The story of the tragic Bronte 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 Brontes. It demolishes the myths, yet
provides startling new information that is just as compelling - but
true. Based on first-hand research among all the Bronte
manuscripts, including contemporary historical documents never
before used by Bronte biographers, this book is both scholarly and
compulsively readable. The Brontes is a revolutionary picture of
the world''s favorite literary family.
