Jane EyreJane 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)
