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.

Precisely, those moors. In his youth, the Count visited that wild landscape and, in 1933, made a series of drawings based on her gripping novel. Some say that he saw himself as Heathcliff. Sixty-one years later, and after creating a vast array of famous paintings, many reminiscent of those drawings, Balthus agreed in 1994 to have The Limited Editions Club present, for the first time in their destined context, the entire suite of fifteen drawings" (Publisher).
