Emily Bronte

August 17, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article introduces Emile Brontë who like the famous poet P.B. Shelley died at thirty. August twentieth is the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of the young author. Although a recluse the young author lived and worked long enough to be called "the most striking genius nineteenth-century womanhood has furnished." Her solitary novel "Wuthering Heights," is nearly forgotten by the general public while "Jane Eyre," written by her sister Charlotte Bronte, is still, on the whole, widely read.
