Emily Brontë: The Complete Works (The Greatest Novelists of All Time – Book 9) (Annotated) - Enriched Edition Complete Fiction and Poetry

Emily Brontë

Summary

Emily Brontë: The Complete Works gathers the surviving achievement of one of English literature's most singular imaginations, uniting the fierce Gothic innovation of Wuthering Heights with the visionary compression of her poems. Its landscapes of moor, storm, enclosure, and spiritual extremity transform Romantic inheritance into Victorian psychological drama. Brontë's prose is austere yet fevered, structurally daring, and morally unsettling, while her verse reveals a metaphysical intensity concerned with liberty, death, nature, and the soul. Born in 1818 in Yorkshire, Emily Brontë lived much of her short life within the intellectually charged but socially secluded world of the Haworth parsonage. Alongside her siblings Charlotte, Anne, and Branwell, she created elaborate imaginary kingdoms and cultivated a disciplined inwardness that shaped her mature art. Her experiences of isolation, the harsh beauty of the moors, religious questioning, and intimate acquaintance with loss all informed the uncompromising emotional terrain of her writing. This volume is recommended for readers seeking more than a single classic novel: it offers the full range of Brontë's radical imagination. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find here a writer whose small oeuvre possesses extraordinary depth, challenging conventional ideas of love, morality, gender, and literary form.

The Picture in the House - From...

HP Lovecraft

Howard Phillips Lovecraft is among the greatest American masters of fantasy and the supernatural.  
Born in 1890, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, his health was uncertain from childhood and he led a sheltered early life. His semi-invalidism enabled him to read omnivorously, and as a shy imaginative child he began to invent what would in his adult life become a whole macabre fantastic world of his own, peopled by creatures out of his own weird imagination.  
As an adult he was retiring, almost a recluse. Tall, thin and pale, but with bright alert eyes, he was much given to wandering his native city in the dark hours of the night, and he became a devoted student of its antiquities.  
Although he began to write early he had nothing published until he was in his twenties. He set many of his stories around the imaginary town of Arkham, and invented an entire mythology of his own, its core being the demoniac cult of Cthulhu, based on the lore or legend that the world was at one time inhabited by another race who, in practising black magic, lost their foothold or were expelled, yet live on outside, ever ready to take possession of this earth again. 
Since his early death in 1937 his stories have continued to attract attention and praise from an ever-growing audience.

The Eye of the Camera - From...

Fred M. White

Richard Bernard Heldmann was born on 12th October 1857, in St Johns Wood, North London.
By his early 20’s Heldmann began publishing fiction for the myriad magazine publications that had sprung up and were eager for good well-written content.
In October 1882, Heldmann was promoted to co-editor of Union Jack, a popular magazine, but his association with the publication ended suddenly in June 1883. It appears Heldman was prone to issuing forged cheques to finance his lifestyle. In April 1884 he was sentenced to 18 months hard labour.
In order to be well away from the scandal and the damage that this had caused to his reputation Heldmann adopted a pseudonym on his release from jail. Shortly thereafter the name ‘Richard Marsh’ began to appear in the literary periodicals. The use of his mother’s maiden name as part of it seems both a release and a lifeline.
A stroke of very good fortune arrived with his novel ‘The Beetle’ published in 1897. This would turn out to be his greatest commercial success and added some much-needed gravitas to his literary reputation.
Marsh was a prolific writer and wrote almost 80 volumes of fiction as well as many short stories, across many genres from horror and crime to romance and humour. His unusual characters, plotting devices and other literary developments have identified his legacy as one of the best British writers of his time.
Richard Marsh died from heart disease in Haywards Heath in Sussex on 9th August 1915. He was 57.
