Product Description
The author of this study seeks to show that it was Anne Brontë, whose departure into the field of the realistic semi- autobiographic novel with a contemporary setting, launched the greatest of her siblings' achievements. P. J. M. Scott considers the whole oeuvre and illuminates its leading, nutritive characteristics. The book studies her poems, "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall", and "Agnes Grey" which, with its quiet realism and unrestrained passion, made a substantial contribution to, and development of, the nineteenth century's greatest literary art form. ...

Product Description
The most cherished novel from each of England's talented sisters, in one gorgeously packaged volume

The Brontë family was a literary phenomenon unequalled before or since. Both Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Emily's Wuthering Heights have won lofty places in the pantheon and stirred the romantic sensibilities of generations of readers. For the first time ever, Penguin Classics unites these two enduring favorites with the lesser known but no less powerful work by their youngest sister, Anne. Drawn from Anne's own experiences as a governess, Agnes Grey offers a compelling view of Victorian chauvinism and materialism. Its inclusion makes The Brontë Sisters a must-have volume for anyone fascinated by this singularly talented family.

Good for the biceps, maybe
I own a number of "the complete works of..." books and love the leather covers and lovely illustrations.But this one is huge - obnoxiously huge.I can't even hold it while reading in bed (my favorite reading spot).You will be much happier with ordering the books separately.

Very Large
This is a pretty book, but quite large...not exactly good for curling up in bed to read...BUT...for the price it is great to have all of the novels of these three Bronte sisters.With no concerns about money, I'd buy the books individually for happier reading and better portability...this one is the size of a college textbook and heavy...not great for taking with you.It is pretty though, and the illustrations are beautiful...taken from various editions of the individual books, and they are labeled so that you know who the illustrator is, which book and edition it was taken from.I learned from buying this book though that for reading, I prefer individual paperbacks...but this one might hold up longer to multiple readings.Seems to be a good quality, and my little ones are fascinated by the gilded page edges...so shiny! (Which in itself is a little dangerous because they keep wanting to look in the book now and see if there are any other shiny treasures inside...)...a mixed bag. ... Read more

Unreadable
The horrible formatting makes many of the books in the collection completely unreadable. Elizabeth Gaskell's Biography of Charlotte Bronte is the poorest formatted of all books here but the rest are quite unreadable as well. The ending of each subchapter is absent as if it were chewed off. The typos abound, and you have to sit there guessing how the sentence was supposed to end.

The Brontes are amazing writers and they don't deserve to have their works tortured like this by unconscientious publishers eager to make a buck without doing any editing or formatting work.

Needs improvement but suits my needs
As of mid Dec 2009 there is no active table of contents for each chapter of each book, just only one heading for each particular book.
All the poems are under just one entry, so it is impossible to look for a poem by its title or to tell which poem belongs to which of the family members. You can however search for a poem if you are familiar with any part of it.
I experienced sentence breakage in the middle of paragraphs for "Jane Eyre" but not the "Wuthering Heights" as stated by one other reviewer. You should expect to find as many of them as there are pages on a printed book.Let's say 400.
At the present time this edition has suited my needs and don't need to upgrade to a more expensive edition.

Poor formatting ruins great works
I wanted to read Jane Eyre and thought I was getting a good deal since I want to read Wuthering Heights at a later time. Although it is easy to navigate to specific works in the collection, the font is distracting and awkward to read for any length of time and the punctuation indistinct (the periods and commas are hard to tell apart). There is also random paragraph spacing in the middle of lines. I ended up buying another edition of Jane Eyre to finish reading the book.

This is great!
I love that I have all of the Bronte sisters' works on my Kindle in a single file. The table of contents makes everything conveniently accessible. ... Read more
