We had loads of Thomas Hardy, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and other two Bronte sisters. I dont recall any references to her in our literature classes either.<br /><br />When I was reading some biographies of the Bronte sisters, Anne was always sidelined, which I realise now, was really really unfair.<br /><br />I do wish you read TTOWH and write about it too.Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274222598587327676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34311728.post-29909757587355980002009-09-29T09:10:51.744-07:002009-09-29T09:10:51.744-07:00Vee : Wuthering Heights is a must read.

But Tenant of Wildfell Hall is really worth a read.Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274222598587327676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34311728.post-17036957488483586732009-09-29T09:09:49.731-07:002009-09-29T09:09:49.731-07:00Anup,

I never knew about Anne Bronte's works, ignorant that I am, although professed book lover. You have brought out the essence of both books nicely, reflecting the author's own depictions of life in Victorian England and supplementing them with your assessment. I enjoyed this piece, thank you.Capt. Anup Murthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517106772872301041noreply@blogger.com
