Harper Collins, publisher of the Twilight-oriented edition of Wuthering Heights relapses with an edition of Jane Eyre:
Jane Eyre
By Charlotte Brontë
Harper Collins Children's Books
ISBN: 9780007353361
One of the greatest love stories ever told, beautifully repackaged for a modern teen audience
Loved TWILIGHT? Then you'll adore Jane Eyre!
You can't choose who you fall in love with. For Jane Eyre, orphan and impoverished governess, the last person she should want is the only person she needs: her employer, Rochester. Not only is he socially inaccessible, he's also a man of few words and many secrets -- and one of his secrets is so terrible it could destroy everything he and Jane hold dear!

Harper Collins, publisher of the Twilight-oriented edition of Wuthering Heights relapses with an edition of Jane Eyre:
Wow, very clever marketing to get teens to read the classics i.e. Jane Eyre. I adore Jane Eyre myself but don't get the whole Twilight phenomenon. Go figure. Do you know if they'll be doing this with other classic novels?
ReplyDeleteThe Bronte's must be rolling in their graves right now.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the twilight comments, but I was strucked by the tagline "you can't choose who you fall in love with". It is my main argument when I am defending Charlotte Bronte herself for falling in love with a married man especially as she knew the fact and was not deceived like Jane was. It is not that she did it on purpose/chosed it or that she enjoyed not having the one she longed for, but the truth is you don't love a person because of his marital status. In reality I believe his being married gave a false sense of security meaning that she was lest guarded perhaps, than she would be with a single professor. So she ended up loving him despite his being married and despite her better judgment.
