Abstract

The names of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell have been “household words” in my family from the days of my boyhood. As I have only time to speak of Charlotte Brontë, I will say at once that while I have a profound admiration for the genius of the writer, I have a feeling almost akin to veneration for the character of the woman. Her life was for the most part a tragedy, and yet her submission to the Divine will never failed. To quote the words of Sir James Kay Shuttleworth, she was “a Christian heroine who could bear her cross with the firmness of a martyr saint.”
