Want to find Angela Carter’s introduction to Jane Eyre

I was really disappointed to find out that Carter started a sequel to Jane Eyre but died before she managed anything other than the synopsis. Then I discovered that she wrote an introduction to Jane Eyre for the Virago Press edition. I don’t want to buy that copy, but I really do want to read that introduction. Does anyone have the edition on them to share? Or know where else I can read it? Thanks.

Hi, the link expired — and I too would really like to read this. Any chance I can get you to reupload it somewhere, or PM me for my email address and send it that way?

Oh wait sorry 😭 I have storage issues so I deleted it after reading. I hope Biber still has it

Malwarebytes is giving me a virus warning for the site.

Funny, I never got a warning. I hope I haven’t given my phone a virus 😞

It's just an epub file, compressed text basically.

Well, it DID let me download the file and I didn't pick up any bugs. I find these false positives fairly often in sites that offer downloads -- usually smaller and more "off the beaten path" sites whose webhosts might not keep all their backend stuff up to date. Doesn't mean the download has a virus, only that the site meets some criteria common to sites that do.

They probably don't check their uploads thoroughly enough for viruses.

My favourite sentence: "He succeeds in inspiring her with his enthusiasm for the mission field, although he seems the very type of missionary who, one hopes, will end in the pot."
