Compare and contrast Anne’s connection with German philosophy with Emily’s.
Anne didn't study philosophy but was more didactic and religious in her writing than Emily, who provided no moral imperative. Anne was raised a Calvinist but her writing urged moral redemption, forgiveness and charity via self-determination and faith in God. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is an example of her belief that people can and should grow personally and spiritually, through Christ's example. Emily's writing posits that God is within individuals and that heaven is on earth, which is more representative of the German Romantic tradition.
