Jane Austen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Charlotte Brontë criticized the narrow scope of Austen's fiction: |
| | "Anything like warmth or enthusiasm, anything energetic, poignant, heartfelt, is utterly out of place in commending these works: all such demonstrations the authoress would have met with a well-bred sneer, would have calmly scorned as 'outré' or extravagant. |
| | She does her business of delineating the surface of the lives of genteel English people curiously well. |
