The Brontë Myth by Lucasta Miller

3.0

Engagingly and accessibly written. Miller charts the growth and permutations of the mythology surrounding the Bronte sisters, from the landmark biography of Charlotte written shortly after her death by novelist Elizabeth Gaskell to various biographies, films, novels, and pilgrimmages. Interesting both for the light it sheds on the Brontes and for its perspective on the relative knowableness-unknowableness of any biographical subject.
