Mary Taylor, Friend of Charlotte Bronte: Letters… by Mary Taylor

Interesting piece of Brontëana but not recommended unless you know a good bit of Charlotte Brontë's biography. Mary Taylor was (with Ellen Nussey) one of Charlotte's two BFFs from Roe Head (Charlotte's second boarding school, not to be confused with Cowan Bridge, the model for Jane Eyre's Lowood Institute). The Taylor family was memorialized as the Yorke family in Shirley, with Mary as Rose Yorke.
