You'll be able to find many reviews of Jane Eyre in our online journal collections, or in the Hathi Trust Digital Library.
C19 is a more comprehensive collection of indexes and sometimes provides the full text, but sometimes doesn't. There are errors in some cases that take a little untangling. For example the Poole's Index often seems to have a mismatch of journal volume number and year, so one may have to check both.
If you find a reference to a review without a link--either in C19 or mentioned in a reference book or scholarly article--use our Find A Journal feature to find the journal, either in print or online. I recommend finding the journal, then browsing to the correct year or volume, then scanning the table of contents rather than putting in all the information in the search box.
