| Abstract
|
:
|
'The Brontës' is a topical exploration of the novels of the three Brontë sisters in relation to the age in which they lived, and in modern contexts such as film and television. The book traces the origins of novels such as 'Jane Eyre' and 'Wuthering Heights' and examines the 20th century's remaking of the novels in film and TV.
