By Lucasta Miller? Yes, I did, and agree it's very interesting.
Yep, that's the one. I figured if you liked Hahn's account of the evolving historiography of Fritz, you'd like the same being done with the Brontes, especially with an eye toward methodology. I'm glad I read Miller *before* I read Gaskell. Miller may not be right in all of her conclusions, but she at least gets you thinking critically.
it would have been a shame to lose this over the most fickle of swans
Indeed, and I love the way you phrased this.
Which must mean that both Hervey (who usually loved to gossip) and Algarotti kept absolutely mum.
That is really interesting, and good for them! Algarotti had better keep mum *frowny face*, but good for Hervey, rival love interest yet loyal friend.
