Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Charlotte Bronte George Eliot Jane Austen: Studies in Their Works
The story-tellers whose fame was noisiest in Miss Bronte's early days might be divided into two classes, the ultra-romantic and the tiresomely didactic. An encyclopedic list of these would be interesting as showing how like a breeze from a new sphere 'jane Eyre' and 'vanity Fair' scattered their unrealities and impossibilities. They are for the most part for gotten, and only by forcibly carrying the attention back to them can we rightly understand what the originality of Charlotte Bronte and Thackeray meant in 1847.
