The pioneers of Anglo-Irish fiction 1800-1850 Book

I honestly thought I knew pretty much all there was to the ladies who wrote those famous classics everyone has to read. But, alas, there is more. Now, do find your favourite method of migraine-suppression, and stat. The advice I have been told is that if you take relief agents before you know a headache will arise, you are likely to experience fewer symptoms.

Though of all of what I have read from this book, what I found most useful of it was truthfully immediately in the beginning: the order of the siblings. I can't ever keep the order of my uncles and aunts straight so it's good that these scholars wrote the Brontës down right in the Preface: Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. (I don't know if it's as important as the order of operations, but I think it's important that I am older than my sister, so it is probably important that Charlotte is older than Branwell, Emily, et cetera.)
Otherwise, this reads almost exactly like all the other lit-crit books I have ever read in my years at university. Each commentary is categorised in alphabetical order.
Everything else is rather interesting; these people were so influential! You have to get this book to see more detail.

The primary thing I didn't know going into this book was that there actually was a brother.
Seriously, I was that deficit in my understanding of these people that if there was or wasn't someone there I wouldn't have caught it.
That's so embarrassing!
