Produktinformationen "Last Things"
At present, Emily Bront"e's poetry is more frequently celebrated than read. Ironically, the very uniqueness of her poems has made them less interesting to current feminist critics than other poems written by Victorian women. Last Things seeks to reinstate Emily Bront"e's poems at the heart ofRomantic and Victorian concerns while at the same time underlining their enduring relevance for readers today. It presents the poems as the achievement of a powerfully independent mind responding to her own inner experience of the world and seeking always an abrogation of human limits compatiblewith a stern morality. It develops Georges Batille's insight that it doesn't matter whether Bront"e had a mystical experience because she "reached the very essence of such an experience." Although the book does not discuss all of Bront"e's poems, it seeks to be comprehensive by undertaking an analysisof individual poems, the progress she made from the beginning of her career as a poet to its end, her poetical fragments and her writing practice, and her motives for writing poetry. For admirers of Wuthering Heights, Last Things will bring the concerns and methods of the novel into sharper focus byrelating them to the poems.
