Book Overview
"This lively, absorbing, meticulously researched compendium is a rich resource both for the general reader and for the specialist Bront? scholar. It contains much to enlighten and surprise even those who think they know the Bront?s well."
Heather Glen, University of Cambridge
"Aficionados of all things Bront? must have this encyclopedia on their desks. Even those with just a passing interest in Bront? or literary research can become trapped in this book for hours. Looking up one entry leads to looking up another, and then another. This book has references to the important and the arcane and the obscure, references to places the Bront?s visited, people they knew; in short, everything."
