The Brontes
In this biographical and critical appraisal Peter Davies seeks to dispel the clutter that surrounds Bronte studies, focusing instead on the artistic autonomy of each of the sisters. This approach sees Charlotte, Emily and Anne not merely as products of their Haworth background, but as individuals in control of their creativity. The novels of Anne are, in particular, given more serious attention than ever before, while the claims often made on behalf of Emily's poetry are rigorously tested.
