The Brontes
- Used Book in Good Condition
In a revised and updated edition for a new generation of readers, the real story of the BrontÃ« sisters, by distinguished scholar and historian Juliet Barker.
The story of the tragic BrontÃ« family is familiar to everyone: we all know about the half-mad, repressive father, the drunken, drug-addled wastrel of a brother, wildly romantic Emily, unrequited Anne, and "poor Charlotte." Or do we? These stereotypes of the popular imagination are precisely that - imaginary - created by amateur biographers such as Mrs. Gaskell who were primarily novelists and were attracted by the tale of an apparently doomed family of genius.

Juliet Barker's landmark book is the first definitive history of the BrontÃ«s. It demolishes the myths, yet provides startling new information that is just as compelling - but true. Based on first-hand research among all the BrontÃ« manuscripts, including contemporary historical documents never before used by BrontÃ« biographers, this book is both scholarly and compulsively readable. The BrontÃ«s is a revolutionary picture of the world's favorite literary family. 32 B&W phots plus 25 in text drawings
