The Brontës in Their Own Voices

Setting new standards in literary biography, Juliet Barker’s The Brontës earned her a reputation as the foremost authority on Yorkshire’s literary family. To mark the bicentenary of Charlotte’s birth, Barker has produced The Brontës: A Life in Letters. Using selected correspondence written by Charlotte, Emily, Anne and their brother Branwell, a close-knit family is revealed, including elegiac tributes by Charlotte to her beloved siblings.
