Emily, Anne, and Charlotte Brontë were three sisters who left an indelible mark on the literature of their age. Collectively, their novels give voice to often-isolated individuals who struggle to be heard.

This new volume is designed to help students develop their analytical writing skills and critical comprehension of these authors and their major works.
"Lenny sat down in an old armchair and read a book. But he kept an eye on Dr Spinks. The old man walked about the shop. He stopped and looked here and there, but never at the goldfish bowl. The bowl came from Italy, and it was hundreds of years old. It was Venetian glass, and it could bring a lot of money. Dr Spinks moved on. For a time he looked at the little red flowers of a house plant. Then he made his way to a small white horse - it stood to the right of the goldfish bowl."
