This short book by a authority in the field, is an accurate, witty, enthralling addition to the ever growing industry of Brontë literacy criticism. Also features 'Jane Eyre abbreviated' by John Crace, author of the Guardian's 'Digested Reads' column - read Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece in five minutes!

Zudem bedient sich Sutherland überwiegend aus aktuelleren Quellen, kaut nur wenig "altes Zeug" nach, das heute als fragwürdig gilt, und wenn, dann mit einem ironischen Unterton. Did Charlotte Bronte take opium Did the Reverend Bronte carry a loaded pistol What, precisely, does 'wuthering' mean Distinguished literary critic John Sutherland explores these questions and more to reveal the complete world of the Brontes. John Sutherland is known for his unorthodox treatment of classical literature, and what he has to say about any nineteenth century novel is always well worth reading.If you’d like to file an allegation of infringement, you’ll need to follow the process described in our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.

Da die vielen Schnipsel der Bronte-Hinterlassenschaft immer noch durchforstet und mühsam gelesen werden (ein Projekt der Bronte-Society), kamen gerade in den letzten zehn Jahre viele interessante Dinge zu Tage, auch manchmal kleine Einzelheiten aus dem Alltag, die Sutherland immer mal wieder einstreut, auch um die Familie Bronte zu entmystifizieren. Kein "Lexikon", auch wenn der Titel dies andeutet, sondern eher eine Sammlung kleiner Essays zum Thema "Leben und Werke der Brontes".

Deshalb ist es besonders schade, dass Sutherland so ein paar kleine Dinge doch anscheinend noch nicht recherchiert hat, z.Neuware -Did Charlotte Brontë take opium Did the Reverend Brontë carry a loaded pistol What, precisely, does 'wuthering' mean Distinguished literary critic John Sutherland takes an idiosyncratic look at the world of the Brontës, from the bumps on Charlotte's head to the nefarious origins of Mr Rochester's fortune, by way of astral telephony, letterwriting dogs, an exploding peat bog, and much, much more.
