She's the most shocking, most modern, and arguably the best of the Brontë writers. You likely missed her b/c Charlotte didn't like this book's 'sensibilities' and did what she could to ghost it after Anne's death. Bad Charlotte! • "Seventy-times-seven" please see Aarne-Thompson Tale-Types & Motifs for more: https://guides.library.harvard.edu/folk_and_myth/indices
