This is the first volume of Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell’s 1957 biography of Charlotte Brontë, 'Charlotte Brontë - A Monograph'. The first biography of this seminal literary figure ever written, this volume provides a fantastic and unique insight into Charlotte’s life and mind, making it a must-read for fans of her work and those with an interest in literary history. Emily Jane Brontë (1818 - 1848), also known under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, was an English poet and novelist best known for her only novel and classic of English literature, 'Wuthering Heights'. She was the third-oldest of the four Brontë siblings who survived into adulthood. Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, (1810 -1865) commonly known as Gaskell, was an English biographer, novelist, and writer of short stories famous for her authentic depictions of Victorian society. Other notable works by this author include: 'Cranford' (1851-53), 'North and South' (1854), and 'Wives and Daughters' (1865). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this classic volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of literature lovers now and for years to come.
