F\u00f6r ett par veckor sedan b\u00f6rjade jag l\u00e4sa Charlotte Bront\u00eb<\/strong>s roman Shirley<\/em>. Jag vet inte varf\u00f6r jag inte har gjort det tidigare, men det faktum att den ibland beskrivs som en ”tvilling” till Elizabeth Gaskell<\/strong>s North and South<\/em> gjorde ju att jag m\u00e5ste l\u00e4sa den nu n\u00e4r jag vet det!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Den kom i en ny svensk \u00f6vers\u00e4ttning f\u00f6r tv\u00e5 \u00e5r sedan, p\u00e5 Modernista, den f\u00f6rsta sedan 1850-talet. M\u00e4ktigt eller hur? Fast jag l\u00e4ser den i en vanlig engelsk klassikerutg\u00e5va.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e4r Charlotte Bront\u00eb (det ska vara hon p\u00e5 bilden, men den beskrivs som ett ”idealiserat portr\u00e4tt”) skrev Shirley <\/em>hade hon f\u00f6rlorat sina systrar Anne <\/strong>och Emily <\/strong>kort efter varandra — och innan dess sin bror Branwell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jag ska nog inte s\u00e4ga s\u00e5 mycket om handlingen \u00e4n, f\u00f6r jag har mycket kvar att l\u00e4sa, men jag hittade ett litet sp\u00e5r av hj\u00e4lpstickningstraditionen och m\u00e5ste dela med mig av det:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It ought perhaps to be explained in passing, for the benefit of those who are not au fait to the mysteries of the ”Jew-basket” and ”missionary-basket,” that these meubles are willow repositories, of the capacity of a good-sized family clothes-basket, dedicated to the purpose of conveying from house to house a monster collection of pin-cushions, needle-books, card-racks, workbags, articles of infant wear, etc., etc., etc., made by the willing or reluctant hands of the Christian ladies of a parish, and sold perforce to the heathenish gentlemen thereof, at prices unblushingly exorbitant. The proceeds of such compulsory sales are applied to the conversion of the Jews, the seeking up of the ten missing tribes, or to the regeneration of the interesting coloured population of the globe. Each lady contributor takes it in her turn to keep the basket a month, to sew for it, and to foist off its contents on a shrinking male public. An exciting time it is when that turn comes round. Some active-minded woman, with a good trading spirit, like it, and enjoy exceedingly the fun of making hard-handed worsted-spinners cash up, to the tune of four or five hundred per cent. above cost price, for articles quite useless to them; other feebler souls object to it, and would rather see the prince of darkness himself at their door any morning than that phantom basket, brought with ”Mrs. Rouse’s compliments; and please, ma’am, she says it’s your turn now.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intressant eller hur? Ett initiativ som fr\u00e5n b\u00f6rjan sannolikt var fint utt\u00e4nkt och som blev en social press och en pl\u00e5ga f\u00f6r en del av dem som f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntades delta eller bidra. Man kan undra vad vi som hj\u00e4lpstickar nu borde passa oss f\u00f6r. Och man kan ocks\u00e5 undra om det finns universall\u00f6sningar som g\u00f6r att det g\u00e5r att g\u00f6ra gott och bidra till det som \u00e4r gott utan att riskera s\u00e5dana h\u00e4r ursp\u00e5rningar. Det \u00e4r ju alltid en stor f\u00f6rlust n\u00e4r r\u00e4dslan f\u00f6r att g\u00f6ra fel eller g\u00f6ra n\u00e5got som kan missuppfattas g\u00f6r att vi stelnar till och tvekar att g\u00f6ra saker f\u00f6r andra \u00f6verhuvudtaget.
