IF YOU THINK THAT EMILY BRONTË IS «THE GREATEST FEMALE AUTHOR» (SIC), YOUR TASTE IN LITERATURE IS NULL, AND, MOST PROBABLY, ALSO, YOUR LITERARY PURVIEW IS ABYSMAL.

I suspected this based on what is known about their individual lives and dispositions and also how their works were received by the society they lived in. I am currently reading Wuthering Heights. It is my first Brontë novel that isn’t Charlotte. I’m really looking forward to it and wish to read Anne next.

Well if you do read Agnes Grey, you’ll notice that it’s a very neat version of Jane Eyre, structurally better but a bit lacking. Tenant of Wildfell Hall actually has a bit of an off-putting structure initially, but once it gets into the main, it pays off.
You’ll notice that Anne, being the youngest was firstly attracted to Charlotte’s style in the former and then clearly more Emily in the latter.
Ultimately, Emily was the genius. Hope you enjoy WH.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 5 23:19:21 2022 No.21346936 >>21346767 I’m sorry that you do not enjoy reading To the Lighthouse. To me, Virginia Woolf is the peak of all literature. I love playing William Basinski’s Disintegration Loops while reading Virginia Woolf.
