Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cavalorn" data-source="post: 2801208" data-attributes="member: 15377">I don't believe there's anything specifically on Gondal, because apparently most of the material is lost:'Nothing of the Gondal history remains except Emily's poems, the references in the journal fragments by Anne and Emily, the birthday papers of 1841 and 1845, and Anne's list of the names of characters and locations.'Most biographers seem more interested in Gondal as a creative influence on Emily's work, and the context for many of her poems, rather than looking at it as a topic of study in itself.  Some of her best known poems, such as The Visionary, are actually about Gondal characters. Charlotte Bronte removed the Gondalness before the poems were published, to make them more generic.</blockquote>
