This review of Vanity Fair also appeared in October 1847 (in the Art Union). How does it differ from the review of Jane Eyre, particularly in the questions that it asks and the readership that it assumes? What does it mean to review a novel that is only partially completed? What does the reviewer emphasize and/or leave out? Do you agree with the review? Do you think that the same type of person (of course not the exact same person) could have written this and the review of Jane Eyre?
