"Meu amor por Linton é como a folhagem da floresta: tempo irá mudá-lo, estou ciente, como o inverno muda as árvores.

Meu amor por Heathcliff é como as rochas eternas abaixo: uma fonte de prazer pouco visível, mas necessária.

Nelly, eu sou Healthcliff! Ele está sempre, sempre em minha mente: não como um prazer, mais do que eu estou sempre um prazer para mim mesmo, mas como meu próprio ser. "

Wuthering Heights de Emily Brontë, que morreu neste dia em 1848 (30 anos), o título do

“My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Healthcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.”
―from Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, who died on this day in 1848 (age 30)

The title of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors of the story. The narrative centres on the all-encompassing, passionate, but ultimately doomed love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and the people around them. Virginia Woolf said of Emily Brontë that her writing could "make the wind blow and the thunder roar," and so it does in Wuthering Heights. Catherine Earnshaw, Heathcliff, and the windswept moors that are the setting of their mythic love are as immediately stirring to the reader of today as they have been for every generation of readers since the novel was first published in 1847. With an introduction by Katherine Frank.

romance vem da mansão de Yorkshire pelos mouros da história. A narrativa centra-se em amor abrangente, apaixonado, mas, finalmente,

condenado entre Catherine Earnshaw e Heathcliff, e como este não resolvidos paixão eventualmente destrói-los e as pessoas ao seu redor. Virginia Woolf disse de Emily Brontë que sua escrita poderia "fazer o vento soprar e o trovão rugir",

e então ele faz em Wuthering Heights. Os mouros varridas pelo vento que são a configuração de seu amor mítico, Heathcliff e Catherine Earnshaw são como mexendo imediatamente ao leitor de hoje, como eles foram para todas as gerações de leitores, desde que o romance foi publicado pela primeira vez em 1847.

On this day in 1849 Anne Brontë died of tuberculosis, the third death in eight months among the Brontë siblings.

“I am satisfied that if a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be. All novels are or should be written for both men and women to read, and I am at a loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man.”
― Anne Brontë, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

The only one-volume hardcover edition of the two uncommonly powerful novels written by the youngest of the famous Brontë sisters. Anne Brontë wrote these two fantastically successful novels just before her tragically early death, both of them in a much more grittily realistic mode than the more romantic ones favored by her sisters. Agnes Grey, the story of a governess working for disdainful and cruel employers, is a wrenching account of the desperate straits faced by Victorian women without money or husband. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall tells a story that was shocking for its time: a woman leaves her alcoholic and abusive husband in order to protect their young son and must live in hiding to prevent the law from taking her child away from her. These novels have become classics not only by dint of the subtle and ironic force of Anne Brontë's prose but because of the passionate indictments of social injustice that animate them.
