A piece of juvenilia-based scholar publication: The Textual Presence of Mary Shelley’s The Last Man in the Juvenilia of the Brontë Siblings  Julie Elizabeth Young Literary Imagination,  https://doi.org/10.1093/litimag/imad013 Published: 18 May 2023   This article proposes that Charlotte (1816–1855), Branwell (1817–1848), Emily (1818–1848), and Anne Brontë (1820–1849) were more strongly engaged with the textual Mary Shelley (1797–1851) than has hitherto been critically recognized. The young Brontës, I suggest, reveal in their juvenilia an appropriation of Mary Shelley’s publis ..read more

According to Russh, Wuthering Heights is one of the books to read 'if the Succession finale left you feeling bereft'. Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte Wuthering Heights has a reputation for being kind of miserable and like the "poison" Kendall speaks of in Succession season four, episode eight, that misery drips through. Each generation to arrive after Cathy and Heathcliff's torrid love affair is subjected to the same battery and bruising that follows Logan's own reign of terror.
