The Brontesaurus: An A–Z of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë (and Branwell)

Product Information

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. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. John Sutherland's quirky, informative, perceptive and amusing book on some of the stranger aspects of the Brontës' lives is based on sound scholarship and deep affection for their personal lives. Bramwell the somewhat forgotten Brontë is mentioned quite a bit in this book which I found interesting as I did not know that much about him.

However, this book showed me the good elements, like their love of animals and the little things in life. B. dass die Brontes, anders als im "Brontesaurus" behauptet, tatsächlich einmal Besuch von einem irischen Verwandten bekamen, nämlich von Patricks Bruder Hugh.

Always thought provoking, he does not stand on an academic high-horse, for example he is not afraid to tell the reader that although when Emily died the manuscript of the second novel she was believed to be writing was not found (it may have been destroyed by Charlotte) you can if you wish still read it, since a psychic has been in lengthy communication with Emily and written it at her dictation!I really liked how the book was laid out and that it was short snippets of information which were easy to digest and engaging. We also get an interesting alternative view of the character of Anne, judging from her insistence on going to Scarborough, where of course she died.

This short book by a authority in the field, is an accurate, witty, enthralling addition to the ever growing industry of Brontë literacy criticism. Please note that all our kits are created with genuine Decopatch products which means well defined quality papier mache models, papers that do not tear or bobble when glued ,and glue that gives a professional varnished finish. Charlotte I believe was not portrayed in a good light and yes I know that she could have destroyed a lot of her sisters’ works etc but none of this is proven.

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. John Sutherland is Lord Northcliffe Professor Emeritus at University College London and an eminent scholar in the field of Victorian fiction. 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.
