| Summary | "Charlotte Brontë and Her Circle" by Clement King Shorter is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and relationships of Charlotte Brontë, her family, and her contemporaries, adding new insights and letters that have not been previously published. The work seeks to present a more nuanced understanding of Charlotte and her sisters, challenging the notions established by earlier biographies, particularly that of Mrs. Gaskell. The opening of the book begins with a preface where Shorter acknowledges the contributions of various individuals who assisted him in compiling the new material about the Brontës. He expresses gratitude to friends and family who provided letters and information, highlighting the significance of these documents in painting a fuller picture of Charlotte's life. Additionally, the preface transitions smoothly into an overview of key figures in the Brontë family, including an exploration of Patrick Brontë and Maria Branwell, before launching into detailed accounts of Charlotte’s life and literary journey. Overall, the opening establishes the book's ambition to deepen the reader's appreciation of the Brontë sisters' literary legacy and the complexities of their lives, marked by personal struggles and creativity.
