Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë:
It’s a novel by English writer, a timeless classic of love, independence, and resilience. This novel is about a guy who his orphan and faces challenges. The novel’s moody moors and stormy settings enhance its emotional gravitas. It's a great read for curling up indoors with a warm cup of tea and the sound of rain.
As the novel progresses its narrative builds upon the framework of classic Gothic literature (a centuries-old crumbling mansion, a decaying family with murderous secrets, madness, a distressed damsel plagued by spectral ills); indeed, Rhea even references Jane Eyre on several occasions. But there’s also a noticeable fairy tale aspect to The Last Ballard: like Rapunzel locked away in her tower, Rhea must throw off the shackles of her former self in order to find the new, prosperous future that’s within her grasp. (Damascus Mincemeyer)
The Brussels Brontë Blog posts about their recent literary pilgrimage to Yorkshire. The members toured historic Brontë sites including the newly opened Birthplace in Thornton, Haworth Parsonage, and locations that inspired Charlotte's novels like Oakwell Hall and Roe Head School. The most recent video of The Brontë Sisters UK explores how contaminated water, poor sanitation, and disease affected the village and the Brontës, plus Patrick Brontë's reform efforts to improve conditions. Also, in the new video by The House of Brontë, Nick Holland explores the Brontë Parsonage's dining room.
