In Search of Anne Bronte by Nick Holland
Anne Bronte, the youngest and most enigmatic of the Bronte sisters, remains a bestselling author nearly two centuries after her death. The brilliance of her two novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and her poetry belies the quiet, yet courageous girl who often lived in the shadows of her more celebrated sisters.
'Holland's book is beautifully written, a devoted labor of loveIt is a fine introductory volume for readers just becoming acquainted with the Brontes, and there is much analysis to interest students and expert scholars.' -- Ellen Moody * The Victorian Web *
'Holland has enormous affection for Anne Brontë, and his excellent book is filled with passion and pathos. Its triumph is that Anne is given voice and is no longer swamped by her siblings.' -- Roger Lewis * The Mail on Sunday *
'Holland's way of telling about Anne Brontë's final illness and last days is particularly touching while avoiding the easy slide into parable territory. This new biography proves that Anne Brontë's afterlife is just like her life: not about quantity but about quality.' * Brontë Blog Book Review *
