Elizabeth Gaskell (18101865)
The Life of Charlotte Brontė (1857)
In Two Volumes (both included).
An authorised biography of Charlotte Brontė, by her friend and fellow-novelist, Mrs Gaskell.
Mrs Gaskell has softened the character of the only surviving Brontė: Charlottes father, and played down his monstrous selfishness. She has also omitted mentioning Charlottes unrequited love for her teacher, M. Héger, even though this is the key to understanding Villette, Shirley and The Professor.
She does include a lot of Charlotte Brontės letters.
The source was PG and a lot of formatting was needed to get a satisfactory result.
