Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre have remained continuously popular ever since their 1847 publication. Though their lives were tragically short, Charlotte and Emily Bronte made significant contributions to the history of the novel as a respected literary form. This Student Companion offers an absorbing biographical account of the Bronte sisters' upbringing, tracing the familial and personal influences that shaped their intellectual lives. A literary heritage chapter also helps students grasp the importance of the sisters' literary accomplishments. A thorough, clear critical analysis is provided for all of Charlotte and Emily's novels, including sections on plot, character development, thematic issues, literary devices and craft, and the historical/social-cultural context of each work. |
