These caricatures of the popular imagination were created by amateur biographers like Elizabeth Gaskell who were more interested in lurid tales than genuine scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Juliet Barker’s landmark book is the first definitive history of the Brontës. It demolishes the myths, yet provides startling new information that is just as compelling—but true. Based on firsthand research among all the Brontë manuscripts and among contemporary historical documents never before used by Brontë biographers, this book is both scholarly and compulsively readable.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Brontës\u003c\/i\u003e is a revolutionary picture of the world’s favorite literary family.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Pegasus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140653727984,"sku":"9781453265260","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453265260_p0.jpg?v=1763847190","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453265260","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
