Evidence: | [Charlotte Bronte (as 'Currer Bell') to her publisher, W. S. Williams, 17 November 1847:]
'The perusal of the "Era" gave me much pleasure, as did that of the "People's Journal." An author feels peculiarly gratified by the recognition of a right tendency in his works; for if what he writes does no good to the reader, he feels he has missed his chief aim, wasted, in a great measure, his time and his labour. The "Spectator" seemed to have found more harm than good in "Jane Eyre," and I acknowledge that distressed me a little.' |
