Emily Shore died in 1839 at age 19 of tuberculosis. Decades later, her sisters, themselves writers, brought out a redacted edition of her journal, less than half the length of Emily's original. A century passed. In 1991, two of the twelve octavo volumes constituting the original journal, thought lost in its entirety, appeared at a London auction. The Journal of Emily Shore: Revised and Expanded recovers this material and, in the process, offers a glimpse into early- and late-Victorian life (re-)writing.

Lang, and The Letters of Christina Rossetti, edited by Anthony H. Harrison.  To read Lang's Introduction, follow this link.  For Harrison's Introduction, click here.
