The following study, then, is an attempt to search out the themes that occupied [Charlotte] Bronte in her novels and to demonstrate how they are given artistic life; in short, to show how Charlotte Brontë attempted to speak 'the language of conviction' in the 'accents of persuasion'.'\u003cbr\u003e(Robert Bernard Martin, from his Introduction.)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54243748053336,"sku":"9780571296477","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780571296477.jpg?v=1765958415","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/accents-of-persuasion","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
