Indeed she was persuaded to do so by Charles Dickens, an enthusiast for the form who had also... A two volume collection of one of the finest female authors of Gothic ghost stories

The Life of Charlotte Bronte
ISBN: 9780140434934 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Elizabeth Gaskell's biography of her close friend Charlotte Bronte was published in 1857 to immediate popular acclaim, and remains the most significant study of the enigmatic author who gave Jane Eyre the subtitle An Autobiography. It recounts Charlotte Bronte's life from her isolated childhood, through her years as a writer who had 'foreseen the single life' for herself, to her marriage at thirty-eight and death less than a year later. The resulting work - the first full-length biography of a woman novelist by a woman novelist - explored the nature of Charlotte's genius and almost...
