English | July 1, 2018 | ISBN: 0198819951 | True EPUB | 640 pages | 6.1 MB
This special edition of The Oxford Companion to the Brontes commemorates the bicentenary of Emily Bronte’s birth in July 1818 and provides comprehensive and detailed information about the lives, works, and reputations of the Brontes – the three sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, their father, and their brother Branwell.
Expanded entries surveying the Brontes’ lives and works are supplemented by entries on friends and acquaintances, pets, literary and political heroes; on the places they knew and the places they imagined; on their letters, drawings and paintings; on historical events such as Chartism, the Peterloo Massacre, and the Ashantee Wars; on exploration, slavery, and religion. Selected entries on the characters and places in the Bronte juvenilia provide a glimpse into their early imaginative worlds, and entries on film, ballet, and musicals indicate the extent to which their works have inspired others. A new foreword to the text has been also penned by Clare Harman, award-winning writer and literary critic, and recent biographer of Charlotte Bronte.
This is a unique and authoritative reference book for the research student and the general reader. The A-Z format, extensive cross-referencing, classified contents, chronologies, illustrations, and maps, both facilitate quick reference and encourage further exploration. This Companion is not only invaluable for quick searches, but a delight to browse, and an inspiration to further reading.
