Stolz und Vorurteil (Pride and Prejudice) ist der bekannteste Roman der britischen Schriftstellerin Jane Austen. Stolz und Vorurteil ist ein Entwicklungsroman, in dem die beiden Hauptfiguren Elizabeth Bennet und Fitzwilliam Darcy durch die Überwindung einiger Krisen reifen müssen, um sich in neuer Bescheidenheit und Einsicht in ihre Fehler für eine gemeinsame Zukunft zu finden. Allerdings ist dieses Werk der früh verstorbenen Schriftstellerin nicht nur als Liebesroman zu verstehen, sondern auch als zeitgenössische Gesellschaftsstudie. Sturmhöhe (Wuthering Heights) ist ein Roman der englischen Schriftstellerin Emily Brontë. Sturmhöhe gilt heute als ein Klassiker der britischen Romanliteratur des 19. Jahrhunderts.

THREE ROMANTIC POETS: EMILY BRONTE, JOHN KEATS, PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEYSELECTED POEMSEdited and introduced by L.M. Poole Three great Romantics poets are featured in this anthology - Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats and Emily Bronte. The book includes all of their famous poems. Emily Bronte as a poet is still neglected today. Her novel Wuthering Heights, however, remains one of the great English novels. It continues to sell, continues to be adapted for radio, theatre, film and television, continues to inspire readers and be cited by critics. The wind whistling through the heather in Winter is indeed the atmosphere of Wuthering Heights, and also of Bronte's poetry. In poem after poem we find loving evocations of the moors: we hear of 'the breezy moor' (in "The starry night shall tidings bring"), the 'flowerless moors' (in "How still, how happy! Those are words"), and of 'the moors where the linnet was trilling/ Its song on the old granite stone' (in "Loud without the wind was roaring", the most powerful of Bronte's moor-poems). John Keats is one of the few British poets who is truly ecstatic and wild. Despite the overly-ornate language, the often awkward phrases ('made sweet moan' in 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci'), despite the Romantic indulgences and the sometimes chauvinist views, the often over-simplification of natural and human processes and experiences, and despite the tendency to gush and exaggerate, Keats is one of the few poets who write in English who is truly furious and shamanic. This book gathers the most potent passages from John Keats together, including the famous 'Odes', the sonnets, the luxuriously sensuous 'Eve of St Agnes', the mysterious and atmospheric 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci', and extracts from 'Lamia', Endymion and Hyperion. Percy Shelley is one of the major British poets, seen by many people as the breathless, hyper-lyrical, angelic yet anarchic poet of the Romantic era, out-doing Lord Byron and John Keats in terms of sheer brilliance. His personality, as with Keats and Byron, is a crucial component in the Shelley legend. Shelley has a cult built up around him. The book includes a selection of Shelley's odes, hymns and paeans of England's breathless, angelic, anarchic poet. Famous poems, such as 'Ode to the West Wind' and 'The Cloud', are set beside extracts from Prometheus Unbound and Epipsychidion. With an introduction and bibliography for each poet. Plus a portrait gallery for each poet. www.crmoon.com.
This edition of Emily Bronte's poems contains a substantial amount of extra material, including notes, pictures and a section on Bronte's life and works.
Emily Bronte's classic is set on the bleak Yorkshire moors, where the drama of Catherine and Heathcliff, Heathcliff's cruel revenge against Edgar and Isabella Linton, and the promise of redemption through the next generation, is enacted.
The Classics Exposed...The romantic story of the destruction caused by the frustrated love of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, set against the moors of England, creates a rare blend of violence, beauty and erotic love.Heathcliff, an orphan, is raised by Mr Earnshaw as one of his own children. Hindley despises him but wild Cathy becomes his constant companion, and he falls deeply in love with her, discovering that he can tame her unruly nature. Their tumultuous but passionate romance is threatened by the Lintons, who are determined to civilise Cathy. She endeavours to be a lady when they are present, but is as wild as ever when they are not-and remains forever untameable by anyone other than her lover, Heathcliff.When she will not marry him, Heathcliff''s terrible vengeance ruins them all-but still his and Cathy''s love will not die...A story of doomed love and revenge with a brilliant new introduction of passion fulfilled.
The Brontës sisters, Charlotte (1816-55), Emily (1818-48), and Anne (1820-49), achieved literary renown for their novels which were passionate and original. Contained in this volume are the famous (or complete) novels - Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Jane Eyre.
The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.
