Algernon Charles Swinburne to Sir T. Wemyss Reid, in response to Reid's Charlotte Bronte: A Monograph, 24 September 1877:
'I need not say how grateful I should be for any further information about the glorious and immortal lady whom you have already so nobly and justly vindicated and explained to us. From the first hour when as a schoolboy I read "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights" I have always retained the first intense desire I felt then to know all that I might or ought to know about the two women who wrote them.'
