Summary expansion
The novelist Elizabeth Gaskell had access to a great number of Charlotte Bronte's letter while doing research for her biography, and this intimate access, coupled with Gaskell's literary talents, made her biography very captivating. However, Gaskell's account highlights Charlotte's suffering and self-denial, without doing justice to Charlotte's vitality
