The Invention of Charlotte Bronte

£15.99

When Elizabeth Gaskell released her biography of Charlotte Brontë in 1857 she uncovered secrets so scandalous her publication was banned and rewritten. Making extensive use of private correspondence, Graham Watson focuses on the last five years of Brontë’s life to shed new light on her marriage and growing fame while also exploring how her legacy was shaped by her friendship with Gaskell and the controversies surrounding her Life.
