![]() My favorite moment in Brontë’s life story is when, as a student, she gets in trouble for scaring another girl with a story late at night in a school dormitory, when they’re all supposed to be asleep. Charlotte has ambitions of writing and publish, and this seems to carry her sisters along later in life as they struggle to work as teachers and governesses. She and her remaining sisters and brother have vivid imaginations and make up stories together. ![]() Her father sent her to school, hoping to make her into a teacher and prepare her for her future. The story then flashes back to her family life at Haworth Parsonage where, as a child, she lost not only her mother but her two older sisters in the space of a few years. This graphic novel opens in 1837 with Charlotte Brontë receiving a letter from Robert Southey warning her against writing for celebrity. 92pp plus a postscript, discussions of source material for pages, and a bibliography. Charlotte Brontë before Jane Eyre by Glynnis Fawkes. ![]()
