Selections include Charlotte's "e;Presentiment,"e; "e;Passion,"e; two poems on the deaths of her sisters, and six more. There are twenty-three poems by Emily (considered the best poet of the three), including "e;Faith and Despondency"e; and "e;No Coward Soul Is Mine."e; The works of all three sisters share the qualities of intelligence, awareness, and heartfelt emotion, expressed in simple, highly readable verse. Gathered in this handy, inexpensive collection, the poems represent a superb introduction to a lesser-known aspect of the Brontës' literary art.
