De zusters Brontë schreven zeven romans. Beroemd werden vooral 'Jane Eyre' en 'Wuthering Heights'. Ze beschrijven daarin, revolutionair voor de negentiende eeuw, het innerlijke leven van vrouwen die op romantische wijze hunkeren naar liefde en geestelijke onafhankelijkheid, maar die ook om sociale en politieke vrijheid vragen en vechten tegen de Victoriaanse moraal. Juliet Barker laat in deze biografie de wereld zien waarin de Brontës hun romanpersonages plaatsten : een Engeland dat aan het veranderen is, waarbij de oude scheidslijnen tussen arbeiders- en middenklasse, tussen man en vrouw, onder druk staan. Maar ook de verhoudingen tot elkaar, tot hun vader, tot hun broer, tot mannen, worden in dit boek minutieus beschreven, en gestaafd door een schat aan historische gegevens.

Orphaned and dependent on the charity of unsympathetic relatives, Wordsworth became the archetypal teenage rebel. He went to Revolutionary France, where he fathered an illegitimate daughter and became a committed republican. His poetry was as revolutionary as his politics, challenging convention in form, style, and subject, and earning him the contempt of critics. Only the encouragement of a group of supporters, above all Coleridge, kept him true to his poetic vocation. In the half-century that followed, his reputation was transformed. His advocacy of imagination and feeling touched a chord in an increasingly industrial, mechanistic age, and his influence was profoundly felt in every sphere of life. In the last decade of his life, his home became a place of pilgrimage for people who came to pay their respects to his genius. His legacy, as a poet and as the spiritual founder of the conservation movement, remains with us today.--From publisher description.
