Sinopse

The Brontës: Complete Novels of Charlotte, Emily, & Anne Brontë encompasses an extraordinary collection showcasing the varied literary genius of the Brontë sisters. This anthology spans their passionate, often Gothic, narratives demonstrating a range of psychological depth, unbridled emotion, and keen social commentary that squarely places it within the rich context of Victorian literature. Noteworthy for containing all 8 novels, this comprehensive edition offers a sweeping overview of themes such as gender roles, love, and identity contrasted against the stark, often harsh Yorkshire moors which form the haunting backdrop of several narratives. Drawing on the stark differences and poignant similarities in the life experiences and outlooks of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë, the collected works highlight evolving approaches to femininity, morality, and class struggle. Raised in relative isolation but highly educated, their writings were profoundly influenced by their clergyman father's library and their own boundless imaginations, bridging Romantic and Victorian ideals. Their works, from 'Jane Eyre' to 'Wuthering Heights' to 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall,' underscore a dynamic, evolving dialogue about women's roles in society and literature. This anthology presents not only a seminal collection for enthusiasts of 19th-century English literature but also a vivid portal into the worlds crafted by these remarkable sisters. Readers are encouraged to immerse themselves in this comprehensive edition, where the interplay of the Brontës' visionary narratives continues to resonate with contemporary themes of individualism and social critique. It is an essential volume for anyone seeking to understand the depth and diversity of the canonical landscape shaped largely by these influential writers.

    Emma - A classic retelling

    Emma, is a novel about youthful hubris and romantic misunderstandings. It is set in the fictional country village of Highbury and the surrounding estates of Hartfield, Randalls and Donwell Abbey, and involves the relationships among people from a small number of families. The novel was first published in December 1815, with its title page listing a publication date of 1816. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian–Regency England. Emma is a comedy of manners, and depicts issues of marriage, sex, age, and social status. 
     
    Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the first sentence, she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and a happy disposition... had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray. 
     
    Emma, written after Austen's move to Chawton, was her last novel to be published during her lifetime, while Persuasion, the last complete novel Austen wrote, was published posthumously. 
     
    The novel has been adapted for a number of films, television programmes and stage plays. 
     
    Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique, and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism.
