[The] contradictions in [Brontes] life are not only fully chronicled by Lyndall Gordons splendid new biography, but also gracefully explicated to give the reader a vivid and emotionally detailed portrait of the novelist and her work. . . . [Gordon] chooses to use her imaginative sympathieshoned to precision with earlier biographies of Virginia Woolf and T. S. Eliotto delineate her subjects rich interior life. Michiko Kakutani, New York Times This highly acclaimed biography looks beyond the insistent image of the modest Victorian lady, the slave to duty in the shadow of tombstones. Instead we see a strong, fiery woman who shaped her own life and transformed it into art. Lyndall Gordon looks at the shared gifts and class ambitions of the Bronte family, and also at significant peoplethe active feminist Mary Taylor, the demanding mentor Constantin Heger, the rising publisher George Smithwhom Charlotte strove to possess in life and fiction. Drawing on unpublished letters, the Roe Head Journal, early stories, the manuscript of Villette, and her last, unfinished novel, Lyndall Gordon explores the gaps in Charlotte Brontes life. How did she arrive at her understanding of passion from a womans point of view? Could she resolve the testing conflict between a writers life and a seemingly incongruous marriage to the devoted curate Arthur Bell Nicholls? Looking into the shadow between the facts, Gordon takes biography into that unseen space where this woman of genius was able to live.
