Book excerpt: A “brilliant” biography of the Brontë family, dispelling popular myths and revealing the true story of Emily, Anne, Charlotte, and their father (The Independent on Sunday). The tragic story of the Brontë family has been told many times: the half-mad, repressive father; the drunken, drug-addicted brother; wildly romantic Emily; unrequited Anne; and “poor Charlotte.” But is any of it true? These caricatures of the popular imagination were created by amateur biographers like Elizabeth Gaskell who were more interested in lurid tales than genuine scholarship. Juliet Barker’s landmark book is the first definitive history of the Brontës. It demolishes the myths, yet provides startling new information that is just as compelling—but true. Based on firsthand research among all the Brontë manuscripts and among contemporary historical documents never before used by Brontë biographers, this book is both scholarly and compulsively readable. The Brontës is a revolutionary picture of the world’s favorite literary family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Brontës It is so easy to be Wise after the event, to shake one's head over a marriage that took place a hundred years ago, and proved to be not a particularly happy one. If Miss Maria Branwell of Penzance, in that summer of 1812, had said No to the Reverend Patrick Bronte, b.a., curate of hartshead-cum-clifton, those six little delicate Brontes would not have been brought into the world at the rate of one a year, and left motherless, to toddle hand-in-hand about the Haworth moors. But then, neither would there have been any Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell there would have been no Bronte novels to be discovered by Messrs. Smith Elder, no Bronte story to tell, no Bronte cult. But Miss Maria Branwell said Yes - a demure little yes, but quite audible and firmly spoken; a pathetic little packet of love-letters survives to tell the tale. And in saying that word she sealed her own fate, and earned her own little niche, by contributing one of its most passionately human chapters to the history of our literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Novels of the Sisters Bronte "Villette" was first published in 1853 - on January 28th. In a letter to Miss Wooler, dated January 27 th, 1858, Charlotte Bronte wrote: "Villette is to be published to-morrow. Its appearance has been purposely delayed hitherto, to avoid discourteous clashing with Mrs. Gaskell's new work." The story was received, as its writer's friend and biographer tells us, "with one burst of acclamation"; but the laudatory notices only served to make the author's heart "swell with thankfulness to Him who takes note both of suffering, and work, and motives." But it seemed fated that each of her books should bring with it some jar in friendship or some disappointment in expectation. "Jane Eyre was the centre of a very vortex of discussion; "Shirley" touched for its writer the weakness in Greorge Henry Lewes's character; and now "Villette" brought forth a review in the Daily News which disappointed her in Harriet Martineau.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Brontes in Ireland: Or, Facts Stranger Than Fiction I trust it is unnecessary to say that I disclaim all responsibility for the Bronte acts, opinions, and sentiments recorded in this book. As no one living could lay claim to Bronte genius, even in its less-cultured condition, no one should be held responsible for the eccentricities of that genius. It is right, however, that I should express my indebtedness to many for generous encouragement and unstinted assistance in setting in order these fragments of an almost forgotten past. In a very special manner I have to acknowledge my obligation to Dr. W. Robertson Nicoll, whose sympathy with the Bronte genius is as profound as his knowledge of the literature is unrivalled. Dr. Nicoll has the rare power of kindling the zeal of others at his own torch, and but for his enthusiasm the story of The Brontes in Ireland would probably never have been published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charlotte Bronte and Her Circle Dear miss nussey, - We had not seen the article in Sharpe, and very possibly should not, if you had not directed our attention to it. We ordered a copy, and have now read the Few Words about Jane Eyre. The writer has certainly made many mistakes, but apparently not from any unkind motive, as he professes to be an admirer of Charlotte's works, pays a just tribute to her genius, and in common with thousands deplores her untimely death. His design seems rather to be to gratify the curiosity of the multitude in reference to one who had made such a sensation in the literary world. But even if the article had been of a less harmless character, we should not have felt inclined to take any notice of it, as by doing so we should have given it an importance which it would not other wise have obtained. Charlotte herself would have acted thus; and her character stands too high to be injured by the state ments in a magazine of small circulation and little influence statements which the writer prefaces with the remark that he does not vouch for their accuracy. The many laudatory notices of Charlotte and her works which appeared since her death may well make us indifferent to the detractions of a few envious or malignant persons, as there ever will be such.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charlotte Bronte, 1816-1916: A Centenary Memorial But what is unanimous, is not so much the warm praise of Charlotte Bronte, in which this band of writers, from their various points of View, ultimately agree, as the testimony they bear to the feeling she still stirs in us - to the delight she still gives to this later generation, after more than half a century. The security of her fame, we see, is, yearly greater, as her star rises surely and steadily to its place in the nineteenth-century heaven. Fluctuations of opinion there have been, and must always be, in the case of those who, like the Brontes, challenge opinion, and, so to speak, take it by force. But it seems to me that the fluctuations are over, and the verdict given. And the members of the Bronte Society, during the last twentyilyears, have certainly helped to make it what it is. Their unworthy President bids them now a grateful farewell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
