For my wife’s birthday several years ago, I tracked down a copy of Harper’s Weekly from May 16, 1857. It was filled with gossip from the royal houses of Europe; news from various mission fields and Bible societies (including an update on The Reverend Mr. Spurgeon and the state of the Metropolitan Bible Tabernacle), a few long poems, and some ponderous prose. But the article that prompted the purchase was a two-page piece titled “Currer Bell and Her Sisters,” written just two years after Charlotte, the last surviving Brontë sister, died at the age of 38.
