Abstract
In this chapter Maier argues that from the moment in which they published pseudonymously as Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, the sisters—Emily, Anne, and particularly Charlotte Bronte—became complicit in a masquerade of identity that provoked intense speculation on the part of readers and critics. The need to “know” her has led to various representations in her desire to be both unknown and forever known. Biographies of the author by Gaskell, Gerin, Barker, Miller, and Harman are considered.
