| Summary | "The Key to the Brontë Works" by John Malham-Dembleby is a literary analysis written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a companion volume to the iconic novels of Charlotte Brontë, including "Wuthering Heights" and "Jane Eyre," exploring the relationships between her life experiences and the themes and characters present in her writings. The book provides insights into the methods of construction of Brontë's works while uncovering the significant connections between her personal life and the events and figures in her stories. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the life of Charlotte Brontë, detailing her early years, familial relationships, and the influence of her upbringing on her creative output. Malham-Dembleby emphasizes the impact of her friendships, notably with M. Héger, and her experiences during her time in Brussels, suggesting that these experiences formed the basis of many of her characters and narratives. He aims to reveal Brontë's artistic integrity and the deep personal connections evident in her writings, leading to the assertion that her storied characters and plots are direct reflections of her own life.
