The Young Men's Magazine
[2] The Brontë siblings began writing prose and poetry related to their paracosmic fantasy world in the 1820s, and in December 1827 produced a novel, Glass Town.[4] Its name changed to Blackwood's Young Men's Magazine when Charlotte took it over in 1829; six volumes were published over the next six months.What the magazine borrowed especially from Blackwood's was its alternating between serious and satirical points of view, a dynamic Charlotte apparently found very attractive—she wrote, for instance, a series of contributions for two opposite frequent contributors to her magazine, "the sentimental Marquis of Douro and the sardonic Lord Charles Wellesley",[3] sons of the Duke of Wellington, both of whom also figure in the plays she writes.The museum was able to purchase this book with the help of a robust fundraising campaign which was supported by such celebrities as Dame Judi Dench, president of the Brönte Society.[12] The story is a precursor to an episode found much later, in Jane Eyre, "the famous passage ... in which Mr Rochester's insane wife, who is kept in the attic, seeks revenge by setting fire to his bed curtains".
