Charlotte Brontë Revisited

Sophie Franklin is forging an academic career studying the Brontë sisters and their literary works, after receiving a First from St Andrews University and a Distinction in her MLitt from the University of Durham – where she also co-organised a Brontë conference in 2017. She has worked in bookselling and in an editorial capacity for a small publishing house.

`Interweaves biography and reference to scholarly material with [Franklin’s] own take on pertinent aspects of Charlotte’s oeuvre ... [Her] witty tone makes the calibration of these two things — the pleasure of the literary enthusiastic and the scholarly — both easy and enjoyable. Franklin deftly mixes contemporary humour with reflectivity ... superbly written, exuberant.’
