[edit] Wuthering Heights
I don't understand the statement that Wuthering Heights was two parts of a three part novel, the last part being Agnes Gray. Agnes Gray was written by Anne Bronte, not Emily Bronte, so needless to say, this is a very confusing statement.
Just to clarify: Wuthering Heights was published with Agnes Grey (even though they are by two of the sisters, not one) in a 3 volume set by Thomas Cautley Newby in 1847. I presume the contributer means that Agnes Grey occupied only the last of the 3 volumes, whilst WH occupied the first 2 vols. I've changed the word 'part' for 'volume' and 'book' for 'set' and added that AG was by Anne. Is that a bit clearer?
[edit] Dave the Monkey
This 'Dave the Monkey' isn't true, is it? "Her favorite stuffed toy, Dave the Monkey, was interred with her, but was subsequently removed and placed in the Haworth Parsonage museum." QueenStupid 03:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- I greatly doubt a victorian child would have named a toy 'Dave'. It's a rather modern name. MichaelKeefe 09:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Original publications
Just curious-This article says Charlotte edited Wuthering Heights and then published it as a stand-alone novel. Does anyone know how extensively she edited, and can the original publications be found anywhere? J'aimeOlivier 18:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rabid dog story
I once read a foreword that described Emily Bronte's strength. The words "stoic" and "defiant" were in there. It described an incident in which she'd been bitten by a rabid dog and cauterized the wound herself. No one knew until someone saw the scars. Maybe we can mention this trait in her bio? I don't have the book anymore and can't find a good source on the net. 24.211.249.43 05:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
