Returning to prose the three sisters released a novel each in the year following Charlotte's Jane Eyre Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's Agnes Grey all three of them receiving great critical attention but only Charlotte's Jane Eyre was an instant commercial success. Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's Agnes Gray were deemed masterpieces of literature only after their death and the literary works of the three sisters were eventually accepted into the canon of great English literature.<br /> <br /> Bindings with very light wear volume five with small coffee stain on a few pages at foredge.
