HTML:<b>A "brilliant" biography of the Brontë family, dispelling popular myths and revealing the true story of Emily, Anne, Charlotte, and their father (<i>The Independent on Sunday</i>).</b><br /> <br /> The tragic story of the Brontë family has been told many times: the half-mad, repressive father; the drunken, drug-addicted brother; wildly romantic Emily; unrequited Anne; and "poor Charlotte." But is any of it true? These caricatures of the popular imagination were created by amateur biographers like Elizabeth Gaskell who were more interested in lurid tales than genuine scholarship.<br /> <br /> Juliet Barker's landmark book is the first definitive history of the Brontës. It demolishes the myths, yet provides startling new information that is just as compelling—but true. Based on firsthand research among all the Brontë manuscripts and among contemporary historical documents never before used by Brontë biographers, this book is both scholarly and compulsively readable.<br /> <br /> <i>The Brontës</i> is a revolutionary picture of the world's favorite literary family.<br />.
