Build an essential library in one fell swoop

I adore Jane Eyre more than any other novel in English. And Wuthering Heights is unbelievably original; the passion of Heathcliff and Cathy rages and destroys two generations --the novel's doubled structure is quite fantastic.I am certain Jane Austen would have cocked an eyebrow at being included along with the violently passionate Brontes; they had little in common and did not admire each other's work. Yet understanding the fiction of their time requires you read both the Brontes and Austen. Finally, the highly original, almost haiku-like poems of Emily Dickenson complete this volume. What's the connection between all these works other than that they were authored by women? Each of these women blazed new trails in literature and each created work of such import that it must be read by anyone who wants to understand English literature.
