Opis

The trials Anne Brontë experienced in her life left her with a deep interest in the psychology of suffering. This study of both her novels and her poetry focuses on her depiction of the struggle to face adversity, achieve happiness and find and maintain religious faith.

Recenzje

«Butterworth's book is a welcome contribution to our appreciation of Anne Brontë's talents. She stands out strongly here: self-possessed, compassionate and clear-sighted, speaking to us now about life as we find it, rather than as we would hope it to be.» (Graham Watson, Brontë Studies 45/3, July 2020)
