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