Charlotte Bronte: A Passionate Life

* From the highly acclaimed author of Vindication: A Life of Mary Wollstonecraft comes this extraordinary analysis of Charlotte Bronte

In this groundbreaking and unconventional biography, Lyndall Gordon dismantles the insistent image of Charlotte Bronte as a modest Victorian lady, the slave to duty in the shadow of tombstones, revealing instead a strong and fiery woman who shaped her own life and transformed it into art.

''Sensitive, open-minded, vivid, full of psychological insight, [Gordon''s] book is a brilliant reappraisal of Charlotte Bronte''s life, work, and the flow between the two . . . It is also a deeply moving story'' Jackie Wullschlager, Financial Times
