Summary This box set contains all seven complete novels by the Brontë sisters. It includes classic romances like Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, and Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë. Get them all together in this comprehensive box set. Titles In This Set : 1. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë 2. Shirley by Charlotte Brontë 3. Villette by Charlotte Brontë 4. The Professor by Charlotte Brontë 5. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë 6. Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë 7. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë Description : The Tenant of Wildfell Hall Anne Brontë's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was the second and final novel by the author. It was a shocking narrative for the times and was an instant success. The story bravely explores the position of women, marital abuse and feminism in Victorian society. Written as a series of letters, the tale revolves around the mysterious new resident of Wildfell Hall; the subject of mean gossip and slander in the neighbourhood. But she is the one in the eyes of Gilbert Markham, a young local farmer. Complicated and dire expositions and events force the question, is his love destined to suffer and fail? Agnes Grey Anne Brontë's remarkable debut novel, Agnes Grey, is an exposition of the author's experiences as a governess. The novel dramatises the difficulties of an educated, unmarried and penniless woman looking for work in nineteenth century English society. The position of a governess was much coveted as a respectable career path. However, life in that situation could offer up as much punishment as privilege. Working for disparaging, unpleasant and inconsiderate households was a pitfall in this profession. Even in matters of the heart, it was often a drudgery. How will Agnes Grey overcome the unrepentant mischief wrought by an attractive student who does not hesitate to stake her claim as a rival in love?. Wuthering Heights Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights is set in the heart of the dark moors and chronicles the star-crossed love between Heathcliff and Catherine. Theirs is not a wistful romance - the love between these two ill-fated people is obsessive and cruel, bordering on violent. But love it is, and it extends beyond the mortal constraints of life and death. Their fate irrevocably linked, Heathcliff and Cathy's doomed affair will affect not only their own lives, but also the lives of those around them - continuing to haunt the generations that follow. At once a story of desire and vengeance, Wulhering Heights explores the thin line that separates pain and pleasure, passion and obsession. The Professor Charlotte Brontë's The Professor, her first completed book, was posthumously published in 1857. We follow William Crimsworth in his search for the most suitable profession and his eventual discovery of that in which he naturally excels. His trials and encounters through the classrooms, and his search for the woman of his dreams, form an absorbing and revealing novel. Villette Set in the...

From cult webcomic to Kickstarter success story, and now a hit Netflix series! Grab the first four volumes of Heartstopper by Alice Oseman and get caught up in this heartwarming tale of boy meets boy. The Heartstopper books by Alice Oseman are a young adult LGBTQ+ series that captivates and resonates with readers of all ages. The series consists of four volumes and follows the blossoming relationship between two high school students, Charlie and Nick. Volume 1 begins with Charlie, a popular and talented rugby player, and Nick, a quiet and reserved student, both attending a prestigious private school in England. Despite their vastly different personalities and social standings, Charlie and Nick form an unexpected bond. Over the course of the book, we see their friendship develop into something more as they navigate their feelings for each other in a world where being openly gay is still a challenge. In volume 2, Charlie and Nick’s relationship is put to the test as they face the difficulties that come with being in a same-sex relationship. This includes facing judgment and prejudice from their peers and families, as well as the pressure to conform to societal norms. Despite these obstacles, the two young men continue to support and encourage each other as they navigate the complexities of their relationship. Volume 3 delves deeper into Charlie and Nick’s relationship as they prepare to attend university. This volume focuses on their growth as individuals and how their relationship evolves as they experience new and exciting opportunities. They also face new challenges and confront the difficult truths about themselves and their relationship. Through it all, Charlie and Nick remain committed to each other, demonstrating the strength and resilience of their love. Finally, in volume 4, Charlie and Nick’s relationship reaches new heights as they prepare to start the next chapter of their lives together. This final volume is a testament to the power of love and the importance of self-discovery and acceptance. Through their journey, Charlie and Nick learn to appreciate and accept themselves for who they are and how their relationship has helped them become the people they were meant to be. One of the standout elements of the Heartstopper books is the representation of LGBTQ+ relationships. The series is a refreshing and authentic portrayal of same-sex love, highlighting the difficulties and triumphs that come with it. The story offers a much-needed representation of LGBTQ+ relationships in young adult literature and serves as a source of comfort and encouragement for those who may not have seen themselves represented in this way before.
