Hours in a Library, Volume 3 New Edition, with Additions

"Hours in a Library, Volume 3" by Leslie Stephen is a collection of literary critiques from the late 1800s that looks closely at famous authors like Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot. The book thinks about how an author’s own life affects their writing, studying the link between personal background and creative work, and also shows Stephen's views on these different writers and their books, starting with a careful look at Charlotte Brontë and examining how her novels were shaped by her life and emotions, showing that her personal connections made her work powerful but also somewhat narrow.
