| Evidence: | Charlotte Bronte to W. S. Williams, 16 April 1849:
'I like Carlyle better and better. His style I do not like, nor do I always concur in his opinions, nor quite fall in with his hero-worship; but there is a manly love of truth, an honest recognition and fearless vindication of intrinsic greatness, of intellectual and moral worth, considered apart from birth, rank, or wealth, which commands my sincere admiration [...] I have not read his "French Revolution."' |
