This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

The future authoress was the family's Governess in the late 1830s, which was disparaged by her family, as it was a working-class position. When the Benson children entered proper education, her services came to an end, and it was decided that she and Emily should set up a School, for which they needed knowledge of the French language. Strings were pulled and she joined Zoe Parent's Boarding School for Young Ladies in Brussels, both to teach English and study French. This period is covered in her novels The Professor and Villette. Charlotte, it turned out, wasn't just studying French. At the end of the year, Emily returned, but Charlotte, entwined with Mme Zoe's husband Constantin Heger, was studying the ways of the female heart, until Zoe caught them and Charlotte was also on her way! In fact, The Turn of the Screw reached Edward from Charlotte, and from there went to Henry James. He paired it with Covering End, in The Two Loves, depicting dark obsession and white innocence, respectively. The dark side certainly came from the wider intellectual community in Brussels, exiled from France. 51.183.175.111 (talk) 06:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
