Charlotte Bronte Revisited: A View from the Twenty-First Century

by SophieFranklin (Author)

Synopsis

Everybody knows Charlotte Bronte. World-famous for her novel Jane Eyre, she's a giant of literature and has been written about in reverential tones in scores of textbooks over the years. But what do we really know about Charlotte? In this bicentennial year, Charlotte Bronte Revisited looks at Charlotte through 21st-century eyes. Discover her private world of convention, rebellion and imagination, and how they shaped her life, writing and obsessions - including the paranormal, nature, feminism and politics. It's a celebration of all things Charlotte Bronte, and emphatically shows why she's as relevant today as she ever was.
