April tidbits

A few finds on the blogosphere today: Amanda Joy's Blog posts Sylvia Plath's poem 'Wuthering Heights'. Novel Journey discovers a new Brontëite: Cecilia Samartin:

What are a few of your favorite books (not written by you) and why are they favorites?
Jane Eyre, A Death in the Family, To Kill a Mocking Bird, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Madam Bovary, The Scarlet Letter.

Fedde Spoel's Gebroken Oor talks about Jane Eyre (in Dutch). Art & Entertainment traces a brief biography of Charlotte Brontë. Word Nerdery reviews Wide Sargasso Sea:

All in all, the style of the writing is unpleasant, no matter how well it reflects the characters it portrays: it is difficult to read and less than compelling. If you are a lover of Jane Eyre, this is an interesting read - if not, don't bother. (Maggie)

Finally, we have found this blog of a Jane Eyre reader.
