The Brontes: Wild Genius on the Moors: The Story of a Literary Family-Juliet Barker

Avez-vous entendu parler de ce livre?



"After more than 150 yeas, the Brontës remain as fascinating (and inspiring) as ever. They have lost none of their allure. If any writer has earned the final word about their lives, it's Barker, with her triumphant and eloquent book." The Los Angeles Times

"An outstanding achievement. A magnificent portrait which not only contains a wealth of important material, but is also a delight to read. It is hard to imagine it ever being surpassed. Definitive." Rebecca Fraser, The Times (London)

Juliet Barker's landmark book is the first definitive history of the Brontës. It demolishes the myths, yet provides startling new information that is just as compelling-but true. Based on first-hand research among all the Brontë manuscripts and contemporary historical documents never before used by Brontë biographers, this newly revised edition is both scholarly and compulsively readable.
The Brontës is a revolutionary picture of the world's favorite literary family.

"As a work of scholarship it is brilliant. For those with a passion for the Brontës, or for Victoriana, it is a stupendous read." The Independent on Sunday

"Definitive. Barker's greatest service is to rescue the family of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne from myth, who were provided particularly hideous stereotypes by Charlotte's first biographer, Elizabeth Gaskell. The doom and tragedy are there." The Daily Beast

Juliet Barker, author of "Agincourt" and other acclaimed works of history and biography, has a PhD in history from Oxford University and was for six years curator of the Brontë Parsonage Museum at Haworth. She has been involved with all recent research into the Brontës and has made many major new finds that are revealed for the first time in this book.

Je viens de l'acheter. C'est un pavé qui pèse 1 tonne et qui est écrit tout petit mais qu'est ce qu'il a l'air bien!

Ca vous tente? Quelqu'un l'a lu?

Il est dans mon panier depuis un certain temps, mais j'hésite car c'est un tel pavé.
Je pencherai peut-être pour la version papier.
Mais il paraît que c'est une bonne biographie même s'il y a quelques partis pris (j'ai oublié lesquels) comme souvent quand on parle de cette famille.

Moi j'avoue que j'aurai prefere l'ebook. Ms bon le livre a sa place dans ma collection "Brontë"

Tu as raison, je voulais dire la version numérique, mes doigts ont dérapé   

Tes bras et tes yeux te remercieront!
