Annotation
The Bronte sisters, woh occupy such an impor-
tant place in English literature, continue to fascinate us - the passionate intensity of Emily´s Wuthering Heights and her poetry, the blend of romance and realism in Charlotte´s Jane Eyre and Villette, the domestic drama of Anne´s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. The book´s photographs, some of them very rare, illustrate every aspect of the Brontes´ lives, family, surroundings and works. Dr.Bentley was born and lived until her death in Halifax, eight miles from Haworth, and has drawn on a lifetime´s knowledge for this bio-
graphy. Phyllis Bentley is the ideal narrator because she knows the suject probably better than anyone. It is an achievement that a theme so deeply felt should be so economically stated.
