Charlotte Brontë: The Imagination in History

by Heather Glen

This stimulating study considers how Charlotte Brontë's writings engage with a whole range of issues in their time. Through a series of new readings of ostensibly well-known texts, Heather Glen reveals a Charlotte Brontë more alert to her historical moment and far more aesthetically sophisticated than she has usually been taken to be.
