About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell (version 2) by Anne Brontë; Charlotte Brontë; Emily Brontë. Read in English by Libby Gohn; Elizabeth Klett; Drew Johnson The Bronte sisters, most famous for their novels, began their career with a slim volume of poetry, published under pseudonyms. It only sold two volumes, but inspired much interest in the identities of the unknown poets. This is a recording of the more successful 1850 edition, which includes additional poems by Emily and Anne which Charlotte collected after their deaths. (Summary by Libby Gohn)
