Riassunto:

This is a biography of Anne Bronte, the often underrated sister of Charlotte and Emily. It makes imaginative use of recent research to redefine the personal and artistic relationship between Anne and her sisters, especially Emily. It emphasizes the five-year period when Anne is known to have been away from Haworth - a period in which she was struggling to accustom herself to a different culture and environment. Edward Chitham produces new evidence about Anne's life away from home and re-examines the traumatic period before and after Branwell's "disgrace". It modifies the conventionally held view of Agnes Grey and reviews the evidence for Anne's relationship with William Weightman. This is a biography for readers as much as scholars. It wears its learning lightly and provides an elegant and original life of one of the remarkable Bronte sisters.
