The works of the Brontë sisters — Charlotte, Emily, and Anne — caused an uproar during their day, and continue to captivate modern readers with their vivid characters, passionate romanticism,
sinister atmosphere, and feminist strains. This audiobook collects four examples of the sisters at the height of their powers. Charlotte is represented with Villette, a penetrating
psychological study of a young woman teaching at an all-girls school; and the immortal Jane Eyre, acclaimed for its blend of social critique and Gothicism. Emily's equally classic
Wuthering Heights unforgettably recounts the all-encompassing, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine. Finally, younger sister Anne offers a prescient tale of an
idealistic young woman trying to save her brutish husband from himself in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Readers Hannah Gordon, Carole Boyd, and David Rintoul dramatize these
masterpieces in high British style.
