Respond to the following prompt by writing a comparitive essay of at least 750 words. Jane Eyre was first published under the pseudonym of "Currer Bell." Ten years earlier, Charlotte Brontë sent a sample of her work to the Poet Laureate of the time, Robert Southey. His reply gives us an insight into society’s opinion of women writers in 1837:

“ . . . Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and it ought not to be. The more she is engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure she will have for it, even as accomplishment and a recreation. To those duties you have not yet been called, and when you are you will be less eager for celebrity . . .”
