'Compelling' -- Spectator
A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS PICK
'A wonderful book' -- Guardian
The author of Wuthering Heights is brought back to life in this stormy biography set amongst the wild moors of Yorkshire.
Emily Jane Brontë was just 27 when she started writing the wayward and electric novel Wuthering Heights. Three years later, she was dead. Out of step with her own time and remembered as the strangest of the Brontë sisters, there's much that we don't know about her - most of her papers were destroyed after her death. But as Deborah Lutz explores in this, one of the first biographies of Emily in 20 years, the writing that has survived seethes with storm and strife and with the beautifully desolate landscape of Yorkshire.
Drawing on a vast quantity of unexplored archival materials, Deborah reconstructs the texture of Emily Brontë's days, bringing us closer to one of the greatest and fiercest writers we have, by showing us her creative process and her confidence in her strange art.
Featuring illuminating insights into her poems and private writings, This Dark Night takes us inside the world of Emily's irrepressible spirit and wild imagination.
