Cambridge University Press The Brontes and Education
Book SynopsisIn spite of the prevalence of education in the Brontës' lives and fiction, this was the first full-length book on the subject when published in 2007. Marianne Thormählen offers much new information both about the Brontës and their books and about the controversies about education in early nineteenth-century British social politics.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '… a valuable … addition to our understanding of the Brontë family's life and works … The strength of Thormählen's approach is her assured assembling of developments and theories that were the educational landscape against and in which the members of the family lived their lives and wove their fictional spells … Her strengths lie in the crisp, objective and lively review she undertakes in her studies, backed up by telling and generous notes that seduce one into further research … Thormählen triumphs in the light she shines on the educational world in which the family lived … This book is an exciting helpmate in the struggle to secure a firm understanding of factors that fed the Brontë sisters' imaginative development …' Brontë StudiesReview of the hardback: '… compelling and unique book … This thoroughly researched volume looks at … contemporaneous education controversies. Summing up: highly recommended.' ChoiceReview of the hardback: '… writes with considerable panache and vigor.
