Inhaltsangabe
As far as she could see, her life was ordained to be lonely, and she must subdue her nature to her life, and, if possible, bring the two into harmony. When she could employ herself in fiction, all was comparatively well. The characters were her companions in the quiet hours, which she spent utterly alone, unable often to stir out of doors for many days together.
Elizabeth Gaskell took inspiration from letters sent by Charlotte to Ellen Nussey to write this biography of her friend. The first edition was published in 1857 to popular acclaim, and remains the most significant study of the famous author. Charlotte was the eldest of the three Brontë sisters and whose novels became classics of English literature such as Jane Eyre and Villette. This captivating biography takes the reader from Charlotte’s early childhood with her sisters, explores her writings, her marriage and her tragic death.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–65) was born in London and grew up in Cheshire. In her mid-twenties, she started having poems and prose sketches published in journals, and she eventually became one of the most prominent authors of the Victorian era, with novels such as Mary Barton, Cranford, North and South and Wives and Daughters examining social inequalities in provincial England. Her most influential nonfiction work was the biography The Life of Charlotte Brontë.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Part of the Hero Classics series"As far as she could see, her life was ordained to be lonely, and she must her nature to her life, and, if possible, bring the two into harmony. When she could employ herself in fiction, all was comparatively well. The characters were her companions in the quiet hours, which she spent utterly alone, unable often to stir out of doors for many days together."When Charlotte Bronte's father asked Gaskell to write his daughter's biography, his main concern was to preserve the legacy of Charlotte and present an authorised take on her life as opposed to the speculations and gossip in the yellow papers. Gaskell and Charlotte had met on just a few occasions, so the biographer had to do profound research to actually delve into her mysterious life. From Charlotte's own notes to various letters she had access to, Gaskell is seen mapping through a range of sources to find out the truth of her life. Right from the first pages of the text, we can distinctly spot Gaskell's artistic infusions of metaphors and the poetic descriptions of the setting as well as doing justice with the life of Charlotte Bronte. This biography is all that is needed for Bronte's readers as well as the admirers of inventive stylistic takes in non-fictional writing.Upon its publication in 1857, The Life of Charlotte Bronte quite predictably caused controversy, so much so that the biographer was threatened with a legal action. Exciting exploration into Charlotte's life and the criticism which followed, this makes it a must read for Bronte students and fans.The Hero Classics series:MeditationsThe ProphetA Room of One's OwnIncidents in the Life of a Slave GirlThe Art of WarThe Life of Charlotte BronteThe RepublicThe PrinceNarrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.
