Whilst Emily Brontë wrote only one novel, the mysterious and universally adored Wuthering Heights, she is widely acknowledged as the best poet of the Brontë sisters, and indeed as one of the greatest female poets of all time. Taking 20 of her most revealing poems, Nick Holland creates a unifying impression of Emily Brontë, showing her relationships with her family in a new light, and revealing how this terribly shy young woman could create such wild and powerful writing, and why she turned her back on the outside world for an insular world that existed only in her own mind.
