What Miss Drew has set out to do in this sympathetic study is to present the Jane Carlyle of flesh & blood as a corrective, on the one hand to the misunderstood heroine created by Froude & Mrs. Ireland, & on the other hand to the hypochondriacal neurotic conceived by Sir James Crichton-Browne & accepted by Mr. D. A. Willson. Miss Drew presents the Jane Welsh & Jane Carlyle of life, at the same time loving & cynical, harsh & sympathetic, intolerant & patient, kind & cruel. Illus.
Humorous and revealing, Jane Carlyle's letters present a fascinating insight into her private sphere, and her often turbulent marriage.
