On 2nd February a meeting was held in Naples at the British Council seat in Via Morghen 31 to introduce the book 'Henry Hastings' by Charlotte Bronte recently translated and edited by Prof. Maddalena De Leo.

The publishing house Albus Edizioni was present with its manager Mr Giuseppe Bianco and the speaker was introduced by Mr Giuseppe Vetromile, a well-known Italian poet and writer.

After a short talk about Charlotte's Juvenilia, Professor De Leo explained the criteria followed in translating Charlotte's novella, and showed a DVD to let the public be acquainted with the Brontë Society, Haworth and the Yorkshire moors atmoshere.
