Brontë

Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë were three sisters faced with an ailing father and an alcoholic brother — big problems in a time when women have limited options for financial independence. Despite their family's stormy fortunes, the Brontë sisters resolved to write. To thwart the nineteenth century's double standards, they took the names of men, becoming the Bell brothers.

Their works incited controversy and speculation, while at home, the sisters contended with the rages of Branwell Brontë, their self-destructive sibling. Manuela Santoni presents a time before Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall were known as literary masterpieces, when winds shook the Brontë house and determination held it together. This stunning black and white graphic novel explores the lives of three visionary writers who pursued independence through art.

Description

"Their success, which Santoni inflects with feminist overtones, accelerates Branwell’s disintegration in this telling. Loose linework and a high-contrast b&w palette lend themselves well to the gothic subject matter, portraying dramatic scenes of crows and churchyards alongside the family’s tense exchanges.... Back matter includes a timeline of the Brontës’ lives and notes on character design." — Publishers Weekly
