Abstract This paper argues that Thurland Castle, a Gothic manor house near Turnstall Church, is a building that Charlotte Brontë would have seen and is the inspiration for Thornfield Hall in Jane Eyre. It describes the castle as it was in the 1820s and compares it to the description of Thornfield Hall in Jane Eyre.

Abstract In order to overcome the lack of detail we have of Emily Brontë's character, an analysis of the word frequency in her poems was undertaken. The results show her preference for certain categories of word over others. This adds to our understanding of this singular author.

Volume I of this marathon achievement was reviewed in Transactions, volume 24, part I. This is not a review, since a review is planned for the near future. It is more in the nature of a warning. The volumes have proved extremely difficult to get hold of, so potential readers, or the libraries they use, should be warned that getting them may be a lengthy and aggravating process, and since they may not remain in print for long it should be embarked on at once. Those who manage to get sight of the volumes will find everything (except letters) that Branwell wrote which is available in manuscript form today. Here in volume II is the much-cited but little read The Wool is Rising, and also The Life of feild Marshall the Right Honourable Alexander Percy amid much else, while the third volume, from the period when Branwell turned more and more to poetry, has the Horace Odes as well as the article on Bewick that Neufeldt discovered in the Halifax Guardian, and the last, feeble attempt at a novel, And the Weary Are At Rest. When Christine Alexander's last volume is published the Angrian writings will be able to be read chronologically, showing how the one sibling reacted to the other's work, and how each one contributed to the evolving structure of the saga (or soap opera).

Abstract Charlotte Brontië's attitude to Dickens, always ambiguous, crystallized in the months when Vanity Fair began publication, and resulted in her enthusiastic dedication of the second edition of Jane Eyre to Thackeray. She was responding to a swing in critical, but not public, opinion that rejected Dicken's joyful social inclusiveness and puffed Thackeray as representing a less radical social outlook and a more gentlemanly viewpoint and tone. Text of the Annual Brontë Lecture given at Haworth in June 2000.

Abstract Like many accomplished Japanese, Seiko Aoyama, pioneering professor of English literature, author, and translator, is disarmingly modest and soft-spoken. Her thirty-nine-year career, in which she has specialized in the work of the Brontë sisters, has led her to a respected position internationally among scholars of English literature. I first met Professor Aoyama in 1994, when I had the honour of working with her, editing her English-language speeches and correspondence, and helping her maintain her elegantly fluent English conversation. Since I returned to the US in 1996, I have enjoyed a warm correspondence with her. This interview was conducted by post; Professor Aoyama preferred to answer my questions in Japanese, and I have translated them into English. Through her commitment to Brontë scholarship as well as to her students, and through her astute connection of contemporary feminism with the meaning that women's literature of the nineteenth century can have for young Japanese on the brink of the twenty-first century, Seiko Aoyama has made invaluable contributions to young Japanese scholars, to international literary scholarship, and to women's history. As a woman in a country in which women's rights, including education and employment, have been — and still remain today — severely limited, her accomplishments are all the more extraordinary.

Abstract The common perception of Charlotte Brontë's attitude to Roman Catholicism as one of suspicion and distrust, if not straightforward hostility, is superficial and reductive. The atmosphere of the Brontë household was in that respect one of tolerant indifference rather than outspoken criticism, and references in the juvenilia make Roman Catholicism seem exotic rather than dangerous. It was only the experience of her time in Belgium, reflected in The Professor and Villette, that helped Charlotte Brontë to develop a mature response to Roman Catholicism — one in which her overt hostility hides a sense of interest, attraction, and sometimes even fascination with things Catholic.
