Elizabeth Gaskell's The Life of Charlotte Bront "e (1857) is a pioneering biography of one great Victorian woman novelist by another. Gaskell was a friend of Charlotte Bronte's and, having been invited to write the official life, determined both to tell the truth and to honour her friend.

This is a nicely organized biography on Charlotte Bronte. The author goes into deep discussion of the culture at the time. I read this for a class and had some trouble finishing the book due to my own dislike of Bronte. I never liked the Bronte sisters' books. The biography is enjoyable even if not a fan of Charlotte Bronte. I can admit it was well written and well organized.
