The Brontes: A Collection of Critical Essays, Edited by Ian Gregor (read Dec 11, 1973) There were eleven essays in the book, but I only commented on two, one of which expatiated on fire meaning warmth in the book, and I had never given such a thought so I decided I was not much of a critical reader. The other was a study of the legal aspects of Wuthering Heights and led me to decide that though I thought I had an outstanding course in Real Property law, with much attention to Quia Emptores, and the Rule in Shelley's Case et al., I did not know much English land law any more, sad to say.

Charlotte and Emily Bronte? have long been the subject of critical and popular interest -- both for their lives and their works. In this volume, ten noted authors and critics probe the works of the Bronte?s to show the influences that shaped the mystical worlds of their novels and poems and contributed to their distinctive styles. Their novels are not rebellions against Victorian social standards, but rather are Charlotte and Emily's way of transmuting Victorian ideals into symbolic form. In studying such aspects of the Bronte?'s literature as imagery, ideas of love, and Gothic style, other contributors show "how most interpretations invariably return to the question of Charlotte and Emily's personal involvement in their novels." -- From publisher's description.
