Selected Poems of Emily Bronte

"Bloomsbury Poetry Classics" are selections from the work of some of our greatest poets.

The series is aimed at the general reader rather than the specialist and carries no critical or explanatory apparatus.

This can be found elsewhere. In the series the poems introduce themselves, on an uncluttered page and in a format that is both attractive and convenient.

The selections have been made by the distinguished poet, critic and biographer Ian Hamilton. Emily Bronte was born in 1818. She was described as the finest woman poet in English literature although it is for her novel, "Wuthering Heights" that she is chiefly famous.

Some of her more famous poems include "To Imagination" and "Plead for Me".

She died in 1848.
