Customer Reviews

A focussed, critical look at the Bronte sisters

This slender volume contains a number of interesting critical articles on the Brontes and some analysis of influences on their writing. Some comparisons are made between the Brontes themselves as well as other writers. The book includes a useful bibliography, a timeline and lists some Bronte-related websites. Recommended for those who want to know more about the life, times and influences behind the Brontes without immersing themselves in the glorious detail that the biographies provide. Recommended.
