... it on my shelves!) waiting for me. I'm glad to hear it is good! The only Bronte biography I've read is Elizabeth Gaskell's The Life of Charlotte Bronte . I enjoyed it; Gaskell is one of my new favorite authors, and the book is really well-written. The only downside is that she was one of Charlott ...
... good old rant together, and if it so happens that I love it, I shall spam you with reasons why :)
The Gaskell is called The Life of Charlotte Bronte . Fairly straightforward, that.
#105 The Life of Charlotte Bronte by Elizabeth Gaskell
On one hand, it is hard to know how much of this is true. Gaskell wrote The Life 2 years after Bronte died, she was a close friend of Charlotte who was obviously going to paint her dead friend in the best possible light, she was ...
My favorite has always been Charlotte - like many here I've read Jane Eyre more times than I can count, but I'm reading The Life of Charlotte Bronte right now and I'm becoming fascinated by Emily. I'm taking this particular biography with a whole shaker of salt, but based on what Gaskell has to ...
... Rebecca for like the 18th time - a suitably creepy book to read around Halloween. This week, I'm continuing on with The Life of Charlotte Bronte and starting I Capture the Castle.
This week I'm reading The Life of Charlotte Bronte by Elizabeth Gaskell. The edition I have is interesting in that the notes at the back re-add some of the passages that EG edited out in the second and third editions. She really ripped into the Cowan Bridge School at first, only to take those ...
... It made me want to re-read Rebecca - because that's so hard to do ;-) And it made me finally start reading Gaskell's The Life of Charlotte Bronte , and maybe find some less-totally-biased Bronte bios as well. Suggestions appreciated, as always!
I'm reading The Life of Charlotte Bronte by Elizabeth Gaskell, which I think is technically non-fiction, although maybe not the most truthful and unbiased biography.

... times. I will definately give it another try one of these days but I want to try North and South first.
I enjoyed her Life of Charlotte Bronte Although, I think the version I have is an expanded or notated version.

... really heard of Master and Margarita. I think I should know about it.
Have a good day!
So, update time again:
19. The Life of Charlotte Bronte by Elizabeth Gaskell. It's mostly really a list of annotated letters from Charlotte Bronte. It has all sorts of information, since Elizabeth Gas ...
... which I like better; the book or the musical. It's hilarious! Great book.
So now I'm going to read Elizabeth Gaskell's The Life of Charlotte Bronte . Exciting time!

As for Gaskell, I've already read Cranford, North and South, Mary Barton, The Life of Charlotte Bronte , and a number of her shorter works. I started on Wives and Daughters but got distracted by something else, so I've have to get back to it ...
I'm trying to decide between Mary Barton and The Life of Charlotte Bronte . Recommendations?
... on the theme of the fairy tradition, with readings by Stella Gonet and Robert Glenister. With works by Keats, Shelley, Charlotte Bronte , Christina Rossetti and Yeats interspersed with music by Stravinsky, Judith Weir, Schubert, Purcell and Kathryn Tickell.
... or Lawrence Durrell reading the Mitford bio of Zelda Fitzgerald. I love imagining Emily Dickinson reading Gaskill's The Life of Charlotte Bronte , though. And Susan B. Anthony owned Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, but not Woman in the Nineteenth Century by Marga ...
The place to start is probably the earliest : Elizabeth Gaskell's The Life of Charlotte Bronte , written shortly after the subject's death.
... got the full four-volume edition in my TBR-one-of-these-days pile.
I know it can get a little soapy at times, but still, The Life of Charlotte Brontë by Elizabeth Gaskell. I've got Rebecca Fraser's The Brontës : Charlotte Brontë and Her Family in my TBR pile.

I don't know how I feel about Gaskell. I read the Life of Charlotte Bronte and liked the excerpts from the letters much better than her prose. I wasn't sure I could believe her. When I read bronte myth I really got a little pissed at Gaskell. All that said, I really enjoyed Wives and Daught ...
