The result, a tell-all biography, was so scandalous it was banned and rewritten twice in six months--but not before it had given birth to the legend of the Bront?s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Charlotte Bront?\u003c\/i\u003e presents a different, darker take on one of the most famous women writers of the nineteenth century, showing Charlotte to be a strong but flawed individual.
