The Bronte family was a literary phenomenon unequalled before or since. Both Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Emily's Wuthering Heights have won lofty places in the pantheon and stirred the romantic sensibilities of generations of readers. For the first time ever, Penguin Classics unites these two enduring favorites with the lesser known but no less powerful work by their youngest sister, Anne. Drawn from Anne's own experiences as a governess, Agnes Grey offers a compelling view of Victorian chauvinism and materialism. Its inclusion makes "The Bronte Sisters" a must-have volume for anyone fascinated by this singularly talented family.

The tale of Heathcliff and Cathy's ungovernable love and suffering, and the havoc that their passion wreaks on the families of the Earnshaws and the Lintons, shocked the book's first readers, with even Emily's sister Charlotte wondering 'whether it is right or advisable to create beings like Heathcliff'. Replete with unforgettable characters and situations that have seared themselves into our literary consciousness, Emily Bronte's intense masterpiece is one of the most haunting love stories in the canon of English literature.

This collection brings together three pieces of work that, incredibly, were all published within a single year. That Jane Eyre (Charlotte), Wuthering Heights (Emily) and Agnes Grey (Anne), works of such lasting quality, were produced in such a short space of time is incredible enough: that it was all the output of three sisters living straitened lives in a lonely Yorkshire village was extraordinary. The story of the Bronte sisters is surely unique in literary history. Here were three girls who spent the greater part of their tragically brief lives in an austere, isolated parsonage on the Yorkshire moors. Their contacts with the outside world were brief and often unhappy, they fought a continual, hopeless battle against failing health, yet their combined willpower, energy and talent resulted in a stream of letters, stories, poems and novels, including two undoubted masterpieces, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. The three novels in this volume form a representative cross-section of their mature work. The most famous of them, Jane Eyre, is a deeply-felt, passionate story, based in part on Charlotte's personal experiences, strong in situation and characterisation. Wuthering Heights, Emily's only prose work, though bitterly attacked in its day, is recognised today as one of the greatest of English romantic novels. It is a powerful and imaginative tale with marvellous descriptions of the wild beauty of the moors. Agnes Grey, by the youngest sister Anne, is a moving and simply written story of a governess's life, again based on her own unhappy experiences.

The heartbreaking tale of the doomed lovers Heathcliff and Catherine, Emily Bronte's gothic masterpiece, "Wuthering Heights", has enthralled readers for more than a century and a half-spawning film and televison adaptations, operas, musicals, and a hit single by British pop superstar Kate Bush. It is the ultimate story of young, unrequited love, an acknowledged favorite of "Twilight's" own star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward. Now Bronte's classic is reborn with a brilliantly conceived, gorgeously illustrated unabridged edition certain to appeal to today's readers, including the millions of avid fans of "The Twilight" saga. With more than 40 original illustrations by renowned artist Tracey Dockray - giving the story a fresh, boldly contemporary visual spin - "Wuthering Heights" is now more exhilarating and alive than ever before! "Wuthering Heights" will be directed by Andrea Arnold, who won an Academy Award for her short live action film "Wasp", in 2005. Her film "Red Road" was cited as one of the discoveries of this year's Cannes Film Festival (2006). It went on to win the Jury Prize at Cannes that year. Arnold won the 2007 BAFTA Award for Best Newcomer for directing "Red Road". Her 2009 film "Fish Tank" permiered at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, where she once again won the Jury Prize. The film also went on to win the BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film in 2010. The film stars Kaya Scodelario, Nichola Burley, and newcomer James Howson.

'...ever-present, phantom thing; My slave, my comrade, and my king' Some of Emily Bronte's most extraordinary poems Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday.

Harmincéves sem volt még Emily, a középső Brontë nővér, amikor - egy esztendővel a halála előtt - megírta ezt a regényt, a világirodalom egyik legkülönösebb szerelmi regényét, mely romantikus meseszövése dacára talán az első modern angol regény is. A mű Anne, a fiatalabb Brontë húg Agnes Grey című kötetével egy időben, és a Charlotte tehetségét dicsérő Jane Eyre előtt alig néhány hónappal jelent meg. Szerelem, gyűlölet, bosszú. Így summázható Catherine és Heathcliff sírig - s talán azon túl is - tartó szenvedélyes kapcsolata. A lány apja befogadja az árva fiút, akit Catherine fivére, Hindley kezdettől fogva megvet és cselédként kezel. Az apa idővel meghal, s noha az öntörvényű lelenc és a lány között az évek során szerelem szövődik, Catherine mégis az elegáns és udvarias Edgar Linton felesége lesz. Heathcliff így minden szeretetből kiszorul, ezért egy viharos éjjelen elszökik. Évekig nem is hallani felőle, ám amikor visszatér, eltökélt szándéka, hogy méltó bosszút áll az elszenvedettekért, és sötét szándékainak olthatatlan szerelme sem vethet gátat...

The Bronte sisters lives and works have become modern-day cultural touchstones. Emily Bronte, best known for her novel WUTHERING HEIGHTS, began writing poetry first and, before her untimely death, wrote some of the most touching and emotive poems which often reflected the landscape of her Yorkshire home. Charlotte Bronte, whose novel JANE EYRE has had numerous TV and film adaptations, took responsibility for finding a home for their work. In her own words, ' We had very early cherished the dream of one day becoming authors'. Anne Bronte, author of AGNES GREY, often used autobiographical elements in her poems, giving us a hints of the struggles and turmoil of her life. These poems offer glimpses of the joys and sorrows of the Brontes and are a beautifully compelling introduction to their writing and lives.
