The Four Brontes: Myth vs. Reality
ONE of the more poignant curiosities of English literature has journeyed across the Atlantic to be put on display in Manhattan this season. Glowing ethereally within the protective sheathing of a glass case at the Pierpont Morgan Library is a pair of neatly stitched, lightly soiled, finely creased white gloves, which lie alongside each other like precious ivories rescued from a vanished civilization. The gloves are remarkable for their minuteness -- they are less than half as broad as a modern female hand, and their fingers are scarcely thicker than a pencil -- but much more so for their association: these few inches of kid once covered the hand that held the pen that wrote "Jane Eyre." Although a writer's personal relics may appeal to the idolatrous, they do not, as a rule, have much to tell us about literature -- unless they are Charlotte Bronte's gloves. Part of "The Art of the Brontes: Drawings and Manuscripts," an exhibition on view at the library through April 14, these gloves so vividly and so hauntingly summon the novelist that a visitor is inescapably drawn to examine them before moving on to the many other treasures in the show.
