This 1893 edition brings together poems by the three Brontë sisters, along with the so-called Cottage Poems, early verses linked to the family. It lets readers move between Charlotte's reflective writing, Anne's quiet and devout verse and Emily's stormy, visionary lyrics. Subjects include faith, grief, love, childhood memory and the Yorkshire landscape. The book reflects the Victorian interest in preserving the sisters' work after their deaths. It is a good single volume for readers who want a broad taste of Brontë poetry.
