Description What does it mean to be human? The Bront novels and poetry are fascinated by what lies at the core - and limits - of the human.
The Bront s and the Idea of the Human presents a significant re-evaluation of how Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bront each responded to scientific, legal, political, theological, literary, and cultural concerns in ways that redraw the boundaries of the human for the nineteenth century.
