  • More about The Invention of Charlotte Bronte: Her Last Years and the Scandal That Made Her

Charlotte Brontë's life was as dramatic as Jane Eyre's, and her sudden death left her friends and admirers with more questions than answers. Elizabeth Gaskell's biography of Brontë was scandalous and banned twice in six months, but it gave birth to the legend of the Brontës. The Invention of Charlotte Brontë is a darker take on one of the most famous women writers of the nineteenth century, showing Charlotte to be a strong but flawed individual.

Publisher: The History Press Ltd


Charlotte Brontë, a survivor of a family of geniuses, reinvented herself as an acclaimed writer, mysterious celebrity, and passionate lover, but her sudden death left her friends and admirers with more questions than answers. Her friend, novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, uncovered secrets of illicit love, family discord, and professional rivalries, resulting in a tell-all biography that was banned and rewritten twice in six months but gave birth to the legend of the Brontës. The Invention of Charlotte Brontë is a darker take on one of the most famous women writers of the nineteenth century, showing Charlotte to be a strong but flawed individual. It challenges the established narrative to reveal the Brontë family as they've never been seen before.
