Soon after their deaths, their first biographer spun the sisters into a picturesque myth of family tragedies and Yorkshire moors. Ever since, these enigmatic figures have tempted generations of readers-Victorian, Freudian, feminist-to reinterpret them, casting them as everything from domestic saints to sex-starved hysterics. In her bewitching \"metabiography,\" Lucasta Miller follows the twists and turns of the phenomenon of Bront-mania and rescues these three fiercely original geniuses from the distortions of legend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucasta Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400078350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400078356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.22w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/06\/2005 pg. 26","brand":"Lucasta Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980295471359,"sku":"9781400078356","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b05f9a84-59aa-4710-9260-12472929e53b.jpg?v=1683249099","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bronte-myth-lucasta-miller-9781400078356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
