Description - Charlotte Bronte by Claire Harman
The definitive biography of a beloved British novelist published on her 200th anniversary
Raised motherless on remote Yorkshire moors, watching five beloved siblings sicken and die, haunted by unrequited love- Charlotte Bronte's life has all the drama and tragedy of the great Gothic novels it inspired.
Charlotte was a literary visionary, a feminist trailblazer and the driving force behind the whole Bronte family. She pushed Emily to publish Wuthering Heights and took charge of their precarious finances when her feckless brother turned to opium. In Jane Eyre she introduced the world to a brand new kind of heroine, modelled on herself- quiet but fiercely intelligent, burning with passion and potential.
This is a truly gripping and illuminating account of one of our best-loved novelists.
