Brontes and War e-bog

This book explores the representations of militarisim and masculinity in Charlotte and Branwell Bronte's youthful writings. It offers insight into how the siblings understood and reimagined conflict (both local and overseas) and its emotional legacies whilst growing up in early-nineteenth-century Britain. Their writings shed new light on a period little discussed by social and military historians, providing not only a new approach to Bronte Studies, but also acting as a familial case study for how the media captivated and enticed the public imagination.
