The Landscape of the Brontes [Hardcover] Arthur pollard (Author), Simon McBride (Photographer)

The Victorian age was one whose principal tenets were progress and individualism, and one characterized by Tennyson as an awful moment of transition. In this volume introductory essays on aspects of Victorian thought, faith and doubt lead into chapters on the major novelists and poets of the period, as well as pieces on women prose-writers, fantasy and nonsense, the Victorian theatre and the fin de siecle.
