5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Research, October 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Brontes (Bloom's Major Novelists) (Library Binding)

I thought that Bloom's The Brontes was a great book to use when researching the Brontes, especially Charlotte. For my AP English class I had to find critisms on Jane Eyre and background information on Charlotte Bronte. This book provided me with the materials to produce three pages of research on Charlotte Bronte.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thorough and scholarly examination of icons of English literature, December 12, 2008

This review is from: The Brontes (Bloom's Classic Critical Views) (Library Binding)

A sisterhood of great writers, The Brontes have made their mark. "The Brontes" is another edition in Bloom's Classic Critical Views series. Wildly popular in their day, they have became a major force in the history of English writing. Bloom and his critics look at the full catalog of their writings and discuss each of them in full, ranging from their novels to their poetry which was published under pseudonyms. "The Brontes" is a thorough and scholarly examination of icons of English literature.
