Bronte Sisters - Hardback

The Bronte sisters have received an enormous amount of critical attention, given their short lives and relatively slender literary production. As a group and individually the Brontes' works resist being swept away by any one critical approach. They defied conventional ideas of the novel genre and have always made it difficult for critics to categorize them. The aim of these volumes is to emphasize both the diversity and difficulty of critical approaches to the works. This set includes: Volume I: Recollections, Obituaries, General Nineteenth-Century Studies, Writers on the Brontes Volume II: Assessments of Juvenilia, poetry, Agnes Grey and the Tenant of Wilfell Hall. Volume III: Assessments of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. Volume IV: Assessments of Shirley, Vilette, and The Professor; Critical Essays on the Brontes; Twentieth-Century Comparative Studies.
