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

Industry Reviews

An exemplary biography: brisk but attentive to all nuance; lucid and open in its judgements; wearing its learning lightly but visibly - Jan Marsh, New Statesman

Brilliant and powerful...[Gordon] brings us the closest we are ever likely to get to an understanding of the source of Charlotte Bronte's creative genius...Bronte biography has, at last, come of age - Mark Bostridge, TES
