It is a collection of essays based on a lifetime's study and work of this complex book and its equally complex author.
The essays examine the historical context of the novel but Tytler also demands that the reader pay close attention to the novelist herself.
He wants us, his readers, to develop an understanding of exactly how versatile and gifted she was as a writer.
He points out that she had a masterful way with the creation of the intricate plots that were at the very heart of the novel, the playful inventiveness that she employed to create a myriad of well-drawn characters of almost finite variety that she used to populate the incredible world that she created and crafted.
Not to mention the sparkling brilliance of her writing!
This is an extremely well-researched and well-crafted book of essays on both Emily Bronte and the work that she is most famous for.
It contains many points of which I was not aware and will make an excellent book for students of both the Bronte sisters and of 19th century literature, for that matter.
At only £9.99 this will make a superb present to any literature student.
It's published by Matador.
