The World Within: A Novel of Emily Bronte. Arthur A.

ON THIS DAY 1848: Emily Bronte, English novelist who wrote Wuthering Heights, died aged 30 from tuberculosis.

Bell also quoted Emily Bronte in the fact that proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves, adding that who would have believed that England thinking they were too good would ever have proved a problem for them.

Emily Bronte's only novel, Wuthering Heights contains many allusions to God and the religious influences that surrounded much of Bronte's life.

Believed to be painted by 19th century English artist Sir Edwin Landseer, it will be included in a two-day fine art and antiques sale later this month at JP Humbert Auctioneers in Northamptonshire, and follows the auction house's sale of a portrait of Emily Bronte for pounds 4,600 and another of the reclusive writer for pounds 23,836 in December.

So you can say you're enjoying an Emily Bronte while really engrossed in The Plumber's Pectorals (which actually sounds like quite a good read).

All the great names one would expect to be included are: Austen, Scott, Thackeray, Trollope, Charlotte and Emily Bronte, Eliot, Dickens, and ending with Waugh, Graham Greene and Golding.

While political opponents have heaped ridicule upon the Prime Minister, some even suggesting that one of the greatest figures in British literary history was little more than a violent misogynist, it is instructive to recall Emily Bronte's own description of the 19-year-old Heathcliff: "A half-civilised ferocity lurked yet in the depressed brows and eyes full of black fire, but it was subdued; and his manner was even dignified: quite divested of roughness, though stern for grace."
