Description
The literary output of the Bronte sisters was small, but their novels remain immensely popular more than 150 years after their deaths.
Each sister wrote a novel that challenged the ideas of the day on what was fit to print: Charlotte's Jane Eyre by examining the interior life of a young girl; Emily's Wuthering Heights by overturning the conventions of the novel, even while making use of traditional literary forms; Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by depicting a husband's alcoholism and debauchery.
This guide, which roots the writers' work in their unusual upbringing and describes and challenges the so-called Bronte myth, aims to provide both first-time readers and long-time Bronte enthusiasts with a deeper understanding of their work and the reasons it continues to engross readers today.
