The Life of Charlotte Brontë Annotated

By: Cleghorn Gaskell, Elizabeth

The Life of Charlotte Bront is the posthumous biography of Charlotte Bront by fellow novelist Elizabeth Gaskell. The first edition was published in 1857, and a major source of the text was the hundreds of letters sent by Bront to her lifelong friend Ellen Nussey. Although quite frank in many places, Gaskell suppressed details of Charlotte's love for Constantin H ger, a married man, on the grounds that it would be too great an affront to contemporary morals and a possible source of distress to Charlotte's still-living friends and family.
