This new edition in the 21st-Century Oxford Authors series presents Emily Brontë's work as it was first known to the reading public, together with what manuscript evidence survives of what she had originally intended. It also reproduces the slender amount of personal writing that Emily Brontë left behind and both early criticism and early poems about her. Emily Brontë's sister Charlotte was significant in the initial reception of Emily's work, and this edition allows the reader to see Charlotte Brontë's interventions into her sister's texts and to evaluate them.
