Written shortly after Brontë’s death, it offers a detailed and sympathetic portrayal of her life, from her quiet upbringing in Haworth to her literary success and personal tragedies. Gaskell, a fellow novelist and friend, aimed to protect Charlotte’s reputation while shedding light on her struggles, including isolation, grief, and societal expectations. Blending factual detail with emotional insight, the biography helped shape Brontë’s legacy and remains a valuable account of one of Victorian literature’s most influential figures.
