BOOK REVIEW: ‘Jane Austen: The Secret Radical’

By Claire Hopley

This undated image made available by The British Library in London, Friday, May 16, 2014, shows Charlotte Bronte's earliest known effort at writing, a short story written for Anne, the baby of the family. It it also the first of the little books made by the Bronte children and, as such, it does not reach the level of technical sophistication that they were later to achieve. The writing is a clumsy longhand, there is no title page or contents list and no attempt is made to imitate magazine format. The British Library is putting hundreds of its most valuable literary resources online, from the Bronte sisters’ childhood writings to William Blake’s notebook. (AP Photo/The British Library)
