The Brontë Myth
Pocketbok.
Mycket gott skick.
"[Format: 13 x 20 cm.] Vintage Books, London 2002. (XV) (1) 320 pages in publisher's large pocket book with semi-coated covers and ""Brontë Myth"" imprinted in lustrous purple on the front cover. The book is photo illustrated in black and white, on 8 glossy paper pages. --- Synopsis: Following the Brontë sisters through their many reincarnations at the hands of biographers, Lucasta Miller reveals as much about the impossible art of biography as she does about the Brontës themselves. Their first biographer, Mrs Gaskell, transformed their story of literary ambition into one of the great legends of the 19th century, a dramatic tale of three lonely sisters playing out their tragic destiny on top of a windswept moor. Lucasta Miller reveals where this image came from and how it took such a hold on the popular imagination.
Each generation has rewritten the Brontës to reflect changing attitudes - towards the role of the woman writer, towards sexuality, towards the very concept of personality. The Brontë Myth gives vigorous new life to our understanding of the novelists and their culture. It is a witty, erudite and refreshingly unsentimental unravelling of what Henry James described as ""the most complete intellectual muddle ever achieved on a literary question by our wonderful public."" --- Contents are lightly age toned. Other flaws are very few and tiny."
