Further on the 'incensed retelling' of Jane Eyre

We read in the Village Voice one more review of Lucy Ellmann's Doctors & Nurses. It sheds a little more light on how far it goes to 'retell' Jane Eyre:

A copy of Jane Eyre is Jen's constant companion; just like Jane, Jen will save her swain from a mysterious fire and discover at an inopportune moment that her husband-to-be is another creature's groom, when "a dark, wet, hairy, slimy purplish thing like a walking vulva made her way up the aisle, grovelling, bleeding, drooling, stinking, swelling. What base cunt was this?"

Excuse the language. Judge for yourself how Charlotte would have welcomed such a retelling of her tale. But now you understand why it was deemed 'incensed', don't you?
