Reading Experience:

Evidence:

Charlotte Bronte to Ellen Nussey, 5 May 1851:

'I enclose a letter of Mr Morgan's to Papa — written just after he had read "Shirley." It is curious to see the latent feeling roused in the old gentleman — I was especially struck with his remark about the chap. entitled "The Valley of the Shadow, &c." he must have had a true sense of what he read or he could not have made it.'
