Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Their names are synonymous with some of English literature's most timeless and celebrated novels. However the real-life story of the famous Bront sisters is steeped in even greater controversy and heartbreak than the lives of their tragic characters.In this insightful program the fascinating lives of Charlotte Emily and Anne are vividly illuminated. At a time when the notion of a woman novelist was almost unheard of these intelligent independent and talented sisters perservered in their writing publishing their most famous novels under male pseudonyms. Drawing much of their inspiration from the tragedies they suffered in their own lives the authors of Jane Eyre Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey would sadly not live to reap the financial rewards or th public accoaldes for their distinguished works.Featuring insightful commentary from renowned biographers and literary critics Biography® proudly presents the captivating story behind the legendary Bront sisters.Features:Scene SelectionInteractive MenusSystem Requirements:Run Time: 50 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

5.0 out of 5 stars When The Light Shines Out Of The Darkness, May 9, 2007
Sometimes, when we receive something not expected - it can be a kind of blessing in disguise. This DVD delivers precisely that. The darkness for me was the predictable emphasis upon the greatness of Charlotte Bronte, and her trailblazing literary 'accomplishments' at the expense of Emily Jane - the real light. Still, it was very helpful to know that literary expert-icons featured in the DVD have 'bought into' the Charlotte Bronte myth. But other experts know that the Charlotte Bronte legend, so to speak, was very much created by Charlotte Bronte herself and a conspiracy of close friends; what we might call today the PR launch Charlotte first created for herself and her legacy. At this price, the DVD is a bargain, and if you can purchase "The Brontes of Haworth" on DVD along with the books - "The Heretic" by Stevie Davies as well as "All Alone: The Life and Private History of Emily Jane Bronte" by Romer Wilson - the latter comprise a start to de-mythicizing (if that is a word...) Charlotte in order to bring the truly brightest light of Emily Jane's genius out of the darkness at last.
