Jane Rivers and a brooch

Graham Kings talks about evangelism in The Guardian. St John Rivers is mentioned:

The 19th century novel Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, also explores deep themes of redemption and Christian life. The portrait of the insistent St John Rivers, who tries and fails to persuade Jane to join him in missionary work in India, is often seen as a caricature of an evangelical. If the above six pointers to belief ring true, perhaps the more sympathetic portrait of an evangelical may be Jane Eyre herself.

Kevin Sullivan's new telefilm Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning (which will be premiered this Sunday on CTV, Canada) is presented in the National Post:

What I called a workhouse is officially named the Bolingbroke County Poorhouse, and it seems to have been synthesized from the author-director's reading of Oliver Twist, Jane Eyre and The Count of Monte Cristo. (Robert Cushman)

The Saint Louis Dispatch mentions the Studio One Anthology DVD release with Wuthering Heights 1950.

The OUPblog posts about best-sellers of all ages:

The 1780’s saw best-sellerhood for Samuel Richardson, Robert Burns, and Alexander Hamilton, all of whom have stood some sort of test of time. And the 1840’s were a fruitful time for Dickens and Dumas, Thackeray and the Brontë sisters, worthies all.

Real Simple suggests how to make creative wrapping for books. For Jane Eyre recommends:

Adorn Jane Eyre with a velvet ribbon and a brooch. (Elizabeth Wells)
