About Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights:

"It is as if [Bronte] could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognisable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality. Hers, then, is the rarest of all powers. She could free life from its dependence on facts; with a few touches indicate the spirit of a face so that it needs no body; by speaking of the moor make the wind blow and the thunder roar." -Virginia Woolf

She has published four books, most recently The Bronte Cabinet: Three Lives in Nine Objects and Relics of Death in Victorian Literature and Culture.
