The Life Of Charlotte Bronte, Volume 1
'The Life Of Charlotte Bronte, Volume 1 ' Summary
Although quite frank in many places, Gaskell suppressed details of Charlotte's love for Constantin Héger, a married man, on the grounds that it would be too great an affront to contemporary morals and a possible source of distress to Charlotte's still-living friends, father Patrick Brontë and husband. She also suppressed any reference to Charlotte's romance with George Smith, her publisher, who was also publishing the biography.
In 2017, The Guardian named The Life of Charlotte Brontë one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time.
