Everybody knows Charlotte Brontë. World-famous for her novel Jane Eyre, she's a giant of literature and has been written about in reverential tones in scores of textbooks over the years. But what do we really know about Charlotte?
This is a celebration of all things Charlotte Brontë, and emphatically shows why her writing was so far ahead of its time, and is as relevant today as ever.
"Interweaves biography and reference to scholarly material with [Franklin's] own take on pertinent aspects of Charlotte's oeuvre ... [Her] witty tone makes the calibration of these two things—the pleasure of the literary enthusiastic and the scholarly—both easy and enjoyable. Franklin deftly mixes contemporary humour with reflectivity ... superbly written, exuberant." Brontë Studies Journal
