What is The Bronts: Wild Genius on the Moors: The Story of a Literary Family about?

**A "brilliant" biography of the Bront family, dispelling popular myths and revealing the true story of Emily, Anne, Charlotte, and their father (__The Independent on Sunday__).** The tragic story of the Bront family has been told many times: the half-mad, repressive father; the drunken, drug-addicted brother; wildly romantic Emily; unrequited Anne; and "poor Charlotte." But is any of it true? These caricatures of the popular imagination were created by amateur biographers like Elizabeth Gaskell who were more interested in lurid tales than genuine scholarship. Juliet Barker's landmark book is the first definitive history of the Bronts. It demolishes the myths, yet provides startling new information that is just as compelling--but true. Based on firsthand research among all the Bront manuscripts and among contemporary historical documents never before used by Bront biographers, this book is both scholarly and compulsively readable. __The Bronts__ is a revolutionary picture of the world's favorite literary family.
