Eleven years after publishing Charlotte Bronte and Her Circle, Shorter had received additonal materials, allowing him to add a great deal to the wealth of information he had assembled to write the first book. Mrs. Gaskell's copyright had expired, and thus he found he could publish a new book of Bronte letters. The author provides background biographical information and excellent footnotes to the letters. Scattered portraits give visuals to accompany personalities revealed in the letters. Worn red cloth, spine faded. Previous owner signature in each volume. First edition printed September 1908; this is the second edition printed November 1908. Hodder and Staughton. London. 1908. USED. $60.00
