The Bronte Myth | 
panVery dense, especially the last third or so. I can‘t say I‘ve read any other metabiographies, as the author describes the genre, so perhaps this is par for the course. I did learn some things, though.

pickChronicling the Brontes, esp. Charlotte and Emily, from Charlotte's rise to fame and Elizabeth Gaskell's questionable biography onward. Miller does incredible research into books, films & etc about the Brontes these past several decades. Much of it showcases societal biases rather than truth about their work. Although they can never fully be known, Miller encourages us to see them as well learned, intentional artists. Must read for Bronte fans!
For freebie #FunFridayPhoto! I'm in the middle of my "Bronte reading month," which will actually take me longer than a month cos I read slow and checked out too much from the library. I got this one from the used bookstore in Berryville, VA! I'm particularly excited because it focuses on the enduring legacy of the Bronte sisters--what their work has meant to scholars and readers since the Victorian age. @Liberty
