The Brontes

The Bronte sisters, who occupy such an important place in English literature, continue to fascinate us - the passionate intensity of Emily's Wuthering Heights and her poetry, the blend of romance and realism in Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Villette, the domestic drama of Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. The book's photographs, some of them very rare, illustrate every aspect of the Brontes' lives, family, surroundings and works.
