Likes old books & new ideas. Author of The Invention of Charlotte Brontë - her life, death and afterlife. UK paperback in July & US hardcover Aug 2025.
As one of the most contested biographies in history, Elizabeth Gaskell's 1857 biography of Charlotte Brontë remains divisive and is considered biased and unreliable. A new look at the evidence suggests otherwise... thehistorypress.co.uk/article/the-in…
Congratulations 🎉 Based on unseen letters, this gripping biography reveals the passion, grief, and scandal behind Charlotte Brontë’s final years, and the fight to shape her legacy after death. Radical, intimate, and unforgettable. #Biography #CharlotteBrontë
Happy Publication Day to me! My debut book is out in paperback in the UK today from @TheHistoryPress
I've long admired Jane Dunn's magnificent biography of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell, A Very Close Conspiracy. So it rather blows my mind that she's now reading MY biography of two other wonderful women - Charlotte Brontë and Elizabeth Gaskell... 😍
Just arrived, new paperback of acclaimed The Invention of Charlotte Brontë - "closely researched...unbearably poignant...the most gripping Brontë page-turner since Mrs Gaskell". Can't wait. Thank you @GrahamWatson73 @HistoryPress #Bronte #booktwt wood engraving by Eichenberg

Graham, I'm so gripped by your wonderful book I'm grabbing every spare half hour. My view of C Brontë, the epic tragedies & triumphs of her life, her family, work & friendships, is so enriched. The stalking, the celebrity, the myth-making, all utterly fascinating @GrahamWatson73
