Everybody knows Charlotte Bronte. World-famous for her novel Jane Eyre, she’s a giant of literature and has been written about in reverential tones in scores of textbooks over the years. But what do we really know about Charlotte?
In this bicentennial year,Charlotte Bronte Revisited looks at Charlotte through 21st-century eyes.Discover her private world of convention, rebellion and imagination, and how they shaped her life, writing and obsessions – including the paranormal, nature, feminism and politics. It’s a celebration of all things Charlotte Bronte, and emphatically shows why she’s as relevant today as she ever was.
Sophie Franklin is forging a successful academic career studying the lives of the Bronte sisters and their literary works. She has worked in an editorial capacity for a small publishing house and in bookselling, and is currently at the University of Durham, working towards a PhD on aspects of Charlotte Bronte’s writing. This is Sophie’s first book.
