The Life of Charlotte Brontë Volume 1 Chapter 7

In which we are gently introduced to the steadfast friendships and solitary pursuits that marked Charlotte Brontë’s early years at home after leaving school, a period coloured by her hopeful yet cautious spirit, intimate family walks upon the moors, and a rich correspondence that reveals much of her character and taste. Among these quiet domestic scenes and reflections on literature and morality, we discern also the stirring ambitions and delicate anxieties that shaped the lives of the Brontë siblings, as they contemplate futures filled with both promise and parting.
