Evidence:
Catherine Winkworth to Eliza Paterson, 5 December 1849:
'So you like "Shirley" better than "Jane Eyre"; so do I, in some points. In power and in descriptions of scenery, there is nothing in "Shirley" which seems to me to come up to some parts of "Jane Eyre," but then there is nothing also in "Shirley" like the disagreeable parts of "Jane Eyre."'"
