The Complete Bronte Collection (Wordsworth Box Sets)

Im not reviewing the novels themselves (which so far I have deeply enjoyed) but Wordsworth publishing. These books are an incredible value for the price. Some will undoubtedly find the text too small, but it means they can make the books small and easier to hold. They have an elegant design, they are well bound, and crucially they have explanatory notes in the back of the books. Anne and Charlotte use a lot of French passages (especially Charlotte) and you will need the translations Wordsworth provides. They also define archaic words and customs, provide historical context, and occasionally explain how scenes may have been influenced by the authors real life experience. If you have a passion for classic literature and want to try reading the Brontë sisters, Wordsworth is the way to go, as long as you have young eyes that don’t mind small font.I will say that The Professor had a printing error that blurred the text on many pages, but this error is so slight that I can’t even make it apparent in pictures. None of the other books had this issue, nor have the dozen or two other Wordsworth books I’ve purchased.

Bought this as a gift. They loved it!

I bought these because I wanted them on my shelf for my teens to read. They are a beautiful boxed set. One day, when I'm done raising kids, I hope to read them too!

I can't believe we get all these novels for such a low price. Like Penguin books and Oxford World Classics, these books also come with an extensive commentary and endnotes. My only slight complaint is that the box if a very tight fit for these books. Once you get one book out, it will be quite difficult to put it back in. Also, on my copy of 'The Professor' the print was smeared on every left hand page.

Very happy with the collection. My sister-in-law loves it! The only things wrong were the books were in backward and one of the edges of the book holder was slightly ripped but I put it back together with a clear tape. Luckily it was on the bottom so you cant even tell! Thank you!

Novels by Brönte sisters, some of the greatest history tellers from nineteeth century.

I had been searching high and low for a book set by the Bronte sisters. This set has it all. I love the fact that it contains Wuthering Heights, my all time favorite literary novel of all time, besides Gone with the Wind, of course. If you are looking for a set to accentuate your current collection, or simply want to try out a novel by the Bronte sisters, this collection is the way to go. It contains their most favorite works, including some other lesser known ones. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did to receive this from Amazon.

Enjoyed reading these classic books for entertainment and increasing brain activity. Way better than movie adaptation.
