Bookish quotes roundup from this week, including Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and several others.
Tomorrow, 21 April will be the birthday of author Charlotte Brontë who was born in 1816. While I did not care much for Jane Eyre , I did appreciate its literary qualities. Check out my Fun Facts Friday on Charlotte’s sister, Emily. […]
Robert Southey (12 August 1774 – 21 March 1843), England’s poet laureate from 1813 until his death. In his time he was widely read and admired.
Emily Brontë (30 July 1818 — 19 December 1848). While I’m not a big fan of the Brontë sisters, I certainly do appreciate their contributions to literature.
The story of Jane Eyre is absorbing & well written. Brontë’s observations are poignant & engaging, her storytelling, when not of on a tangent, is admirable
