Charlotte Brontë: The Evolution of GeniusWinifred Gerin studies in detail Charlotte Bronte's adolescent writings, preserved in manuscript and explores the wide range of early stimuli which influenced the growth of her precocious talents. She also considered the backgrounds and personalities of Charlotte's acquaintances, with special reference to her relationships with Mrs. Gaskell, and with the Heger family in Belgium. The interaction of experience on intellectual development has been closely followed from childhood to established fame. |
