As a work of scholarship it is brilliant.

Synopsis
In a revised and updated edition, the real story of the Brontë sisters, by distinguished scholar and historian Juliet Barker., The story of the tragic Bront family is familiar to everyone: we all know about the half-mad, repressive father, the drunken, drug-addicted wastrel of a brother, wildly romantic Emily, unrequited Anne, and "poor Charlotte." Or do we? These stereotypes of the popular imagination are precisely that--imaginary--created by amateur biographers from Mrs. Gaskell who were primarily novelists and were attracted by the tale of an apparently doomed family of genius. Juliet Barker's landmark book is the first definitive history of the Bront s. It demolishes the myths, yet provides startling new information that is just as compelling--but true. Based on first hand research among all the Bront manuscripts and among contemporary historical documents never before used by Bront biographers, this book is both scholarly and compulsively readable. The Bront s is a revolutionary picture of the world's favorite literary family., The story of the tragic Brontë family is familiar to everyone: we all know about the half-mad, repressive father, the drunken, drug-addicted wastrel of a brother, wildly romantic Emily, unrequited Anne, and "poor Charlotte."

- 0***1 (60)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseIt was shipped in a mailing bag. Not in a bubble mailer or a box, but a regular bag. And it arrived broken. The fragile rings of the 1977 cookbook, broke in transit. It was in good condition on Ebay, but did not arrive in good condition and did not arrive as described. Seller should have packaged it better, especially for the price.
