          <ptr target="ukred-28558">Charlotte Bronte (as Currer Bell) to her publisher, W. S. Williams, 29 March 1848:
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
"You mention Thackeray and the last number of ""Vanity Fair."" The more I read Thackeray"s 
works, the more certain I am that he stands alone &amp;mdash; alone in his sagacity, alone in his truth, 
alone in his feeling (his feeling, though he makes no noise about it, is about the most genuine 
that ever lived on a printed page), alone in his power, alone in his simplicity, alone in his self-
control. Thackeray is a Titan, so strong that he can afford to perform with calm the most 
herculean feats [...] his is never the energy of delirium &amp;mdash; his energy is sane energy, 
deliberate energy, thoughtful energy. The last number of ""Vanity Fair"" proves this peculiarly. 
Forcible, exciting in its force, still more impressive than exciting, carrying on the interest of 
the narrative in a flow, deep, resistless, it is still quiet &amp;mdash; as quiet as reflection, as quiet as 
memory; and to me there are parts of it that sound as solemn as an oracle [...] Thackeray is 
unique."</ptr>
