The most gifted of her famous, troubled family, Emily Bronte has too often been portrayed in “storm-tossed, sentimental” biographies, according to Katherine Frank. Now Frank presents a startling new interpretation: pledged to self-denial and social isolation, Emily starved herself, contributing to her wild imagination. 16-page insert.
