Lauren | 2167 comments This edition (an alternative cover for the ISBN in the above thumbnail) is missing some information: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

(I own a physical copy.)

Page count: 293

Editor and Introduction: Janet Gezari

Book description (while a description is already in place on Goodreads, this comes from the back of the book of this specific edition—please note italics):
This volume constitutes the first major edition of Emily Brontë's complete poems to appear for half a century.

'A family in whom appears to run the instinct of song ... rising, in that of Ellis, into an inspiration,' wrote the Athenaeum, reviewing Poems (1846) by the 'three brothers' Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. Twenty-one of Emily Brontë's poems appeared in that volume, passionate songs of the spirit and of nature, and they were the only poems of hers to be published in her lifetime.

For this new edition Janet Gezari has arranged the poems as nearly as possible in chronological order of composition, printing the published texts of the 1846 poems but otherwise taking the most recent manuscript versions. She also provides a scholarly introduction and extensive textual and contextual annotations to the poems.


Thank you!

Thank you! I hate to be particular, but it looks like the final period didn't copy over—would you be able to fix that?
