Abstract
I had not seen ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ till I read that sentence of yours, and then I got the book. And what did I find? An accurate daguerreotyped portrait of a common-place face; a carefully fenced, highly cultivated garden, with neat borders and delicate flowers; but no glance of a bright, vivid physiognomy, no open country, no fresh air, no blue hill, no bonny beck. Charlotte Brontë, Letter to G.H. Lewes (12 January 1848)
