Edizione: first easton press edition. a handsome edition with illustrations by barnett freedman.<br> a prize title of english literature-this was bronte's only novel, and it was unconventional and 'disagreeable' to contemporary reviewers who tended to dwell on its morbid and painful aspects. charlotte bronte, in a preface to the 1850 edition, felt compelled to write an apology for the work's intensity. but early neglect was overtaken by 'a general recognition of the mastery of an extremely complex structure, acute evocation of place, poetic grandeur of vision, and highly original handling of gothic and romantic elements inherited from lesser works.'
