Charlotte Brontë: A Monograph

"Charlotte Brontë: A Monograph" by T. Wemyss Reid, offers a look into the life of Charlotte Brontë, seeking to reveal a more complete picture of the author than previously presented. Reid aims to highlight the aspects of Brontë's life that have been missed, particularly focusing on her emotional world and moments of happiness often overshadowed by tragedy. Drawing on Brontë's letters to her friend Ellen Nussey, the book portrays Brontë as a dynamic woman who was greatly affected by her life experiences, which she was ready to share, and challenges earlier ideas that she was simply a victim of her circumstances.
