Sommario/riassunto |
|
The first biography of the author of Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall in over half a century. Anne Bronte, the youngest and most enigmatic of the Bronte sisters, remains a bestselling author nearly two centuries after her death. The brilliance of her two novels - Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - and her poetry belies the quiet, yet courageous girl who often lived in the shadows of her more celebrated sisters. Yet her writing was the most revolutionary of all the Brontes, pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable. This revealing new biography opens Anne's most private life to a new audience and shows the true nature of her relationship with her sister Charlotte. SELLING POINTS: * Feature length film of the Brontes to be screened in April 2016, the beginning of a five-year programme of Bronte events * Challenges the idea of Anne and her sister Charlotte had a close relationship and reveals rivalry between them * Bronte Society has over 2,000 members in the UK and the Haworth Museum has 75,000 visitors per year 16 b/w illustrations |
