Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark work of literary biography, Anne Brontë by Winifred Gérin presents the definitive life of the youngest and most overlooked of the famous Brontë sisters. Drawing on meticulous archival research, Gérin chronicles Anne's remarkable journey from her sheltered childhood at Haworth Parsonage to her career as a governess and her emergence as a bold, independent novelist. The biography illuminates the life behind groundbreaking works such as The Tenant of Wildfell Hall — a novel so radical in its critique of Victorian marriage that her sister Charlotte attempted to suppress it after Anne's death. Written with scholarly authority and narrative grace, Gérin restores Anne Brontë to her rightful place as a courageous and original voice in nineteenth-century English literature.
