I wonder if AF used the Brontes as a shield and a justification for writing on this topic. I can't help thinking that she must have had her own private experience of intense imaginings/roleplay and this was why she wanted to write about it (she just GETS it, doesn't she?) but perhaps didn't realise just how common it is - maybe had only the Brontes as an example of others 'indulging'?
