'To remind oneself of just how provisional even the most definitive treatments of Bronte's life and work inevitably turn out to be, you have only to turn to Charlotte Bronte: legacies and afterlives, edited by Amber K. Regis and Deborah Wynne. Here you will find an account of the dizzyingly varied ways in which scholars and creative practitioners have metabolized Bronte's work in the decades since her death before returning it to the world, transformed.' Kathryn Hughes, TLS January 2018 'The book begins with a scrupulous and detailed account of actual and conjectural pictures of Bronte ... I cannot think of another artist whose appearance has received so much attention. What is the difference between the continuing life of works of art and the continuing life of an artist? What difference does it make to that continuing life when the artist is a woman? ... Most of the essays in part 1 focus on the afterlife part of this collection, and are thoughtful, scholarly, and consistently attentive to what it now means to study a Victorian cult writer in relation to the history of her reception and to contemporary concerns.' Janet Gezari, Connecticut College, Victorian Studies, Volume 61, Number 1, Autumn 2018 -- .
