内容简介
Daniel Pool, author of the bestselling What Jane Ate and Charles Dickens Knew,? brilliantly turns his keen eye to England's great Victorian novelists themselves, to reveal the surprising private side of their human genius.From literary superstar Charles Dickens, whose domestic scandals were fodder for early gossip columnists to the shy, introverted Charlotte Bronte, who battled rumors about being Thackeray's mistress, Dickens' Fur Coat and Charlotte's Unanswered Letters is a delightful book for anyone has been caught in the spell of Jane Eyre, Great Expectations or Middlemarch--and longed to peer behind the heavy drapery of Victorian propriety at the private lives of these master storytellers as they battled their publishers and won the devotion of an avid reading public.
