Reviews
" Charlotte Brontë: A Fiery Heart is a moving and intimate portrait of a troubled genius. Blessed with a wealth of new material, this is a beautifully written and exceptionally engaging biography. Charlotte Brontë has a new champion and her name is Claire Harman." --Dr. Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire "Claire Harman's book captures all of Charlotte Brontë's idiosyncrasies, her brilliance and her oddness, as seen through the mind of a scrupulous and perceptive biographer. Thanks to Harman, we discover Brontë's contradictions and beguilements as she courageously acts on a trust beyond herself, the details of her life forcefully accumulating both mystery and meaning." --Susanna Moore, author of One Last Look and The Life of Objects "[Harman] vividly portrays a life of loneliness, anguish, tragedy, and suppressed rage in serene and elegant prose with frequent flashes of ironic hum∨ the underlying scholarship is extensive but never obtrusive. A delightfully engaging biography of a highly talented but deeply troubled prodigy of English literature." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Fresh, vigorous ... Drawing on prodigious research, both old and new, Harman creates an expert portrait of life at Haworth Parsonage and of its eccentric inhabitants ... In telling Charlotte's story anew, Harman has created a work that will appeal both to readers meeting the Brontë clan for the first time and to those already steeped in their lore." -- Publishers Weekly "'There's a fire and a fury raging in that little woman,' Thackeray observed of Charlotte Brontë. 'She has a story and a great grief that has gone badly with her.' Harman tells the story with quick wit, a sharp sympathy, and a fire and fury of her own." --Frances Wilson, Evening Standard "Harman's narration of [the] devastating events [of Charlotte's life] is elegant, sensitive, beautifully paced and moving. She has . . . produced a work that is affirmative, edifying, inspiring and humane." --Matthew Adams, Sunday Express "[An] excellent new bicentennial biography . . . Ms. Harman writes with warmth and a fine understanding of Ms. Brontë's literary significance. Above all, she is a storyteller, with a sense of pace and timing, relish for a good scene and a wry sense of humor." -- The Economist "Elegantly written, consistently perceptive . . . [Harman] succeeds in bringing Charlotte back to life in all her spiky vulnerability." --John Preston, The Daily Mail "As someone who once wrote a book about the Brontës' afterlives, few people can have read as many biographies of them as I have. I thought I was Brontë-ed out, but reading this book--which will be equally accessible to someone coming to Charlotte for the first time--has drawn me back in." --Lucasta Miller, The Independent "Three rounds of applause . . . for Claire Harman's superb retelling of Charlotte's story." --Mark Bostridge, The Spectator "Finely judged and authoritative." -- Sunday Times "A retooled classic biographical narrative, shipshape and serviceable for the next 200 years." --Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian, "'There's a fire and a fury raging in that little woman,' Thackeray observed of Charlotte Brontë. 'She has a story and a great grief that has gone badly with her.' Harman tells the story with quick wit, a sharp sympathy, and a fire and fury of her own." --Frances Wilson, Evening Standard "Harman's narration of [the] devastating events [of Charlotte's life] is elegant, sensitive, beautifully paced and moving.

Synopsis
On the two hundredth anniversary of her birth, a landmark biography transforms Charlotte Bront from a tragic figure into a modern heroine. Charlotte Bront famously lived her entire life in an isolated parsonage on a remote English moor with a demanding father and siblings whose astonishing childhood creativity was a closely held secret. The genius of Claire Harman's biography is that it transcends these melancholy facts to reveal a woman for whom duty and piety gave way to quiet rebellion and fierce ambition. Drawing on letters unavailable to previous biographers, Harman depicts Charlotte's inner life with absorbing, almost novelistic intensity. She seizes upon a moment in Charlotte's adolescence that ignited her determination to reject poverty and obscurity: While working at a girls' school in Brussels, Charlotte fell in love with her married professor, Constantin Heger, a man who treated her as "nothing special to him at all." She channeled her torment into her first attempts at a novel and resolved to bring it to the world's attention. Charlotte helped power her sisters' work to publication, too. But Emily's Wuthering Heights was eclipsed by Jane Eyre, which set London abuzz with speculation: Who was this fiery author demanding love and justice for her plain and insignificant heroine? Charlotte Bront 's blazingly intelligent women brimming with hidden passions would transform English literature. And she savored her literary success even as a heartrending series of personal losses followed. Charlotte Bront is a groundbreaking view of the beloved writer as a young woman ahead of her time. Shaped by Charlotte's lifelong struggle to claim love and art for herself, Harman's richly insightful biography offers readers many of the pleasures of Bront 's own work., On the two hundredth anniversary of her birth, a landmark biography transforms Charlotte Bront from a tragic figure into a modern heroine.
