Muriel Spark

Opis

First published in 1993, this book brings together Muriel Spark s writings on the Bronte sisters, including a selection of their letters and a selection of Emily Bronte s poems. Perceptively but unsentimentally, Spark considers the Brontes lives and works, including their generally disastrous attempts at teaching, and reflects on her own fascination, as a writer and a reader, with Emily Bronte and with the immortal Wuthering Heights and its nightmare hero. This edition features a new foreword by Boyd Tonkin, the literary editor at the Independent."
