The Brontës: Wild Genius on the Moors: The Story of a Literary Family

In a revised and updated edition, the real story of the BrontÃ« sisters, by distinguished scholar and historian Juliet Barker
Â
The story of the tragic BrontÃ« family is familiar to everyone: we all know about the half-mad, repressive father, the drunken, drug-addicted wastrel of a brother, wildly romantic Emily, unrequited Anne, and â€œpoor Charlotte.â€ Or do we? These stereotypes of the popular imagination are precisely thatâ€”imaginaryâ€”created by amateur biographers like Elizabeth Gaskell who were primarily novelists and were attracted by the tale of an apparently doomed family of genius.
Â
Juliet Barkerâ€™s landmark book is the first definitive history of the BrontÃ«s. It demolishes the myths, yet provides startling new information that is just as compellingâ€”but true. Based on firsthand research among all the BrontÃ« manuscripts and among contemporary historical documents never before used by BrontÃ« biographers, this book is both scholarly and compulsively readable.
Â
The BrontÃ«s is a revolutionary picture of the worldâ€™s favorite literary family.
