Notes

Margaret Smith is an Honorary Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Research in the Humanities, University of Birmingham.



The second volume of "The Letters of Charlotte Brontë" is as magnificent a work as we might expect from Margaret Smith, the editor of the first . . . a richness of editorial commentary and reference that is always enlightening and gripping . . . the most complete collection of letters by and to the Brontës, and, without doubt, the definitive one. . . .
