A beautifully preserved antique edition of The Brontës and Their Circle by Clemont Shorter, part of the beloved Wayfarer’s Library series by J.M> Dent. This early 20th-century biography explores the lives of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë through their relationships, correspondence, and literary peers.

Inside, you’ll find a portrait engraving of Charlotte Brontë, fairy-decorated endpapers, and poignant reflections on Emily’s final days. Shorter, a noted Victorian editor and critic, pieces together a reverent portrait of the Brontës inner world.

A special piece for literary collectors this edition brings both depth and charm with its ornamental typography, soft-toned paper, and enduring insight into the Brontës mythos.

Condition

Well-worn but intact antique condition. The spine shows minor fraying and slight separation at the top, consistent with age. Pages clean and legible with some natural yellowing and foxing. Structurally sound and full of charm.
