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. Phyllis Bentley was born and lived until her death in Halifax, eight miles from Haworth, and has drawn on a lifetime’s knowledge for this biography. “Tantalizes the uninitiated to delve more deeply into the.. .writings of the Brontes.” (PublishersWeekly)
