Nelson Levy’s choice to mix in facts about real-life adoptees, as mentioned above, and also to discuss the fates of fictional adoptees such as Jane Eyre, Heathcliff or Dickens’ orphans, gives a universality to the learnings. (Sarah Gilmartin)
Charlotte, meanwhile, juggles two underwhelming new men in her life: a stiff Army Colonel, Francis Lennox (Tom Weston-Jones), and the gloomy widower Alexander Colbourne (pallid Ben Lloyd-Hughes), for whom she goes to work as a governess to his tomboy daughter and willful orphaned niece. Her employer is something of a cross between Jane Eyre‘s tormented Mr. Rochester and The Sound of Music‘s Capt. Von Trapp. (He even keeps the estate’s piano under lock and key lest the girls under his watch experience any inadvertent joy.) (Matt Roush)
In recent years, many Korean Americans have taken up the idea to define their identity and describe their life experiences and heritage. They say han explains Korean character and culture in mainstream media. And the concept shows up frequently in fiction written by Korean Americans, most recently in Patricia Park’s novel Re Jane (2015), which reimagines the story of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847) in contemporary New York City with a Korean American protagonist. In the work, the ‘untranslatable’ han is characterised as the sensation of a ‘fiery anguish roiling in the blood, the result of being wronged’. (Minsoo Kang)

La Inglaterra georgiana dejó pasó a la victoriana, y si en 1841 la población era de diecisés millones, en 1901 ya superaba los treinta y dos. (Toni García Ramón) (Translation)
En mi opinión, muchos escritores y escritoras dejaron huella al reflejar de forma magistral unas historias de amor que, más de un siglo después, a mí me siguen conmoviendo como lectora: Orgullo y prejuicio de Jane Austen, Cumbres borrascosas de Emily Brontë, La dama de las camelias de Alexandre Dumas, Madame Bovary de Gustave Flaubert… (Translation)
“Si Dickens y el autor de Drácula se hubieran unido para escribir la gran novela victoriana” no habrían sido capaces de superarla”, aseguró el poeta escocés John Burnside. La intensidad de la obra de Sara Perry es tal que muchos sostiene que la viuda Cora Seaborne está al mismo nivel de reonocidos caracteres femeninos como Jane Eyre o la Catherine Earnshaw, de “Cumbres Borrascosas”. (Translation)
