*Emily was a poet
as well as a novelist of Victorian Era. Her works were fascinating and power of
passion swept through her writings.
*The position of
Emily Bronte’ in English literature is indeed unique. She was the only one of
the Bronte’ sisters whose verse has directly the touch of genius.. The famous
LAST LINES assuredly touch that level.
*Emily rarely wrote a stanza that has not the touch of fine poetry
in it. Such poems as A little while, a little while, the weary
task is put away; Rememberance; Shall Earth no more inspire thee; The Linnet in the rocky dell –
to mention a few.
*Emily was a tall striking looking woman and still more reserved than Charlotte. In Charlotte’s SHIRLEY,
the heroine Caroline was modeled on Emily.
‘’In the bleak solitude she found many and dear delights,” wrote
Charlotte, “and not the least and best loved was liberty. Liberty was the
breath of Emily’s nostrils, without it she perished.”
*WUTHERING
HEIGHTS was just published when Emily was taken ill, and died of consumption in December 1848.
