| Sumario: | The Edinburgh Companion to the Brontës and the Arts, edited by Amber K. Regis and Deborah Wynne, is a comprehensive collection of twenty-nine chapters exploring the Brontë family's engagement with various art forms and their cultural afterlives. Organized into four thematic parts—ranging from visual aesthetics and cultural influences to adaptations and new media—the volume emphasizes innovative and interdisciplinary approaches rather than uniform methodology. Contributors examine topics such as the Brontës’ connections to fanfiction, poetry reprintings, and popular culture, while also addressing biographical myth-making and the family’s artistic heritage. Although the book’s scope and editorial choices are sometimes uneven, it offers detailed, up-to-date scholarship valuable for researchers interested in the Brontës’ artistic contexts and legacies.
