My favorite Brontë story is that the push to get Elizabeth Gaskell to write a biography of Charlotte was in response to an article in Sharpe's London Magazine that Ellen Nussey called "a tissue of malignant falsehoods" -- only, who do you think was responsible for that article? ELIZABETH GASKELL HERSELF. See Juliet Barker, The Brontës (New York: St. Martin's Press, 1995), p. 780 ff.
