Introduction

(

Using fiction to explore further his investigation into the Bront�s' lives, noted true-crime author James Tully creates a murder mystery darker than anything produced by their imaginations and reveals a hidden side to their literary myth. In 1845, Rev. Arthur Bell Nicholls came to Haworth Parsonage to be the new curate. His arrival ignited the passions beneath the four Bront� siblings' isolated life on the Yorkshire moors. Within two years, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Agnes Grey were published. Two years after that, Branwell, Emily, and Anne were dead. By 1855, Charlotte was also dead, after barely a year of marriage to Nicholls. The causes of their demise have never been fully investigated but simply incorporated into the Bront� myth. Told through the parsonage maid, Martha Brown, The Crimes of Charlotte Bront� penetrates the claustrophobic world where the Bront� sisters wrote their stories of tumultuous passions and twisted love.
