Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot & Jane Austen

In his detailed study Henry Bonnell analyses the works of three of the greatest literary women in 19th century England.
He examines aspects of realism, the attitude towards nature and the role of passion in the writings of Brontë. Eliot's work is investigated with respect to religion, philosophy, art and sympathy. In his study of Austen Bonnell shows how place and charm have influenced her texts.
His book will be of interest to the social historian as much as to the students of literature.
