At the moment, the international shipbuilding market is extremely dynamic and unpredictable, so that the needs for certain types of ships (as well as their prices) are changing dramatically from one day to the next. This requires from the shipbuilders to follow the conditions on the shipbuilding market continuously, to anticipate the changes, and to make tremendous efforts in adjusting their production capacities to the anticipated changes. Such requirements can be satisfied only by a shipbuilding industry that has a flexible and dynamic management, a competent team of experts, a modern technology, a good cooperation with the domestic equipment and outfitting industry, and a strong financial backing by the state and by the powerful commercial banking institutions.
Brontë Studies is the only journal solely dedicated to research on the Brontë family. Published continuously since 1895, it aims to encourage further study and research on all matters relating to the Brontë family, their background and writings, and their place in literary and cultural history. Original, peer-reviewed articles are published as well as papers delivered at conferences, notes on matters of interest, short notices reporting research activities and correspondence arising from items previously published in the journal. The journal also provides an official record of the Brontë Society and reports new accessions to the Brontë Parsonage Museum and its research library.
