which this book would have beeneven longer in the writing;and to the staff of the Bronte Parsonage Library,Haworth,and of the English Faculty Library and University Library in Cambridgefor their unfailing helpfulness.  \nLike allfuture Bronte scholars,Iowe an immense debt to Margaret Smith,whosethoughtful,scrupulous,and erudite edition of Charlotte Bronte's letters has at lastmade it possible to reconstruct something of her subject's intellectual life.I amgrateful too to Juliet Barker,whose biography of the Bronte family is a similarly in-dispensable resource,for her readiness to answer questions.Kim Scott Walwyn'sbeliefin the project,her quick intelligence,and her generosity of spirit have been aconstant inspiration to me.My debts to other friends are too numerous to record,but I should like to single out for special thanks Marilyn Butler,Anne Green,JillMatus,Claire MacDonald and David Trotter,each of whom read portions of themanuscript and made helpfulsuggestions.Above all,I should like to thank StephenFender,who read and commented thoughtfully on the whole.  \nThis book is dedicated to my sons,each of whom in his different way played avery large part in its shaping.
