Evidence: | [Charlotte Bronte (as Currer Bell) to her publishers Messrs Smith, Elder and Co., 26 October 1847:]
'I have received the newspapers. They speak quite as favourably of "Jane Eyre" as I expected them to do. The notice in the "Literary Gazette" seems certainly to have been indited in rather a flat mood, and the "Athenaeum" has a style of its own, which I respect, but cannot exactly relish; still, when one considers that journals of that standing have a dignity to maintain which would be damaged by a too cordial recognition of the claims if an obscure author, I suppose there is every reason to be satisfied.' |
