About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 2001. 1st ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white photos, top spine little bumped, minor edgewear jacket (top spine little creased). 320 pp. Lucasta Miller has written a vigorous new biography of Charlotte Bronte that adds to our understanding of the famous English novelist and her family and culture, which has been frequently reinterpreted. An important aspect is the manipulation of a reputation. Witty, erudite and unsentimental, the author reveals as much about the impossible art of biography as she does about the Bronte family themselves.
Synopsis
Lucasta Miller has published research on Milton and worked as a literary journalist for The Times , Sunday Telegraph , New Statesman , TLS , Economist and the Independent , of which she was Deputy Literary Editor. This is her first book.
