language. Born into the remarkable Brontë family on 30 July 1818 in Thornton, Yorkshire, she was the fifth of six children of Maria Branwell and Patrick Brontë, an Irish clergyman. Her early life was marked by both intellectual curiosity and profound loss. After the death of her mother in 1821 and the subsequent deaths of her two eldest sisters in 1825, Emily and her surviving siblings— Charlotte, Anne, and Branwell—were raised in relative seclusion in the moorland village of Haworth, where their imaginations flourished in a household shaped by books, storytelling, and emotional intensity. The Brontë children created elaborate fictional worlds, notably Angria and later Gondal, which served as an outlet for their creative energies. Emily, in particular, gravitated toward Gondal, a mysterious, windswept imaginary land she developed with her sister Anne. Her early poetry, much of it steeped in the mythology and characters of Gondal, demonstrated a remarkable lyrical force and emotional depth. These poems remained private until discovered by Charlotte in 1845, after which Emily reluctantly agreed to publish them in the 1846 collection Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, using the pseudonym Ellis Bell to conceal her gender. Though the volume sold few copies, critics identified Emily’s poems as the strongest in the collection, lauding her for their music, power, and visionary quality. Emily was intensely private and reclusive by nature. She briefly attended schools in Cowan Bridge and Roe Head but was plagued by homesickness and preferred the solitude of the Yorkshire moors, which inspired much of her work. She worked briefly as a teacher but found the demands of the profession exhausting. She also studied in Brussels with Charlotte in 1842, but again found herself alienated and yearning for home. Throughout her life, Emily remained closely bonded with her siblings, particularly Anne, and with the landscape of Haworth, where she drew on the raw, untamed beauty of the moors for both her poetry and her fiction. Her only novel, Wuthering Heights, was published in 1847, a year after the poetry collection, under her pseudonym Ellis Bell. Initially met with a mixture of admiration and shock, the novel’s structure, emotional intensity, and portrayal of violent passion and moral ambiguity stood in stark contrast to the conventions of Victorian fiction. Many readers, unable to reconcile its power with the expected gentility of a woman writer, assumed it had been written by a man. The novel tells the story of Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw—two characters driven by obsessive love, cruelty, and vengeance—and explores themes of nature, the supernatural, and the destructive power of unresolved emotion. Though controversial at the time, Wuthering Heights is now considered a landmark in English literature, acclaimed for its originality, psychological insight, and poetic vision. Emily's personality has been the subject of much speculation, shaped in part by her sister Charlotte’s later writings and by Victorian biographies that often sought to romanticize or domesticate her character. While some accounts depict her as intensely shy and austere, others highlight her fierce independence, deep empathy with animals, and profound inner life. She is remembered as a solitary figure, closely attuned to the rhythms of the natural world, with a quiet but formidable intellect and a passion for truth and freedom. Her dog, Keeper, was a constant companion and, according to many, a window into her capacity for fierce, loyal love. Emily Brontë died of tuberculosis on 19 December 1848 at the age of thirty, just a year after the publication of her novel. Her early death, following those of her brother Branwell and soon to

Dans le froid et sombre presbytère du petit village de Haworth (Angleterre), il y avait vers le milieu du siècle dernier trois jeunes filles et un garçon privés de mère et tous promis à une existence brève. Comme pour prendre de vitesse l'ange de la mort qui allait les saisir en quelques années, ces enfants doués écrivirent au sortir de l'adolescence quelques chefs-d'œuvre. Dans Agnès Grey (1847), Anne Brontë met en scène des sentiments et un bonheur qu'elle n'a pas eu le temps de vivre. Dans Villette (1852), Charlotte révèle un bonheur qu'elle faillit connaître au prix du scandale. Il revenait à Emily Brontë d'écrire avec Wuthering Heights (1847) un livre ténébreux et orageux (dans lequel on reconnaît, sous le diabolique Heathcliff, leur frère Branwell), le roman de la fatalité et du désespoir, un récit épouvantable et beau que l'on n'attendait pas sous la plume d'une jeune fille de vingt-cinq ans.
"In this collection of their poetry, published under gender-concealing pseudonyms, we get an intimate glimpse of their fears, hopes, faith, and desires." — Haunted Library"This collection is not only for fans of the Brontë Sisters and classic rhyming poetry but also for readers that crave heartbreaking gothic angst." — Eastside Middle SchoolAmong the most talented siblings in English literary history, the Brontë sisters are best remembered for their Emily's Wuthering Heights, Charlotte's Jane Eyre, and Anne's Tenant of Wildfell Hall, among other works. It is less well known that the sisters also composed a considerable amount of fine poetry.This volume contains forty-seven poems by all three sisters. Selections include Charlotte's "Presentiment," "Passion," two poems on the deaths of her sisters, and six more. There are twenty-three poems by Emily (considered the best poet of the three), including "Faith and Despondency" and "No Coward Soul Is Mine." The works of all three sisters share the qualities of intelligence, awareness, and heartfelt emotion, expressed in simple, highly readable verse. Gathered in this handy, inexpensive collection, the poems represent a superb introduction to a lesser-known aspect of the Brontës' literary art.
Ahora considerada una de las mejores novelas de la literatura inglesa, Cumbres Borrascosas es la única obra escrita por Emily Brontë, quien, posiblemente debido a su prematuro fallecimiento a los 30 años, no llegó a crear más novelas. Publicada por primera vez en 1847 bajo el seudónimo de «Ellis Bell», esta novela ha capturado la imaginación de generaciones con su intenso retrato del amor y la venganza en los páramos desolados de Yorkshire, donde dos familias, los Earnshaw y los Linton, se entrelazan en una compleja red de pasiones y conflictos que trascienden la muerte.La estructura de Cumbres Borrascosas es única, presentando la historia a través de relatos de segunda e incluso tercera mano. Esto significa que la narrativa pasa por múltiples intérpretes antes de llegar al lector, lo que introduce un matiz de subjetividad y sesgo en la historia. Nelly, la narradora principal, es un personaje cuya simpatía hacia los protagonistas es cuestionable, lo que obliga al lector a participar activamente en la interpretación de los eventos y a no tomar nada por sentado. Este enfoque narrativo desafía al lector a profundizar más allá de la superficie de lo narrado, buscando el significado en los recovecos ocultos de la trama.Esta traducción ha sido realizada por Joaquín de la Sierra, un especialista en la traducción de obras clásicas al español. Joaquín ha trabajado en la traducción de novelas icónicas como Jane Eyre, La Guerra de los Mundos y El Hombre Invisible, entre otras. Su habilidad para capturar la esencia de los textos originales, al mismo tiempo que los adapta a la riqueza del idioma español, garantiza una experiencia de lectura fiel y enriquecedora para quienes deseen explorar este clásico de la literatura inglesa.

Marooned overnight in a lonely home on the Yorkshire moors, the effete Lockwood dreams of a wraith locked out in the snow. Gradually he learns the violent history of the house's owner, the fierce, saturnine Heathcliff and the thwarted love that has led him to exact terrible revenge on the two families that have sought to oppose him.Since its original publication in 1847, Emily Bronte's only novel, whether repelling, captivating or intriguing different generations of readers, has never relaxed its powerful grip on the public, and the figure of the haunted, brutal Heathcliff has become part of Britain's cultural mythology.This edition also includes over sixty of Emily Bronte's poems, an introduction, notes, text summary, selected criticism and a chronology of Emily Bronte's life and times.(back cover)
The cheerful comforts of home, and the joys of memory and hope, form the background for an expression of inner fortitude in this moving book of solitude and sorrow. Despite the isolation of Haworth, the small Yorkshire village where she was raised, Emily Brontë manages to transcend her surroundings to give the universal themes of love, time, and death a thoroughly new and fascinating interpretation. Penned for her own consolation, and as a kind of shorthand of her soul, these poems—most of which were unpublished in her lifetime—reveal the depth and scope of her vision. Emily Brontë is the author of Wuthering Heights, one of the most popular romances of all time.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bront is Wuthering Heights. Under the alias Ellis Bell, it was initially published in 1847. Her sister Charlotte edited a posthumous second edition. The title of the book refers to the Yorkshire manor on the moors where the action takes place (as an adjective, wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The story describes Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw's all-consuming and passionate—yet thwarted—love and how this unrequited love ultimately destroys them and those close to them.

“Though Earth and moon were gone,And suns and universes ceased to be,And Thou wert left alone,Every Existence would exist in Thee.”From the transcendent beauty of nature observed on the Yorkshire moors to fierce and forceful confrontations of mortality, Emily Brontë's poems are powerful and passionate works that eloquently elaborate upon her sister Charlotte's description of her as ""a solitude-loving raven, no gentle dove”.While only twenty-one of Emily Brontë's poems were published in her lifetime, her poetic oeuvre is rich and varied, and not only includes visionary poems such as 'No Coward Soul Is Mine' and 'Remembrance', but also features the poems that describe the imagined realm of Gondal and its inhabitants, which she created with her sister Anne.

EMILY BRONTE This book collects together Emily Brontes finest poems.EXTRACT FROM THE INTRODUCTIONEMILY BRONTE as a poet is still neglected today. Her novel Wuthering Heights, however, remains one of the great English novels. It continues to sell, continues to be adapted for radio, theatre, film and television, continues to inspire readers and be cited by critics.Wuthering Heights has entered British culture as both a serious work in academic circles and a series of cliches in popular culture. For scholars, Wuthering Heights is a superbly crafted and atmospheric piece of fiction which takes its place beside the great works of the 19th century (Tess of the dUrbervilles, Middlemarch, Great Expectations, Pride and Prejudice). For feminists, Emily Bronte has been appropriated as a proto-feminist, working largely in isolation in patriarchal Yorkshire, away from the metropolitan centres of culture, yet producing fiery fiction and poetry. For the general reader, Wuthering Heights is a fabulously moody, passionate and romantic book, with a powerful sense of pace, fully rounded characters and a thrill of mystery about it.The wind whistling through the heather in Winter is indeed the atmosphere of Wuthering Heights, and also of Brontes poetry. In poem after poem we find loving evocations of the moors: we hear of the breezy moor (in The starry night shall tidings bring), the flowerless moors (in How still, how happy Those are words), and of the moors where the linnet was trilling/ Its song on the old granite stone (in Loud without the wind was roaring, the most powerful of Brontes moor-poems).The key element of the moors is the expanse of sky and the wind that rages across it: the wind is without doubt Brontes favourite element, and is the sound that accompanies the cliched adaptions of Wuthering Heights. In the poetry we hear of The wind in its glory and pride (Loud without the wind was roaring), the life-giving wind (High waving heather neath stormy blasts bending), That wind, I used to hear it swelling/ With joy divinely deep (That wind, I used to hear it swelling), the wailing wind (All hushed and still within the house), And winds shall wage a wilder war (How still, how happy ), and The wild winds coldly blow (The night is darkening round me).These simple, elemental facts - the heather, the moor, the wind, the night - are what recur in Emily Brontes poems, time after time. Dells, snow, linnets, rocky crags, greyness, darkness, graves; one can practically see her composing her lines as she sits in a darkened house at night, with the wind whistling outside.
The famous poem Love and Friendship by Emily Bronte.
In the small village of Haworth in Yorkshire the Bronte family created novels and poems that are still admired to this day around the world. The middle of the three Bronte sisters, Emily Jane was born on 30th July 1818. The author of ‘Wuthering Heights’ she was also a very talented poet as witnessed here in this collection. She died of tuberculosis at the age of only 30 on 19th December 1848. So frail at death her coffin measured only sixteen inches wide.
The famous love poem Remembrance by Emily Bronte.
