Charlotte and Emily Bronte: Literary Lives (Literary Lives)

Rating:
Summary: a classic !
Review: I wonder both how it is that I'm the first to review it and why it has gone out of print! Have we got our senses? This is, by far, the best SHORT "literary live" ever written. A classic in the sense that, being easy to read, every word is important and fits its unique place: you can only add or detract one word off this little marvel so much for the worse. It links beautifully what we KNOW about the life of Emily and Charlotte with their lasting work. Many Brontë students will find that this is enough for them. If not, there is always CHITHAM and GERIN full-scale biographies (and I'm thinking mostly about Emily).
