Remembrance
Emily Brontë
1846
Introduction
Remembrance
is an elegiac poem written by British author Emily Brontë. In some editions (and on some websites), the poem's title is its first line. Emily was one of three Brontë sisters, whose poetry and fiction continue to be read and admired. Her older sister, Charlotte, was the author of several novels, including Jane Eyre, Shirley, and Villette. Their younger sister, Anne, published two novels, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and Emily is best known as the author of a single classic novel, Wuthering Heights. All three sisters wrote poetry as well.
Emily's poetry came to light only after Charlotte accidentally stumbled across some notebooks containing her sister's poems. At Charlotte's urging, the three sisters gathered a collection of their poems and published it at their own expense in 1846 under the title Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell (with the initials C, E, A, and B corresponding to Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë.) Among the poems was Remembrance,
which Emily had dated March 3, 1845. Only two copies of the book were sold, although another publisher bought the unsold copies, rebound them, and offered them for sale in 1848. The odd pen names were chosen deliberately because they leave ambiguous the gender of the authors at a time when books written by men were far more likely to be accepted in the literary marketplace. The ruse was successful insofar as early reviewers referred to the authors as men.
The roots of Remembrance
date back to the sisters' childhood in the 1820s, when they, along with their brother, Branwell, began to construct an imaginary world called the Glasstown Confederacy, which was populated by toy soldiers their father had given Branwell. Emily and Anne, however, were the youngest of the four siblings, so they were often relegated to minor roles in the fantasy. Accordingly, they staged a rebellion and created their own fantasy world called Gondal, which consisted of two Pacific islands. The imaginary world about which they would write
