A Life of Emily Bronte by Edward Chitham
Biographical material on Emily Bront is scarce. In the past, biographers have taken this as an excuse to portray intuition as fact, creating a confused and inaccurate image of the author of Wuthering Heights. In A Life of Emily Bront , Edward Chitham searches diligently for the truth. He describes his book as an 'investigative biography', delving into Emily's childhood, her relationships with her family, her father's Irish roots, and the influences of her friends and acquaintances. Using material neglected by other biographers, Chitham makes an illuminating and scholarly study of the events and characters that shaped Emily's inspiration - a puzzle that has confounded many and made her, up to this point, an enigmatic and misrepresented figure.
Edward Chitham was a Senior Lecturer in Education at Dudley College of Education, before moving on to work for the Open University and for Newman College, Birmingham. He has published widely on subjects such as the Brontes and on the Dudley's history.
