This is the second volume in the critically acclaimed Letters of Charlotte Bront . During the important four years covered in this volume, Charlotte witnessed the success of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, but also endured the deaths of Branwell Bront and Emily, followed by Anne's in May 1849. Haunted by the fear that she also would succumb, Charlotte found salvation in writing Shirley, published in October 1849, and comfort in her friendship and correspondence with Ellen Nussey, with her publishers--especially George Smith--with Mrs. Gaskell, and (for a time) Harriet Martineau. She may also have received a proposal of marriage from Smith, Edler's manager, James Taylor. This volume is fully annotated and introduced by eminent Bront scholar Margaret Smith.
In this volume we share Charlotte Brontë's experience for four crucial years. The success of Jane Eyre and the strange power of Wuthering Heights made the 'brothers Bell' the 'universal theme of conversation'; but privately the family endured the deaths of Branwell Brontë in September and Emily in December 1848, followed by Anne's in May 1849. Haunted by the fear that she also would succumb, Charlotte found salvation in writing Shirley, published in October 1849, and comfort in her friendship and correspondence with Ellen Nussey, with her publishersDSespecially George SmithDSwith Mrs Gaskell, and (for a time) Harriet Martineau. She may also have received a proposal of marriage from Smith, Edler's manager, James Taylor.
In this volume we share Charlotte Brontë's experience for four crucial years, when readers of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights longed to know the identity of the mysterious 'brothers Bell'. But 1848-9 saw the tragic deaths of Branwell, Emily, and Anne Brontë. Charlotte's letters reveal her suffering, her courage in completing Shirley, and her close friendships with her publishers, especially the young and handsome George Smith.
