Rezensionen

'Chitham is scrupulous in documenting every one of the many thousands of events listed, and...about noting any doubt or uncertainty in dating events...For the peak years of Brontë activity, many days a month are itemized...[The book] should become a standard desk and library resource for all who study the Brontës in depth.' - Bob Duckett, Editor, Brontë Studies
