Abstract For the very first time, a full edition of Branwell's works enables us to understand the Glasstown epic he and Charlotte started in 1827 when they were children, and were still obsessed by ten years later when they were grown up. Initiating myths and personae central to the Brontë canon, Branwell emerges as a literary prodigy possessed of tremendous energy and visionary power.

Abstract This article interrogates class definition in two nineteenth-century novels: Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte Brontë's The Professor. In my analysis of The Professor I draw attention to Charlotte Brontë's preface as a point of departure from which to criticize the novel's ostensible realism. In Wuthering Heights, I argue, certain characters masquerade as members of the working class while signifying something much different. I show that whereas Wuthering Heights conceals within it a nostalgic desirefor an England where the industrial working class as an identifiable, organizable body does not yet exist, in The Professor it is precisely their existence that constitutes that novel's 'not said.' I conclude by arguing that on the one hand Emily Brontë contains her unease by retreating into the past, whereas Charlotte Brontë evidences an unease with a sector of society whose existence can never be disputed. She camouflages it not only by privileging the virtues of capitalism but also by showing that it is members of the capitalist class that will inherit an idealized and sanitized England.

Abstract In this paper we will show that the fictional character, Miss Scatcherd, in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, was probably based on two teachers at the Clergy Daughters' School, Cowan Bridge, at the time of Charlotte's attendance there in 1824–25. One of these was Miss Anna Andrews, the head teacher, and the other was an unknown underteacher. We will also show that the more sadistic characteristics of Miss Scatcherd were drawn not from Miss Andrews, but from the underteacher who supervised the girls' dormitory. We will then give an account of Miss Andrews' life after she left the Clergy Daughters' School; her history will refute the contention that she was the wicked bully described by Charlotte Brontë.

Abstract The recent sale of a letter of Charlotte Brontë with its reference to Lady Morgan draws attention to an author well-known in her day but now almost forgotten. It is a brief reminder that there were women active in the early decades of the nineteenth century for whom writing became a profession and who contributed to the rich and varied developments of nineteenth-century literature.

Once their novels had been published -and it took some time for the literary pundits in London to recognize their genius -the Bronte sisters quickly attracted the attention of the leading critics and writers of their time. Their publisher, George Smith, writers William Thackeray and Charles Kingsley, politician W. E. Forster, and of course, Elizabeth Gaskell, were all early admirers. After her sisters' deaths, Charlotte was lionized by the London literary world and met many well-known figures such as Wordsworth's son-in-law, Edward Quillinian, and Matthew Arnold during her visits to London and at Harriot Martineau's house in the Lake District. Despite chronic shyness in company, Charlotte was blunt and outspoken in her letters, frequently passing unfavourable comments on the literati she met. An unswerving provincial and possessing a puritanical cast of mind, she regarded some -if not most -of the literary figures she met as effete. Her first impression of Matthew Arnold was that 'though striking and pre-possessing in appearance, his manner displeases from its seeming foppery' . However, he improved on better acquaintance, though I suspect she regarded most of the London set as fops. Perhaps this was a reaction against her brother's imitating them. She spoke contemptuously of the 'minor Guerillas [the peasant Spanish freedom fighters against Napoleon] and Bohemians of Letters' she met; and with great distaste of Charles Dickens, whose ostentation she disliked. But despite the occasional irritation with Thackeray when he toadied to the aristocracy, she remained a fervent admirer of him. He later wrote a preface to the two chapters of her unfinished novel The Last Sketch in a posthumous article in the Cornhill Magazine. After their deaths, interest in the Brontes grew rapidly, and following the publication of Mrs Gaskell's Life of Charlotte Bronte in 1857, their fame snowballed on both sides of the Atlantic. A steady stream of visitors found their way to Haworth and turned into a flood which hasn't abated yet. 1
