Böcker av Edward Chitham

In this landmark new biography the leading critic Edward Chitham offers a contemporary account of the life and work of the English novelist and poet Anne Brontë (1820-49), the youngest member of the Brontë literary family.

Title on spine: Brontee facts & Brontee problems.

This book provides a rounded account of the history of Dudley, starting before the Norman Conquest. It traces the development of industry in the town, and shows how the lack of utilities, including water, hampered the nineteenth-century town and forced a section of the population into desperate poverty.

This new book on the Brontes concentrates on the way in which the literary interests and expressions of Charlotte and Emily were built up. It makes use of recent research into background and reading matter to investigate the development of the authors' poetry and novels.
