Emily Bront‪ë‬

First published in 1883, A. Mary F. Robinson's Emily Brontë was a landmark: the earliest full-length study of the author of Wuthering Heights, written by a fellow woman of letters barely a generation after the novelist's death. This edition reproduces Robinson's complete, unabridged text — her vivid portrait of the windswept parsonage at Haworth, the fierce sibling collaborations of Charlotte, Branwell, and Emily, and a brief, blazing career cut short at thirty — together with a new introduction and reader's notes that set the biography in its Victorian context and flag the points where scholarship has since moved on. Whether you arrive as a devoted Brontëan or a curious newcomer, Robinson's elegant, occasionally speculative prose offers a fascinating window into how Emily Brontë was first remembered, mythologized, and loved. Warm, readable, and richly annotated, this is literary history as it was first written. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
