It describes the castle as it was in the 1820s and compares it to the description of Thornfield Hall in Jane Eyre.","PeriodicalId":230905,"journal":{"name":"Brontë Society Transactions","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123739719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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).

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.","PeriodicalId":230905,"journal":{"name":"Brontë Society Transactions","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116840445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":230905,"journal":{"name":"Brontë Society Transactions","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132211166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
