[Charlotte Bronte (as Currer Bell) to her publisher W. S. Williams, 28 October 1847:] 'I have just received the "Tablet" and the "Morning Advertiser." Neither paper seems inimical to the book [Jane Eyre], but I see it produces a very different effect on different natures. I was amused at the analysis in the "Tablet," it is oddly expressed in some parts. I think the critic did not always seize my meaning; he speaks, for instance, of "Jane's inconceivable alarm at Mr Rochester's repelling manner." I do not remember that.'
