Charlotte Bronte to W. S. Williams, 22 November 1848:
'I have read "Madeleine." It is a fine pearl in a simple setting. Julia Kavanagh has my esteem; I would rather know her than many far more briliant personages. Somehow my heart leans more to her than to Eliza Lynn, for instance. Not that I have read either "Amymone" or "Azeth," but I have seen extracts from them which I found it literally impossible to digest. They present to my imagination Lytton Bulwer [sic] in petticoats — an overwhelming vision.'
