Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt den Versuch einer wissenschaftlich-kritischen Studie über Leben und Werk von Lev L'vovič Kobylinskij-Éllis (1879-1947) dar, um dadurch eine Lücke in der Erforschung des russischen Symbolismus zu schließen. Die vorliegende Studie soll folgende Fragen beantworten: Ist Éllis zu recht in Vergessenheit geraten? Hat er durch sein Werk einen Beitrag zum russischen Symbolismus geleistet? War sein Werk damals von Bedeutung? Ist es heute lediglich als Zeitzeugnis von Interesse oder auch als Selbstzeugnis von Belang? Enthalten die Arbeiten seiner zweiten Schaffensperiode gewichtige, untersuchenswerte Innovationen?

Readers and critics have been intrigued - and disturbed - by the characters of Wuthering Heights since its publication in 1847. Heathcliff and Catherine, the tormented and enigmatic lovers at the centre of the novel, have justifiably been the focus of critical attention. Yet the novel is peopled with a large cast of idiosyncratic characters, each of whom plays a significant role in the plot. This novel, with its references to physiognomy and monomania, its interest in dreams as revelations of the unconscious mind, and its recognition of the importance of origins in character-formation, reflects important developments in the conception of character and psychology in the nineteenth century.

Bringing an unjustifiably marginalized poet out of the shadows, this book presents Emily Brontë's poetry in a way that enables readers, even those who shy away from poetry, to appreciate her work. She is widely known as a novelist, but she was first and equally a poet. Her poems are varied, lyrical, intriguing, and innovative, yet they are not well known. Unlike any other collection of Brontë's poetry, this volume arranges selected poems by thematic topic: nature, mutability, love, death, captivity and freedom, hope and despair, imagination, and spirituality.
