Few people seeking to avoid the glare of publicity have had more of it turned on them than Charlotte Brontë's husband, Arthur Bell Nicholls. Some critics have implied that he not only put a stop to her writing but might even have inadvertently caused her death. Alan Adamson's biography takes recent scholarship into account and adds new material about Nicholl's family, education, and early life in Ireland to give a more balanced view. The book explores why Brontë, cool and often hostile towards Nicholls in the early days of his curacy at Haworth, came to respect and love him, and how Patrick Brontë, her difficult father, grew to rely on him after her death. Drawing on Nicholl's correspondence with, among others, Elizabeth Gaskell, Ellen Nussey and Harriet Martineau, Mr Charlotte Brontë: The Life of Arthur Bell Nicholls presents a compelling picture of Nicholls' efforts to emphasize Brontë's literary reputation and curtail speculation about her private life.

A groundbreaking biography that places an obsessive, unrequited love at the heart of the writer's life story, transforming her from the tragic figure we have previously known into a smoldering Jane Eyre. Famed for her beloved novels, Charlotte Brontë has been known as well for her insular, tragic family life. The genius of this biography is that it delves behind this image to reveal a life in which loss and heartache existed alongside rebellion and fierce ambition. Harman seizes on a crucial moment in the 1840s when Charlotte worked at a girls' school in Brussels and fell hopelessly in love with the husband of the school's headmistress. Her torment spawned her first attempts at writing for publication, and he haunts the pages of every one of her novels--he is Rochester in Jane Eyre, Paul Emanuel in Villette. Another unrequited love--for her publisher--paved the way for Charlotte to enter a marriage that ultimately made her happier than she ever imagined. Drawing on correspondence unavailable to previous biographers, Claire Harman establishes Brontë as the heroine of her own story, one as dramatic and triumphant as one of her own novels.
The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte by Syrie James Pdf
"I have written about the joys of love. I have, in my secret heart, long dreamt of an intimate connection with a man; every Jane, I believe, deserves her Rochester." Though poor, plain, and unconnected, Charlotte Bronte possesses a deeply passionate side which she reveals only in her writings—creating Jane Eyre and other novels that stand among literature's most beloved works. Living a secluded life in the wilds of Yorkshire with her sisters Emily and Anne, their drug-addicted brother, and an eccentric father who is going blind, Charlotte Bronte dreams of a real love story as fiery as the ones she creates. But it is in the pages of her diary where Charlotte exposes her deepest feelings and desires—and the truth about her life, its triumphs and shattering disappointments, her family, the inspiration behind her work, her scandalous secret passion for the man she can never have . . . and her intense, dramatic relationship with the man she comes to love, the enigmatic Arthur Bell Nicholls. "Who is this man who has dared to ask for my hand? Why is my father so dead set against him? Why are half the residents of Haworth determined to lynch him—or shoot him?" From Syrie James, the acclaimed, bestselling author of The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen, comes a powerfully compelling, intensely researched literary feat that blends historical fact and fiction to explore the passionate heart and unquiet soul of Charlotte Bronte. It is Charlotte's story, just as she might have written it herself.

Any new light on a personality so intense and interesting as Charlotte Brontë; would be right welcome. As Mr. Reid points out, Mrs. Gaskell labored under certain disadvantages when she wrote the 'Memoir,' too many of the persons directly affected by a full revelation being then living to allow her to write with the complete freedom that is desirable in dealing with such a life. Especially was it impossible to do this while Mr. Brontë lived. And yet she wrote so freely as to involve herself in various difficulties. Mr. Reid's main point, however, is that Mrs. Gaskell not only wrote under certain felt restrictions, but that she framed a stringent theory of her subject's character, and was too intent on making all the facts and documents bend to it. Mr. Reid therefore presents us with a selection from her letters to a school companion, to most of which Mrs. Gaskell did not refer at all, and from some of which she gave mere extracts. He connects these by narrative and running commentary of his own. Mr. Reid has done his work with fine sympathy, care, and enthusiasm, though with sometimes just that slight tendency to over celebration which it is so hard to escape from in such work. His monograph is most attractive and readable throughout, and the public is under no slight obligations to him for it. But we do not feel that his new documents so entirely bear out his theory as we were led to expect. There can be no doubt that the peculiar influences amongst which the Brontës passed their childish days left effects which remained to the end, imparting to all three a strange reserve and morbidity. The vain, selfish father, taking his meals alone; the children left to their own resources, with no sympathetic touch of an elder to draw them out of themselves; the school-life at Cowan Bridge and other places, which confirmed the shy shrinking from their associates; and bitterly the cramped painful life lived in the society of their father and Branwell, the clever wreck-all were to the natures of the Brontës, and especially to that of Charlotte, like some rough surface chafing sensitive exposed flesh, while yet there was a sense of relief in the secret experience derived from each fresh exposure. Into her art she faithfully translated her life; but in her art-in the bulk of 'Jane Eyre,' the 'Professor,' and 'Villette' - do we not see this self-controlled determination to face unshrinkingly the almost morbid contact of the sensitive nerves with that which re-excites them? Along with all the shy shrinking from contact with strangers or the outside world, are we not now and then oppressed with the too naked revelations which Charlotte Brontë afforded of her own morbid experiences? The fascination of her stories, the sustained calmness of them-which mirrored her own calm and self-control -result chiefly from this; and the criticism which was untowardly directed against 'Jane Eyre,' from the moral side, does have some basis when restated from the artistic side. The experience is still too near, too intense, and as yet unveiled by the action of a strong and healthy imagination. In speaking of 'Villette,' Mr. Reid says that every sentence was wrung from her as though it had been a drop of blood, and the book was built up, bit by bit, amid paroxysms of positive anguish, occasioned in part by her own physical weakness and suffering, but still more by the torture through which her mind passed as she pictured scene after scene from the darkest chapter in her own life for the benefit of those for whom she wrote. This condition, did we find no trace of it in the writing itself, would be a powerful testimony to her dramatic genius; but it colors, directly or indirectly, the product, and imparts a certain subjective uniformity of tone, and a painfulness of feeling which fascinates but does not satisfy..... -The British Quarterly Review [1877]
