The business is certainly very bad

History lists several disastrous economic bubbles:

 Railway Mania
(...) Despite the frenzy of speculation, the railroad industry proved more fickle than many investors had been led to believe. After peaking in 1845, railway stocks underwent an agonizing multi-year slide. Many investments were worth less than 50 percent of their original value by 1850. Thousands of Britons felt the squeeze, including the famed novelist Charlotte Brontë, who saw the value of her shares plunge from £120 at their peak to a measly £20. “The business is certainly very bad,” she noted. “Many, very many, are by the late strange Railway System deprived almost of their daily bread.” (Evan Andrews)

The quote comes from a letter to George Smith, October 4th 1849.

Slate talks about how books and film explore the sexuality of teen girls:

The inner life of a teenage girl can be like an unstable weather system, shot through with squalls, inexplicably balmy interludes, and stretches of drab rain. Writers have used first-person narration to chart this mercurial climate in books ranging from Jane Eyre to I Capture the Castle to Oranges are Not the Only Fruit. Carson McCullers’ The Member of the Wedding (among others) proved that the third-person does justice to a teen girl’s yearnings, too. (Laura Miller)

The Moberly Monitor-Index on classical literature:

 I’m sure we can all remember that one piece of literature that speaks to us on a level nothing else seems to.
For me that one book was Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre I was a young teen when I first picked it up. I remember sitting in my bean bag chair, next to a window, and reading for hours. I hadn’t read anything like it ever. I found myself in Jane. She was shy, smart, and Gothic, mysterious, and romantic, Jane Eyre will always hold that special place in my heart for being that first favorite read. (Rachael)
