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.
