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
