Seller's Description
CHARLOTTE BRONTE: A LIFE by Claire Harman.
In December 1836 Charlotte Bronte wrote to Robert Southey to confide her own literary ambitions. The famous poet replied in a kind, fatherly tone advising the young woman to put aside her dreams of greatness: 'Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life: and it ought not to be.
Charlotte considered this advice carefully before writing back to thank Southey for his guidance, 'Once more allow me to thank you with sincere gratitude, I trust I shall never more feel ambitious to see my name in print: if the wish should rise, I'll look at Southey's letter, and suppress it'
This was a promise she had absolutely no intention of keeping.
