was known for using compressed verse in her writing and a first-person style similar to writers such as Charlotte Brontë and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. (Tyler Piccotti)
Not that much in common with those three.
CBR ranks the '10 Best Manga Classics' and
Jane Eyre makes it to #8.
8 Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel Jane Eyre tells stories set at different points in the title character's often horrific life. During her time, Jane endures abuse and heartache, which allows Brontë to tackle many of the day's major social issues. The Manga Classics version does a stunning job of fitting the entire story into a mere 324 pages. Though some parts are cut, all the crucial moments are intact.
Plus, the dialogue is clear and easy to understand, even for newcomers. However, it lacks the original novel's distinctive voice, making the story feel slightly generic. The only downside is the art style, which often makes characters too cute. This is especially notable with Rochester. While Brontë describes him as "harsh featured and melancholy looking," his manga counterpart is much prettier and more traditionally dashing. (Jonathon Greenall)
CBR also ranks the '10 Best Hollywood Films of 1939' and
Wuthering Heights also makes it to #8.
8 Wuthering Heights (1939)
William Wyler's Wuthering Heights was the second cinematic adaptation of Emily Brontë's seminal novel of the same name. Told in flashback, Wuthering Heights tells the tragic story of a love affair between Cathy and Heathcliff, who must live their lives apart due to circumstance and prejudice.
Wuthering Heights earned eight Academy Award nominations, winning Best Cinematography (Black-and-White) for Gregg Toland's masterful deep focus expressionist photography. In addition to its gorgeous cinematography, the film features a memorable, Oscar nominated score from Alfred Newman. The American Film Institute nominated Wuthering Heights' score for its list of the best movie scores while also naming the movie Hollywood's 15th greatest love story. (Vincent Loverde)
No trip to this pretty region would be complete without a trip to Haworth, just beyond the western edge of the National Park. This village is the erstwhile home of the Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, who wrote some of the most enduring novels in the English canon. Visit their former residence at what is now the Brontë Parsonage Museum. (Clare Foggett)
