See all formats and editions

Five novels by the nineteenth-century literary sisters who ';turned domestic constraints into grist for brilliant books' (The Atlantic). This collection brings together five novels by Anne, Charlotte, and Emily Bront in one volume.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bront: When a visitor arrives at a gloomy and isolated house in northern England, he discovers a story of passion, vengeance, and tragedy, in this gothic novel that shocked the readers of its day.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bront: Revolutionary for its time, this Victorian novel is narrated by its titular character, telling the story of her childhood as an abused orphan, her school years, her time as a governess, and her simmering passion for the elusive Mr. Rochester. Agnes Grey by Anne Bront: This novel follows the experiences of a minister's daughter who, when her family becomes impoverished, begins working as a governess, bringing her inside the homes of the English gentry, where she observes both material wealth and spiritual deprivation.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bront: Helen Graham is known as the young widow who moved into a long-empty mansion with her son, took up an artistic career, and kept her distance from her neighbors.

But readers of this classic, considered one of the earliest feminist novels, will discover there is more to Helen's story.

Shirley by Charlotte Bront: Set in a time of war, economic troubles, and the Luddites' rebellion against the rise of machines, this is the story of two female friends: one a strong-willed heiress, the other an insecure girl abandoned by her mother.
