Product Description
Times Literary Supplement, June 1, 2007
'Absorbing..."Last Things" provides an example of what a
reinvigorated critical humanism might look like.'
Review
Janet Gezari's book has received well-deserved critical acclaim. (Debra San, Essays in Criticism )
the most sensitive, sympathetic, discriminating account of the work to date... powerful, persuasive (Beth Newman, Review of English Studies )
...a powerful, persuasive, often moving reading of poems, Brontë's poetry that reveals a subtle craftsmanship in the service of an unorthodox vision...Last Things gives not only devoted readers of Brontë (the usual audience for the poems), but all who care about the poetics of lyric, ways and reasons to read the poems with attention, interest and pleasure. (Beth Newman, The Review of English Studies )
Gezari, editor of Emily Jane Bronte: The Complete Poems, is an excellent guide to work, that Virginia Woolf thought would outlive Brontë's famous novel. Doubtless, the book is aimed at students and academics, but there is much here for the general reader. (The Book Depository )
Absorbing...[Gezari's] thoughtful and sustained engagement with Emily Brontë's poetry has nothing of the brittle 'argument' of much contemporary critical discourse. Last Things provides an example of what reinvigorated critical humanism might look like. (Joe Phelan, TLS )
A significant and important addition. (BronteBlog )

First Sentence
When I edited Emily Bronte's poems for the Penguin English Poets series, I was surprised to discover so many poems and poetical fragments that had the pure cry of genuine poetry, and then to see how little had been written about them. Read the first page
