Summary "International Weekly Miscellany of Literature, Art and Science - Volume 1, No. 6" is a collection of essays, critiques, and literary commentary published in the mid-19th century. The opening section primarily features an examination of English female romance writers, highlighting the contributions of Miss Jewsbury, Miss Brontë (referred to as Currer Bell), and Mrs. Gaskell. This periodical presents insightful perspectives on the evolving role of women in literature and their impact on society through their works. The opening of the volume focuses on a letter that critiques contemporary English romance literature, singling out prominent female authors. The writer praises Miss Jewsbury for her evolving narratives that center around social themes and the position of women, while also shedding light on the mysterious identity of Miss Brontë, emphasizing the intrigue surrounding her anonymity and the substantial emotional depth within her novels. Meanwhile, Mrs. Gaskell is recognized for her powerful depiction of the struggles faced by the working class in her work "Mary Barton." This section sets an intellectual and historical context for readers interested in the literary discourse of the time, alongside a glimpse into the lives and works of these influential women authors.
