Charlotte Brontë Revisited - Paperback

by Sophia Franklin (Author)

Charlotte Bronte Revisited looks again at Charlotte Brontë's life and work through 21st-century eyes. Discover her private world of convention, rebellion, and imagination, and how they shaped her life, writing, and obsessions--including the paranormal, nature, feminism and politics.

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.
