Truly sorry to hear about the passing of Professor Brian Maidment. He taught me as an undergrad and inspired me with a love of Victorian literature. He was generous, kind, and a pleasure to be around. Thanks for everything Brian.

#otd 1897 Ellen Nussey, great friend of Charlotte Bronte, died aged 80. It's thanks to Ellen's preservation of hundreds of Charlotte’s letters, and to her assisting Elizabeth Gaskell in her biography of Charlotte Bronte, that we know so much about the Bronte family.
