About this book
Charlotte Brontë, with illustrations, is by T. Wemyss Reid. The preface speaks of the opening chapter of this Monograph and calls the work an attempt to throw some fresh light upon the character of one of the most remarkable women of our age, a task not lightly taken up or hastily performed. A chapter headed The Story of Jane Eyre says that in the late autumn of 1847 the reading public of London suddenly found itself called to admire and wonder at a novel without preliminary puff of any kind.
The text says that "Jane Eyre," by Currer Bell, became the theme of every tongue, and society exhausted itself in conjectures as to the identity of the author. The text says Mrs. Gaskell has done her work so well that the world would scarcely care to listen to a mere repetition of the Brontë story. The text speaks of a story written at the time when her sisters were engaged in writing Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey, and says it was not published until after her death.
