Emily Brontë's Poems
Captions available
The idea
Emily Brontë, with her sisters, wrote of imaginary kingdoms, and published Poems in eighteen forty-six as Ellis Bell. Her poems, such as "No coward soul is mine," voice a fierce, independent spiritual vision; the anchor ties them to the crisis of faith and to Wuthering Heights.
In practice
A fearless, solitary faith.
Where people slip
Her poems share the novel's intensity.
