" ... in the early 1870s, the ten-year-old Annabel Huth Jackson 'was terribly frightened by the episode of the mad woman tearing the wedding veil' in Jane Eyre, although the incidence of this incident alone was doubtless insufficient to explain Jackson's mother's horror when she learnt her daughter had read the book."
