The Life of Charlotte Brontë — Volume 2 by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
"The Life of Charlotte Brontë — Volume 2" by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is a biography published in 1857. Drawing on personal friendship, letters, and firsthand testimonies, Gaskell crafted an influential portrait of the celebrated novelist. The first edition sparked immediate controversy, with slander complaints forcing its withdrawal and prompting censored revisions within months. Despite legal challenges and contested integrity, this groundbreaking work established the Brontë family as enduring cultural subjects, inspired literary
tourism to Yorkshire, and expanded the possibilities of biographical writing while addressing women's situations in Victorian society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
