Cette œuvre magistrale d'Emily Brontë, publiée en 1847 un an avant sa mort sous le pseudonyme masculin d'Ellis Bell, occupe une place à part dans la littérature anglaise du XIXème siècle.

Though of special interest for lovers and their special lover’s day of St. Valentine, it is an amusing and sometimes surprising collection.
