A Vindication Of The Clergy Daughters' School, And Of The Rev. W. Carus Wilson, From The Remarks In 'the Life Of Charlotte Brontë' (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781021244475)

A Vindication of the Clergy Daughters' School is a response to Charlotte Bronte's criticism of the school she attended as a child. Author Henry Shepheard defends the school and its headmaster, W. Carus Wilson, against the accusations of abuse and neglect made by Bronte in her novel Jane Eyre. Shepheard, a former student and colleague of Wilson, provides evidence that contradicts Bronte's claims and highlights the positive impact the school had on its students. This book is a fascinating look at the history of education and the power of literature to shape public opinion.
