The Brontèes : a family writes
The Brontes of Haworth were a prodigiously imaginative literary family. From the earliest manuscripts of Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne - written with a quill pen in a minuscule hand designed to mimic the printed page - to explosive novels, such as 'Wuthering Heights' and 'Jane Eyre', written in adulthood by Emily and Charlotte, the family's writings continue to fascinate. This elegantly designed, fully illustrated publication provides an intimate portrait of a singular family of writers through the manuscripts, rare printed books, personal documents, and private letters preserved in the Bronte collection of the Morgan Library & Museum, one of the world's finest. It accompanies a major exhibition at the Morgan from 9 September 2016 to 2 January 2017. Exhibition: Morgan Library & Museum, NYC, USA (09.09.2016-02.01.2017).

Jane Austen at King’s College, Cambridge
[...]she commissioned Frank Lynn Jenkins (1870–1927) and gave the bust to King’s College in 1907; it now resides in the Library. Three examples can stand for the body of letters received: W. T. M. Snow wrote from The Close, Exeter, to express his “sense of the great loss which the College and all connected with it, as well as the University have sustained” and of Austen Leigh’s “kindly cheery ways, and true hospitality”; Arthur G. Bather wrote from Sunnyside, Winchester, that he found it “hard to think of Kings without one, who always seemed to embody and represent the best and truest characteristics of the place, and who to me personally was so true and so kind a friend”; C. Bryant wrote from Arundel House, Hayling Island, of the late Provost’s “gentle courtesys,” the death of whom was “the snapping of one of the chief links between the present + the past.” The user would sit on the seat and bounce up and down in simulation of horse riding.) The copy of the 1925 edition inscribed and given by Chapman to King’s upon its receipt of the manuscript is one of a special edition of 250 printed on hand-made paper and includes a facsimile page from the manuscript. [...]Anna’s continuation remained incomplete, but it was finally published in 1983 as Jane Austen’s “Sanditon”: A Continuation by her Niece.
