The Clue to the Brontës

By G. Elsie Harrison

Book Overview

First published in 1948, this title was written in part as response to a previous biography of Charlotte Bront by Mrs Gaskell. The author argues that Gaskell's biography gets it all wrong. Harrison draws connections between Patrick Bront and John Wesley. She finds Gaskell paid too much attention to gossip and did not verify her facts.
