Though their lives were tragically short, Charlotte and Emily Bront De made significant contributions to the history of the novel as a respected literary form. This Student Companion offers an absorbing biographical account of the Bront De sisters' upbringing, tracing the familial and personal influences that shaped their intellectual lives. A literary heritage chapter also helps students grasp the importance of the sisters' literary accomplishments. A thorough, clear critical analysis is provided for each novel, including sections on plot, character development, thematic issues, literary devices and craft, and the historical\/social-cultural context of each work. In addition to \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre, \u003c\/i\u003e original analysis is also given for \u003ci\u003eShirley\u003c\/i\u003e (1849)\u003ci\u003e, Villette \u003c\/i\u003e(1853\u003ci\u003e), \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Professor\u003c\/i\u003e (1857), Charlotte's first written but posthumously published novel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFive different contemporary literary theories--Marxist, Freudian, Jungian, Postcolonial, and Feminist--are included in the analysis and are discussed and applied to the novels.
