Town and Country recommends '35 Best Classic Fall Books for a Cozy Autumn Read' including
Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre begins on a dreary November day—“There was no possibility of taking a walk that day...”—setting the tone for the gothic novel. Autumn remains a key backdrop throughout the novel, including when she travels to Thronfield [sic] Hall for the first time (her first morning there was “a fine autumn morning”). It’s a definitive autumn classic. (Any Brontë novel, honestly, makes great fall reading.) (Emily Burack)
Speaking of anniversaries, today October 26 marks 177 years since the publication of Charlotte Brontë's Shirley.
