The Brontësaurus: An A-Z of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë (and Branwell)

by John Sutherland

Book Overview

Did Charlotte Bront take opium? Did the Reverend Bront carry a loaded pistol? What, precisely, does 'wuthering' mean?

Distinguished literary critic John Sutherland takes an idiosyncratic look at the world of the Bront s, from the bumps on Charlotte's head to the nefarious origins of Mr Rochester's fortune, by way of astral telephony, letterwriting dogs, an exploding peat bog, and much, much more.

Also features 'Jane Eyre abbreviated'...
