The consequences predicted have, of course, overtaken us: our book is found to be a drug no man needs it or heeds it.

Sir,- My relatives, Ellis and Acton Bell, and myself, heedless of the repeated warnings of various respectable publishers, have committed the rash act of printing a volume of poems. Only two copies were sold, as we learn from a letter that Currer Bell sent to certain eminent contemporaries-to Tennyson, to Lockhart, to De Quincey, and to others. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë here courted public favour for the first time. There is no incident in the profoundly pathetic story of the Brontës better known than that of the publication of the poems by the three sisters through the firm of Aylott and Jones of Paternoster Row. Although it cannot be pretended that any one of these is equal to 'The Old Stoic,' that gave so much distinction to the first volume, or to the 'Last Lines,' that were the unforgettable glory of the second, it will scarcely be disputed that these newly printed verses are of profound interest. No less than one hundred and thirty-eight additional poems are included in the present volume. These thirty-nine poems have been reprinted many times, usually at the end of The Professor. There were twenty-two poems in the little volume entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, which was the first venture of the three Miss Brontës, and there were yet another seventeen in the Posthumous Poems that Charlotte Brontë printed after Emily's death. Read more 'The blue bell is the sweetest flower' evoke the wild beauties of nature she observed on the Yorkshire moors, while also examining the state of her psyche.The admirer of Emily Brontë and her work has known her poetry up to the present through only some thirty-nine poems. And poems such as 'Redbreast early in the morning' and. Other visionary works, including 'Remembrance' and 'No coward soul is mine', boldly confront mortality and anticipate life after death. Many poems describe the mythic country of Gondal and its citizens that she imagined with Anne, and remain the only surviving record of their joint creation. Only twenty-one of her poems were published during her lifetime - this volume contains those and all others attributed to her. The poems of Emily Jane Brontë are passionate and powerful works that convey the vitality of the human spirit and of the natural world.
