The essays collected in The Bront? Sisters in Other Wor(l)ds present a series of highly original insights that open up our understanding of the Bront?s in a transnational and transcultural context. The authors successfully breach the boundaries of established Bront? criticism through their discussion of the sisters' translation/reception/adaptation into such disparate locations as China, Mexico, Japan, and the Caribbean, as well as into opera and non-English-language film. This book provides an excellent set of new directions for future Bront? scholarship. - Richard Nemesvari, Professor of English and Dean of Arts, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada
