“Though Earth and moon were gone, And suns and universes ceased to be, And Thou wert left alone, Every Existence would exist in Thee.” From the transcendent beauty of nature observed on the Yorkshire moors to fierce and forceful confrontations of mortality, Emily Brontë’s poems are powerful and passionate works that eloquently elaborate upon her sister Charlotte’s description of her as ""a solitude-loving raven, no gentle dove”. While only twenty-one of Emily Brontë’s poems were published in her lifetime, her poetic oeuvre is rich and varied, and not only includes visionary poems such as ‘No Coward Soul Is Mine’ and ‘Remembrance’, but also features the poems that describe the imagined realm of Gondal and its inhabitants, which she created with her sister Anne.

Since its debut in 1847 Britain, Cumbres borrascosas became one of the greatest narrative works from the last century. It describes a passionate, violent, and tumultuous world that explores the boundaries of rigid Victorian morality. It remains a topic of scholarly debate and continues to be adapted and translated across the globe.En 1847 aparece en Gran BretaÑa Cumbres Borrascosas. En su momento, fue sÓlo una novela mÁs de las muchas que se publicaban en esa Época de auge del gÉnero y cuyo recibimiento por parte de la crÍtica contemporÁnea no resultÓ, ni siquiera remotamente, favorable. Sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo y las sucesivas lecturas, se la empezÓ a considerar como una de las grandes obras narrativas de los Últimos siglos. FuncionÓ –y, de hecho, continÚa haciÉndolo– como una suerte de usina para mÚltiples adaptaciones a lenguajes, medios y soportes diversos. Cumbres Borrascosas no es una novela fÁcil o complaciente. En ella, la autora crea y describe un mundo apasionado y violento, tumultuoso y desbocado en pos de abordar cuestiones brutales, descarnadas y hasta censuradas por las convenciones que regÍan a la famosa y por demÁs rÍgida moral victoriana. Todo ello, lo hace retratando a un protagonista que se aleja bastante de los cÁnones valorados por la sociedad britÁnica del siglo XIX, y a travÉs de una narraciÓn que se caracteriza por un tratamiento seco y escueto del lenguaje.

Cims borrascosos, una de les grans novelles del segle XIX anglès, narra la història d'amor tèrbola i apassionada entre Heathcliff i Catherine. Amargat i pertorbat per un passat que no és capaç d'oblidar, Heathcliff malviu per la seva set de venjança i provoca la infelicitat de tots els que l'envolten. L'obra presenta, en un ambient misteriós i tràgic, l'esclat d'una passió violenta, però buida de sensualitat. El clima de puritanisme i la ingenuïtat en la visió d'alguns personatges fan encara més remarcable la intelligent concepció de la narració, efectiva i potent, que ha fet que sigui considerada una de les millors novelles de tots els temps.
