Charlotte Brontë's Teenage "Catalogue of Books"
Submitted by Carolyn Vega on Thu, 05/26/2011 - 1:08pmCharlotte Brontë was only ten years old when she penned her earliest known work, and she was barely a tween when she began writing in earnest -- at her own count she had written over twenty complete works by the time she was fourteen.
One list, which she has headed Catalogue of my Books with the periods of their completion up to August 3, 1830, gives twenty-two titles, including A Book of Rhymes, which, now lost, apparently contained 10 poems.
