Abstract

The major objective of this paper is to explore and analyse the selected poems of Victorian poetess and Novelist, Emily Bronte (1818-1848) and attempts to explore the multilayered Postmodernist interpretations that would provide a better understanding to the reader while analysing Emily Bronte’s poetry. Emily Bronte’s poetry focuses on wilderness, compassion, love, repulsion towards social values and traditions, deplorable status of women in rigid Victorian society and her intense sense of isolation. The major objective of this research is to examine the deep thematic structures based on her internal feelings and agony. The theory of Postmodernism has been incorporated in this paper to analyse the selected poems of Emily Bronte. Through different Postmodernist characteristics, this paper aims to explore a strong and intensive sense of misery, unhappiness, psychological revolt, and a passionate nature in Emily Bronte’s poetry.
