About this title

From School Library Journal:

YA-- A detailed, comprehensive study of the Bronte family that shows the thorough research that went into it. This book contains many suggestions for the origins of characters, plots, and locations which both Emily and Charlotte used in their writing. It gives a wonderful but sad look at the society of the day as reflected in the lives of these educated yet poor sisters. Documentation and detailed notes are included.

From Publishers Weekly:

"This compelling biography sets Charlotte Bronte in her rightful place as the central figure in a remarkable and gifted family," stated PW . Fraser's scholarly and sympathetic telling includes a valuable analysis of what was in Bronte's time called "woman's place" and how that stereotype has evolved. Photos.
