The Bront©± cabinet : three lives in nine objects… by Deborah Lutz

This was a nice brief , accessible way to learn about the Brontes. Sometimes, I think the author was a bit overly speculative, but the objects were interesting and the research well done.

The Bronte Cabinet - Three Lives in Nine Objects by Deborah Lutz

Oh man, I wanted to love this, but I kind of didn't. I think it was just too hindered by trying to connect the biographical information to the stuff. I think this would be a great read for a new entrant into the world of the Brontes, but obsessives won't really find any new scholarship.

The Bronte Cabinet - Three Lives in Nine Objects by Deborah Lutz

An interesting twist on the usual biography, with tons of historical context beyond the Brontë family, as well as information about each of the Brontës which I didn't know before. A worthwhile, introspective read.
