Mrs. Gaskell's excellent Life of Charlotte Bronte roused a furor because of its candid statements about the Bronte family, particularly concerning the excesses of Branwell. Bronte, the English writer noted for her novel Jane Eyre, who along with her sisters Anne Bronte and Emily Bronte, were almost as famous for their short, tragic lives as for their novels.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
