Delaware Online brings up once more that thing about the evolution of some 19th century novels into current romance novels (Harlequin, etc.). In that lengthy article we have loved the following sentence:

In today's romance novels, the sophistication of the Brontes' work is simplified for mass consumption.

That's why we like it when we recently heard that the producers pf the new BBC Jane Eyre are 'trying to get away from too clichéd a story about the Mills and Boon thing of the governess falling in love with the Lord of the Manor' :)
