The study of women's writing has been long neglected by a male establishement both in academic circles and beyond. As a result, many women writers have either been unfairly negelcted, or have been marginalized in some way, so that their true influence and importance has been ignored. Other women writers have been accepted by male critics and academics, but on terms which seem, to many women readers of this generation, to be false or simplistic. This series is designed to help in a re-assessment of women's writing. All the books are written by women. This study on Emily Bronte has been written by the author of a number of articles an 19th and 20th century fiction, and on the 19th century periodical press.
