Oxford Companion to the Brontes, Hardcover by Alexander, Christine; Smith, Margaret; Harman, Claire (INT), ISBN 0198819951, ISBN-13 9780198819950, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK The Oxford Companion to the Brontèes' provides both comprehensive and detailed information about the lives, works, and reputations of the Brontèes - the three sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, and their father and brother Branwell - all of whom were published writers. It is the first time so much information about the family has been gathered together in an A-Z referenc. The story of the Brontèes has become the stuff of myth: three women living on the wild Yorkshire moors, writing works of weird and wonderful genius. Charlotte Brontèe claimed that her sister Emily's novel Wuthering Heights was 'hewn in a wild workshop'. Inspired by a deep love of nature and an intensely private imaginative world it certainly was, but Emily's novel, like those of her sisters, is engaged with 19th-century issues and debates.
