About this book
Real people and places behind Charlotte Brontë's fiction are what John Malham-Dembleby sets out to identify. His chapters trace the origins of characters such as Heathcliffe, Rochester and Mrs. Dean in Yorkshire life, look at the Brontë family servant Tabitha Aykroyd, and find originals for Gimmerton and the fairy cave. The book treats Wuthering Heights as Charlotte's own work, a view at odds with the usual attribution to her sister Emily. It also covers her Brussels years, the Eugène Sue question, the poems and the Héger portrait, and dates from 1911.
