'Sandra Hagan and Juliette Wells have assembled a fine collection on the Brontes and the arts. Following on the groundbreaking work of Christine Alexander in The Art of the Brontes, the essays explore the Brontes' practice and uses of the visual arts of drawing, painting, and engraving, but expand the range to include their knowledge of music, theatre, and social performance and its presence in their novels and poetry. Essential not only for the art of the Brontes, but also for understanding the development of nineteenth-century women's professionalism as artists, authors, and musicians.' Linda Peterson, Yale University, USA '...These mature discussions (supplemented with wonderful illustrations) extend scholarship on the Brontes and Victorian popular arts...Recommended.' Choice 'The collection, though primarily addressed to an academic audience, would appeal to a broad spectrum of readers: Bronte scholars and enthusiasts, literary critics and historians interested in the arts in the nineteenth century, and those intrigued by artistic adaptations of the Brontes' lives and works.' Bronte Studies 'By juxtaposing studies of the Brontes' own artistic practice with contemporary artists' responses to it, this collection enables readers to see why, as well as how, the Brontes live on in the popular imagination... In addition to the breadth of its contributions, the other strength of this volume is in the depth and detail of its scholarly apparatus.' Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature '... give[s] readers a sense of the critical energy of Bronte studies and of the possibilities for future research. ...The Brontes' 'world of the arts' has indeed become a bit more wordly, and we have Hagan and Wells to thank for that.' Victorian Studies 'This compilation is a welcome addition to the number of "exceptional resources now available to scholars and readers who wish to investigate these interdisciplinary intersections" between the Brontes and various forms of art. Recommended for scholars and the wider reading public interested in Romantic and Victorian literature and the comparative arts.' Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies
Although previous scholarship has acknowledged the importance of the visual arts to the Brontës, relatively little attention has been paid to the influence of music, theatre, and material culture on the siblings' lives and literature. This interdisciplinary collection presents new research on the Brontës' relationship to the wider world of the arts, including their relationship to the visual arts. The contributors examine the siblings' artistic ambitions, productions, and literary representations of creative work in both amateur and professional realms. Also considered are re-envisionings of the Brontës' works, with an emphasis on those created in the artistic media the siblings themselves knew or practiced. With essays by scholars who represent the fields of literary studies, music, art, theatre studies, and material culture, the volume brings together the strongest current research and suggests areas for future work on the Brontës and their cultural contexts.
