User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review ‘Anagramatic exploration of names, scouring of maps and locations…a startling dexterity with dates, a breathtaking clarity in complexity are all displayed in what is nothing less than a tour-de-force. For all who continue to be intrigued by the mysteries of Emily Brontë’s elusive genius, this is a book to be read at a sitting and then to keep to hand. It is a fine detective book and celebration of a poet-novelist-novelist-poet who, as her sister Charlotte tells us, was never afraid of hard work.’ – Brian Wilks, Brontë Society Transactions About the Author EDWARD CHITHAM, Education Consultant for the National Association of Gifted Children, and Assistant Staff Tutor, Open University.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a wonderful piece of detective work, and whether you agree with some of Chitham’s conclusions and speculations or not, it is a joy to follow his reasoning and thought processes.As I am still tweaking my own Emily Bronte novel at this time, this book has provided a great deal of interesting background to the development of The Heights, including its origins, and to Emily’s life and her approach to writing.One of Chitham’s many useful contributions is his methodical proving of the existence of a second Emily Bronte novel. While I do not concur with his assessment of the probable content of that novel, I very much enjoyed reading this and all of his ideas.His obvious respect for the work of other great Bronte scholars, such as Stevie Davies (Emily Bronte: Heretic, Four Dreamers And Emily) only reinforces his own open-mindedness and broad-based, meticulous research.Excellent.

⭐Very detailed.

⭐Excellent. Would be of interest to anybody who loves the work of the Brontés or classic literature.

⭐Perspicace investigation!
