Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider the position of woman in the works of the Brontes with particular attention to a comparison of the Bronte heroines with the usual heroines of Victorian fiction. Before approaching their books, however, it will be necessary to learn something of these three sisters whose lives contained so much that set them apart from the typical English novelist of the nineteenth century.
