Handwritten manuscript of 'Jane Eyre' on display in the United States for the first time.



The brief life of Charlotte Bronte will be the focus of an exhibition at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City, where the original handwritten manuscript of Bronte's Jane Eyre will take center stage. It'll be on display in the United States for the first time in the book's 169-year history.

At least half of this is real writing.


Why so long to get around to it? I don't know. Why did it take so long for Charlotte Bronte to get to the point in her books? Why did every character take forever to fall in love?

I'm guessing this is all long-form synergy.
