Description
A BRONTE ENCYCLOPEDIA "This lively, absorbing, meticulously researched compendium is a rich resource both for the general reader and for the specialist Bronte scholar. It contains much to enlighten and surprise even those who think they know the Brontes well."
Heather Glen, University of Cambridge
"Aficionados of all things Bronte must have this encyclopedia on their desks. Even those with just a passing interest in Bronte 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 Brontes visited, people they knew; in short, everything."
