Hours in a Library, Volume 3 by Leslie Stephen
"Hours in a Library, Volume 3" by Leslie Stephen is a critical anthology written in the late 19th century. The volume delves into literary analyses of notable authors such as Charlotte Brontë, Charles Kingsley, and George Eliot, among others. This collection reflects on the interplay between literature and life, exploring the influences of personal experience on literary creation, while also engaging with the critical attitudes of Stephen himself towards various writers and
their works. The opening of this volume sets a contemplative tone as it begins with an analysis of Charlotte Brontë. Leslie Stephen engages with the complexity of Brontë's character and her writing style, noting how her life experiences deeply influenced her novels. He examines how Brontë’s creative expression reflects her emotional intensity and personal struggles, asserting that her intimate connection to her characters and settings renders her work uniquely compelling yet somewhat limited in its broader appeal. This exploration not only offers insights into Brontë’s literary contributions but also showcases Stephen's critical approach, emphasizing the importance of understanding an author's background in relation to their body of work.
