Two of the most iconic novels of the Victorian era were written by the Bronte
sisters. When they were initially released "Jane Eyre" was the most popular
amoungst the public and critics of that time period. Now, thanks to modern
novels that appreciate the work of Emily Bronte "Wuthering Heights" appears to
be the favourite. I have always liked "Jane Eyre" and decided to finally read
"Wuthering Heights" in order to decide where the novels stand from my
viewpoint.
Both books are considered to be of the gothic genre and having
being written in the same household I could hardly imagine the tension and
competitive nature that may have played a big part in the realtionships between
the Bronte sisters. Also, a third and lesser-known sister, Anne Bronte had a
novel released around the same time. I hardly think it's fair to compare
sisters, but now having seen many articles of the sort and finding an opinion of
my own on the subject I realise that another opinion is of little matter when
there are so many circulating the blogosphere on the subject.
(Dutch) Ik hou van lezen, maar bij de bibliotheek kan ik toch altijd niet echt vinden
wat ik zoek. Maargoed, al je boeken kopen is ook weer zo’n gedoe en mijn
voornaamste bezwaar: het is zo duur. Dacht jij dit ook tot nu toe? Meet Book Depository. De ideale
site om je Engelse boeken te shoppen, ze zijn namelijk hartstikke goedkoop én er
zijn geen verzendkosten! Tel uit je winst, haha. Ik had echt helemaal geen
boeken meer om te lezen, dus besloot ik mezelf te verwennen met een belachelijk
grote bestelling bij BD. Ondertussen heb ik al m’n boeken binnen dus ik ga ze
jullie even laten zien.

I was looking forward to getting books that I love but don’t own and I’d had my eye on some editions with newly redesigned covers to add to my library collection. After being in the store for an hour perusing the disorganized store I realized my arms were sore from the growing, toppling stack. I set down my selections and looked at many of the ones I’d scooped up.

This trend, reminiscent of the 18th and 19th centuries, was seen in 2011’s Jane Eyre starring Mia Wasikowska. We are sure this won’t be the last we see of quilted clothes – or the Brontës – on the silver screen
