Abstract This article outlines the life of Ann Evans who was superintendent teacher of the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge, Lancashire, when four of the five Brontë sisters attended. She was the model for 'Miss Temple' in Jane Eyre. An outline is also given of the life of Ann's husband, the Revd James Connor, and their life together. Parallels are drawn between the fictional 'Miss Temple' and Ann Evans. Her influence on Charlotte Brontë is considered. Unpublished research material by Rosemary Outram has been drawn upon for the lives of Ann and James. The underlying theme of the Moravian presence, over a wide time span, demonstrates how the tightly knit Connor family with its common religious heritage, crosses the paths of the Brontë family and associates.

Is it just a coincidence that in a drama entitled La Gloria by the Italian author Gabriele D' Annunzio there exists a character named Cesare Bronte (without the diaeresis)? The tragedy, written in 1899, was not at all successful when performed that year for the first time on the Italian stage, despite including the most famous actress of the time, Eleonora Duse, in the cast. It gained some success in 1912 and 1928, but La Gloria is still one of the least popular of all D' Annunzio's plays and is rarely performed. The only interesting parts in it are the first two acts in which the author introduces the character of Cesare Bronte, an old soldier on his death-bed, who is pervaded (in Act II) by a sudden frenzy of passion for a woman, Camnena by name, whom he knows betrayed him even before his death. The key to the drama is the character's desperate attempt to gain the woman's attentions once more, but without any success. It is this somehow pitiful effort by the once respected and loved Cesare Bronte that reminds us of the same pitiful situation in which Branwell found himself in his last months of life when, ill and friendless, he tried in vain to attract Lydia Robinson's attention to his miseries. Perhaps D' Annunzio had read some of the Bronte biographies, or had heard of the sad story of the family. Whatever the reason, he certainly chose an interesting and puzzling surname for his dying hero. Maddalena De Leo, Ascea Marina (SA), Italy

Abstract Anne Lister and Emily Brontë lived within a mile of each other during the winter of 1838–39. Biographers and novelists alike have wanted a relationship between diarist and novelist. Though scant evidence of Emily Brontë's Law Hill winter survives, Anne Lister's vividly detailed diaries offer evidence to answer questions that have long concerned Brontë writers. First, did Anne and Emily know each other? Did they inhabit the same world? Second) given the significance of Emily Brontë's Law Hill winter in later inspiring Wuthering Heights, does the Anne Lister evidence now available help us re-read that brilliant yet puzzling novel?

Abstract This article explores what are seen as the sensory and affective dimensions of Charlotte Brontë's fiction, both in terms of the ways in which she organizes the scenes and plots of her novels, and in terms of the effects of her language. The discussion surveys passages from The Professor, Villette, Jane Eyre, and Shirley in relation to these physical and passional concerns. The article draws on the work of Gilles Deleuze in describing the unconscious as a power of embodied intelligence and sympathy.
