·:The enigma that a young woman from such a closed and protected environ-ment as a Yorkshire parsonage could write the wildly romantic, complex, andunconventional Wuthering Heights has long fascinated readers.Largely self-educated, Emily Bront6 spent most of her short life at the familyhome in Haworth, England. Her solitary instincts are well known, and everybiographer's task has been complicated by her refusal to reveal anything ofherself during her lifetime.In this fascinating biography, Robert Barnard examines Emily Bront6'sinsulated childhood, the lyrical poems of her twenues that prefigure the rawintensity of Wuthering Heights, and the sources and inspiration for WutheringHeights itself. The author draws not only on Bront6's own writing, but also onthe words of her friends and family to present a full picture of her life andcharacter. Also crucial to this story are recent discoveries concerningBront6's studies of the classics, glimpses of her in her brother's recentlypublished juvenilia, and her little-known writing during her year of study inBrussels.
