This volume brings together the ideas of Bronte scholars to examine the many layers of Anne Bronte's work. The essays represent a diversity of theoretical and critical approaches, a factor which speaks to the richness of Bronte's texts. While many of the essays place Bronte's writings in the context of her life and make comparisons to the more famous works of her sisters, they also recognize that her novels can and should stand alone. They demonstrate that Bronte's narrative methods, her social criticism, and her religious convictions are individually worthy of study. Understood together, they reveal that the literary accomplishments of Anne Bronte make her an artist in her own right.
