Summary

The Complete Works of Emily Brontë gathers the extraordinary range of a writer whose small surviving oeuvre altered the course of English literature. Centered on Wuthering Heights, with its violent passions, fractured narration, and bleak Yorkshire moorland, the volume reveals Brontë's fusion of Gothic intensity, Romantic metaphysics, and startling psychological realism. Her poems and Gondal fragments further disclose a mind preoccupied with sovereignty, exile, death, spiritual hunger, and the elemental forces of nature. Emily Brontë (1818–1848), the most enigmatic of the Brontë siblings, lived largely within the secluded world of Haworth Parsonage, where family collaboration, private mythmaking, and the harsh landscape shaped her imagination. Educated intermittently but intellectually formidable, she drew upon solitude, religious questioning, and acute observation of rural life. Her refusal of easy moralism or sentimental convention helps explain the fierce originality of her art. This collection is indispensable for readers seeking more than a single canonical novel. It offers access to the full architecture of Brontë's imagination: austere, passionate, and philosophically daring. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find here a body of work that remains unsettling, beautiful, and inexhaustibly modern.

    Charlotte Perkins Gilman was born on 3rd July 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut, to an unaffectionate mother and a father who abandoned her and her older brother to a life of poverty. 
    Inevitably her schooling was limited and by 15 she had attended seven different schools but received only four years education.  However Charlotte was resourceful and did spend time with her father’s aunts – the suffragist Isabella Beecher Hooker and the ‘Uncle Tom Cabin’s’ author, Harriet Beecher Stowe as well as many hours at the public library studying ancient civilisations. 
    In 1878, she enrolled in classes at the Rhode Island School of Design where she met Martha Luther and they developed a close relationship until Luther married in 1881. Charlotte was devastated and detested romance and love until she met and married the artist Charles Walter Stetson.  
    Their only child, Katharine Beecher Stetson, was born in 1885 but left Charlotte with post-natal depression, then often dismissed as a case of hysteria or nerves.  Unsuited to domestic life she ruptured her life and moved to California with Katherine.  She divorced in 1894 and then sent Katharine east to live with her father and his second wife confirming that his paternal rights be acknowledged and that Katherine establish a relationship with her father. 
    After her mother died in 1893, Charlotte moved back east and became involved with her first cousin, Wall Street attorney, Houghton Gilman who she married in 1900. After his death she moved back to California, where Katherine now lived.   
    Her most popular story is ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ which touched on her own post-partum depression and underlined the need for women to be responsible for their mental and physical well-being, as the narrator is ordered by her husband/doctor to take compete rest in her room where she is isolated and becomes obsessed with the revolting yellow wallpaper.   
    She wrote other notable short stories the best of which we also include.   
    Charlotte lectured widely for social reform, wrote important non-fiction works that questioned our patriarchal system and left a legacy as a leading and positive spokesperson for feminism.  
    She was diagnosed with incurable breast cancer in 1932 and, as she wrote in her suicide note and autobiography, she ‘chose chloroform over cancer’    
    Charlotte Perkins Gilman took her own life on 17th August 1935, aged 75, in Pasadena, California.

    There is something about the number 3.    
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    On October 3, 1951, the New York Giants’ Bobby Thomson hit a dramatic ninth inning game-winning home run off the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Ralph Branca at the Polo Grounds in the decisive third game of a three-game playoff to win the National League pennant. 
    It would be known in baseball lore as the "Shot Heard 'Round the World." 
    The game — the first ever televised nationally—was seen by millions of viewers across America and heard on radio by millions more, including thousands of American servicemen stationed in Korea, listening on Armed Forces Radio.
