As an introduction to this collection of essays on the Brontë sisters - Charlotte, Emily, and Anne - Jeremy Tambling presents a "self-interview" in which he asks himself (and then answers) the kinds of questions that might occur to anyone new to, or simply interested in, the Brontës. Why are they worth reading? What kinds of approaches to them are most helpful? Are there any particular scholarly works about them that seem especially worth consulting? Are they still "relevant"? And so on. In an engaging first-person account of his own growing interest in the Brontës and their writings, Tambling offers readers a genuinely inviting introduction. His "self-interview" is then followed by a brief biography of the Brontës by the volume<U+2019>s editor. (Publisher)
