Beschreibung

A renowned Brontë scholar and dress historian's innovative, richly illustrated biography explores Charlotte Brontë's life through her previously unresearched, surviving wardrobe. Collectively, these garments uncover a real, feeling, thinking woman who radically challenges our long-held preconceptions.
