About the Author :
Robert Barnard has served two terms of Chairman of the Bronte Society and is the author of numerous books, including A Short History of English Literature (Blackwell, 1984). In 2003 he was honored for his lifetime achievement with a Diamond Dagger award for his over forty crime novels. Louise Barnard was for many years a university librarian in Australia and Norway. She was responsible for the bibliography and filmography in Robert Barnard's book on Agatha Christie and has researched extensively for A Bronte Encylopedia.

Review :
"Aficionados of all things Bronte must have this encyclopedia on their desks. Even those with just a passing interest in Bronte or literary research can become trapped in this book for hours. Looking up one entry leads to looking up another, and then another." "This book has references to the important and the arcane and the obscure, references to places the Brontes visited, people they knew; in short, everything." (English Literature in Transition 1820-1920) "Approximately 2,000 meticulously researched entries are alphabetically arranged in clear, page-wide columns, accompanied by sixty carefully selected illustrations. Although intended as a work of reference, the authors' lively style and 'original literary judgements' make for an entertaining read. A handsome volume which will be a valuable reference tool for many years to come, for the general reader and scholar alike." (Bronte Studies, March 2008) "Despite the author's association with the Bronte Society, he does not gloss over the facts of the Brontes' lives ... a fine work that will serve undergraduates well."
