1887 Wuthering Heights & Agnes Grey Anne Emily Charlotte Brontë Sisters Feminism

 

This volume combines two classic works by the Brontë sisters, Emily and Anne, with an insightful preface and memoir by their sister Charlotte. Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights,” her only novel, enters into the deep and tumultuous relationships between two families on the Yorkshire moors, exploring themes of passion, revenge, and the supernatural within a Gothic framework. It was controversial at its time for its raw depiction of cruelty and challenge to social norms. Anne Brontë’s “Agnes Grey” follows a governess’s experiences in the English gentry, drawing on Anne’s own struggles in the position. It discusses the oppression of women, the importance of empathy, and advocates for animal welfare, adopting elements of the bildungsroman genre. Both novels, now revered as masterpieces of English literature, showcase the distinctive voices and perspectives of the Brontë sisters, offering a poignant look at 19th-century society’s complexities and constraints.
