The Complete Works: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick & Branwell Brontë gathers together the oeuvre of one of the most remarkable literary families in history. This collection transcends the boundaries of the novel, poetry, and personal correspondence, offering readers a comprehensive view of the intellectual and emotional breadth of the Brontë family. From the windswept moors of 'Wuthering Heights' to the rigid social confines of 'Jane Eyre,' the anthology showcases a diversity of literary styles and thematic concerns, illustrating the family's broad literary and social significance. The collection does not shy away from presenting the less widely known yet equally compelling works of Patrick and Branwell, alongside their more famous sisters, thereby enriching the Brontë narrative. Given their varied contributions to English literature, the backgrounds of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick, and Branwell Brontë form a fascinating collage of individual genius united by familial bonds. Each member brought their unique perspective to bear on the issues of their time, encompassing themes of gender, class, and identity. The collection aligns with the rise of Romanticism and prefigures the realism that would dominate the Victorian era, highlighting how these authors collectively contributed to the literary movements of their time, despite their varied thematic concerns and narrative techniques. This anthology is recommended for readers eager to immerse themselves in the complex world of the Brontës. It presents a unique opportunity to explore a rich tapestry of literary achievements within a single volume, providing educational value and deep insights into the era and its literature. By encompassing the collective works of all five family members, the book fosters a dialogue between the different authors' works, inviting readers to appreciate the depth and diversity of the Brontë literary legacy.

Charlotte Brontë

The eldest of the famous sisters, Charlotte Bronte (1816–55) is best known as the author of Jane Eyre. The Brontes' first book - a collection of their poems, published under pseudonyms and at their own expense - met with scant notice.

Yet despite their remote Yorkshire residence, far from the London literary scene, and their tragically brief lives, all three achieved immortality with their individual novels. Charlotte's works are particularly prized for their moving and articulate depictions of the plight of educated but impoverished women in Victorian society.

Emily Brontë

Emily Bronte was born at Thornton, in Yorkshire, in 1818 and died in 1848. She was the younger sister of Charlotte Bronte and the fifth of six children.

Like her sister, Emily worked as a governess and later attended a private school in Brussels. Emily published poetry under a male pseudonym to avoid prejudice against female writers but Wuthering Heights was her only novel.
