The Letters of Charlotte Brontė: With a Selection of Letters by Family and Friends, Volume II: 1848-1851 - Hardcover
Synopsis
This is the second volume in the critically acclaimed Letters of Charlotte Brontė. 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 Brontė 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 Brontė scholar Margaret Smith.

Review
"Margaret Smith's comprehensive and meticulous edition of The Letters of Charlotte Brontė appears like a banquet of rich and wholesome food for those hitherto condemned to meagre and contaminated scraps. . . . Smith's editorial apparatus is amazingly thorough . . . [it] gives us not only a complete and reliable text, but also an extraordinary wealth of annotation. . . . Volume 2 of Smith's edition of Charlotte Brontė's Letters more than fulfils the expectations raised by volume 1. At last we can read Charlotte's words in as reliable a text as is humanly possible, together with all the contextual information necessary to bring the letters alive with contemporary resonances."--Victorian Studies
