Brocklehurst Strikes Back

Ralph Luker called my attention to this Reuters article, which discusses some newly-discovered letters written by the grandson of William Carus-Wilson (the model for Jane Eyre's Mr. Brocklehurst).  The letters suggest that there might be an altered MS of Jane Eyre hanging about. There's more information at the Yorkshire Post. 

(See a volume of Carus-Wilson's The Children's Friend.  Emma Jane Worboise's rebuttal to Jane Eyre's version of Carus-Wilson is here.  Lancashire Churches offers a brief description of Tunstall, the church that inspired "Brocklebridge.")
