'You would expect Jane to duck just in time, but Reader, she married him'

The Hindu imagines a letter from Jane Austen to her sister Cassandra for her 250th year.

Miss Charlotte Brontë says of my writing: Her business is not half so much with the human heart as with the human eyes, mouth, hands, and feet; what sees keenly, speaks aptly, moves flexibly, it suits her to study, but what throbs fast and full, though hidden, what the blood rushes through, what is the unseen seat of Life and the sentient target of Death—this Miss Austen ignores.

Ouch!

Miss Brontë herself throbs fast and full, unhidden and unbidden, on the plethoric pages of Jane Eyre. Never was a heroine more virtuous than Jane, no hero more satanic than Mr Rochester. He kept a mad wife locked in the attic. With messianic diligence Miss Brontë killed the wife and struck Rochester blind. You would expect Jane to duck just in time, but Reader, she married him.

The heroine of Villette is unique. Her ability to sour the milk of human kindness in the reader’s veins, every drop of it, is surely unparalleled in literature. (Kalpish Ratna)

The Bay Area Reporter reviews the Netflix series Too Much.

A romantic comedy series created by Lena Dunham and Luis Felber, “Too Much” is newly released on Netflix. The series follows a bereft New Yorker who moves to London seeking a fresh start. The story has shades of “Jane Eyre,” Charlotte Brontë’s 19th-century novel about a young woman who overcomes hardship to find love and independence, but with contemporary sass. (Laura Moreno)
