Criticism Epithetical Books The Life of Charlotte Brontë

A thoroughly brilliant, moving and engaging read - more letters and commentary than a biography at times, but well worth a read.

3.5*I should never think about reviews! Once I decide I have Something To Say, it just drags on & on!I now have recent reads that prove that writing a biography or memoir when the subject or close friends & family are still living is no easy task. Memories differ, things happen that some want to forget. Take by David Niven where he allegedly borrowed other peoples' memories, amalgamated some of his own & for obvious reasons didn't want to admit that his second marriage was deeply

I've heard this biography disparaged by others who love Charlotte Brontë, and so I fully intend to read other biographies for the sake of comparison. However, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this account of Ms. Brontë by one of her contemporaries.ETA a few quotes (from Charlotte's letters) that really resonated with me:"I have some qualities that make me very miserable, some feelings that you can have no participation inthat few, very few, people in the world can at all understand.

I can see why this biography is still considered one of Gaskell's important works.First of all, Gaskell makes heavy use of letters to and from Bronte to illustrate Bronte's life and character. This is good biography practice, of course, but it also lets you see just how much more intellectual Bronte had become by the end of her life. Her letters become much more interested in ideas, and much

In this biography, Charlotte Bronte's friend Elizabeth Gaskell makes use of dozens of letters to show us the kind of person Charlotte was, and inso doing, let Charlotte speak for herself as much as possible. I appreciated getting to know Charlotte's voice and personality through all these letters. Not every single one of them held my interest as much as others, but those were easy enough to skim.
