About This Item
Synopsis
The Life of Charlotte Brontë is a posthumous biography of Charlotte Brontë by fellow novelist Elizabeth Gaskell. As a major source for the content of the biography were the hundreds of letters sent by Brontë to her lifelong friend Ellen Nussey, the book treads carefully and quiets down some of the material that would have been too controversial for the time or damaging to the family's reputation. In 2017, The Guardian named The Life of Charlotte Brontë one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time.
