For their part, Victorian critics were virtually obsessed with finding the place of the woman writer so as to judge her appropriately. Many bluntly admitted that they thought Jane Eyre a masterpiece if written by a man, shocking or disgusting if written by a woman. Moreover, reactionary reviewers were quick to associate an independent heroine with carefully concealed revolutionary doctrine; several considered Jane Eyre a radical feminist document, as indeed it was. To Charlotte Bronte, who had demanded dignity and independence without any revolutionary intent and who considered herself politically conservative, their criticism was an affront. Such criticism bunched all women writers together rather than treating them as individual artists.


Please can anyone explain this para in simple language. I am not able to intrept it..

Hi RiteshGadave,

The above lines mean that Victorian critics were always partial with women writers, and they did not consider works of women writers up to the mark. Most critics admitted, that if were Jane Eyre was a work of a man, it could be considered a masterpiece, but it's disgusting if its written by a woman. Critics considered Jane Eyre a revolutionary feminist document, and this did not go well with Charlotte Bronte, as she had not written Jane Eyre to project any revolution, she simply demanded respect and dignity through her work.

Hope This Helps.
Thanks.
