Notes
1Roberts's novel challenges Lyndall Gordon's view that Bronte begins Jane Eyre having ‘worked off the Brussels experience’ in The Professor (1846) (p. 144), and does not return to her preoccupation with Heger until Villette (1853), ‘her most autobiographical treatment of their relationship’ (p. 110), by suggesting that Jane Eyre is shaped as much by Bronte's passion for her tutor as the novels that deal with the relationship more directly. Despite her assertion that Jane Eyre does not draw on the Brussels affair, Gordon concedes that Rochester resembles Heger (p. 148).
