The Brontë sisters all worked as teachers before they became published novelists. In spite of the prevalence of education in the sisters' lives and fiction, however, this was the first full-length book on the subject when it was published in 2007. Marianne Thormählen explores how their representations of fictional teachers and schools engage with the intense debates on education in the nineteenth century, drawing on a wealth of documentary evidence about educational theory and practice in the lifetime of the Brontës. This study offers much information both about the Brontës and their books and about the most urgent issue in early nineteenth-century British social politics: the education of the people, of all classes and both sexes.The Brontës & EducationEnglish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismEducation in literatureEducational equalizationGreat BritainHistory19th centuryEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Education in literature.Educational equalizationHistory823.8093557Thormählen Marianne1949-552740UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457697403321The Brontës and education2476154UNINA
