Extract

The existence of voluminous Brontë juvenilia has long been known. Anyone who has read Mrs. Gaskell's Life of Charlotte Brontë must remember the astonishing list of twenty-two ‘books’ therein enumerated as having been completed by August 3, 1830, near the end of Charlotte's fourteenth year. Mr. Clement K. Shorter continues the list through 1839, bringing the number of titles up to forty. To these may be added from sources not included in his list an almost equal number of sketches and fragments, making a total which in volume approximates the author's published works.
