This volume is a portrait of the Bronte? sisters and their family. The English sisters are well known as poets and novelists. Charlotte Bronte? (1816-1855), known for her novel Jane Eyre; Emily Bronte? (1818-1848), famous for Wuthering Heights; and Anne Bronte? (1820-1849), the author of Tenant of Wildfell Hall, were very close and during their childhood developed their imaginations through the collaborative writing of increasingly complex stories. Writing from a contemporary perspective and drawing on previously unknown documents, this book allows readers to see Charlotte Bronte? and her sisters as their contemporaries saw them, as passionately outspoken women who dared to claim for their sex an equal right to the passions and desires of men. The author makes many suggestions as to the origins of characters, plots, and locations which all the sisters used in their writing. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

My one quarrel with Fraser's biography is that Fraser does occasionally use rhetorical questions and innuendo to hint at conclusions which are more guess than supported facts, such as Fraser's suggestion that Charlotte, in a letter to Ellen Nussey, made a tentative suggestion for a Boston marriage.
Still, Fraser's biography is a very worthwhile biography, shorter than Barker's for those intimidated by Barker's length; and prior to Barker's first-edition publication, Fraser's was the best Bronte biography available (along, of course, with Gaskell's highly romanticized 1857 biography). ( )
