Bronte (Charlotte, "Currer Bell"). Shirley. A Tale, 3 volumes, 1st edition, London: Smith, Elder & Co., 1849, half-titles discarded and without 16 pages publisher's catalogue at rear of volume 1, volume 3 with 3 pages of publisher's catalogue present, modern bookplate of Brian Fenwick-Smith, all edges gilt, late 20th century dark green crushed morocco gilt by Bayntun (Riviere) of Bath, 8vo, housed together in green cloth-covered slipcase (Qty: 3) Sadlier 348; Smith 5 pp.112-117. Charlotte had begun writing Shirley in the spring of 1848, still buoyed by the success of Jane Eyre. Writing though would not come as easily to her as it did previously and progress was ultimately stalled by the loss of her three siblings in less than a year. Charlotte persevered however and the novel was published in October 1846.
