Emily, Anne, and Charlotte Brontë were three sisters who left an indelible mark on the literature of their age.

Bloom's How to Write about the Brontës offers valuable paper-topic suggestions, clearly outlined strategies on how to write a strong essay, and an insightful introduction by Harold Bloom on writing about the Brontë sisters. This new volume is designed to help students develop their analytical writing skills and critical comprehension of these authors and their major works.
