Happy birthday, Charlotte Brontë (b. 4/21/1816)!

#UnofficialDiaryDates #CharlotteBronte

Today is Charlotte Brontë’s birthday.

Do you love her poetry, or know her only through Jane Eyre?

Her first novel was rejected, but the next changed #literature. She had to publish under a man’s name, Currer Bell, because in the 1840s a woman writer could be dismissed before anyone had even read the first page.

One of the most famous authentic portraits of Charlotte was drawn by George Richmond in 1850 👇

I’d argue Jane over Mary in P+P. Ooohh, even Anne could work. #AmReading @bookstodon #ReadingCommunity #Regency #Georgian #EmilyBronte #CharlotteBronte #AnneBronte #Victorian @romancelandia #JaneAusten

I would argue they are equal but for different reasons. #AmReading @bookstodon #ReadingCommunity #Regency #Georgian #EmilyBronte #CharlotteBronte #AnneBronte #Victorian @romancelandia #JaneAusten

Beautiful village is must-visit for any Wuthering Heights fans

Nottingham Forest plays today but I won’t know the score until after this has posted. I’m heading to my brother and his family this weekend to watch my nephew play basketball. (He’s 6!) I’m coming home Saturday afternoon and then back to my usual routine on Sunday.

What are you doing this weekend?

I have finished Jane Eyre.

I don’t hate it as much as Wuthering Heights, but it was predictably disappointing.

The naive Tenant of Wildfell Hall said, “I can fix him!” And learned to her horror that she could not.

Jane Eyre said “I can fix him!” And god showed him the error of his ways and he was fixed. The liar didn’t deserve an unearned redemption arc.

No wonder Charlotte hated Anne’s book so much.

I would argue they would be a riot grrl band and that Emily would be the lead singer since she is full of rage.

It feels very British that there is a mystery that could be solved by opening a door and talking to someone, but that simply is not done.

Especially a secret that all the servants seem to know except one.

And of course Jane Eyre will fall in love with the first man who isn’t terrible to her.

Not that she has the opportunity to meet anyone outside her new employer.

Austen: Harriet Smith would throw shade on TikTok. Brontë: Catherine would attempt to be an influencer on Instagram.

Since Jane Eyre is not the most shocking of the Brontë novels, I know it won’t have a lesbian romance. But with how much she adores Helen Burns there’s got to be a slash fic out there somewhere.

Of course knowing the Brontë’s love of tragedy, I’m bracing myself for Helen to die of consumption at age 19.

"If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should— so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again."
—Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre 1847

Okay, I like Jane Eyre for this description of ADHD alone.

"That is curious," said I; "it is so easy to be careful."

"For you I have no doubt it is. I observed you in your class this morning, and saw you were closely attentive: your thoughts never seemed to wander while Miss Miller explained the lesson and questioned you. Now, mine continually rove away; …“

Oh, this is easy: ROCHESTER! (Heathcliff is just misunderstood.) On the Austen side, Wickham is a walking red flag.

Tomorrow I’m teaching a workshop on research beyond AI as my side hustle, Nerd Girl Industries. Also, my two football teams, Wrexham and Nottingham Forest are playing (not each other). I’m going to catch the Wrexham game since it’s before my workshop but the Forest game, against Arsenal, starts while I’m teaching.

Tomorrow, under my side hustle, Nerd Girl Industries, I'm teaching a few workshops to a few writing groups. My Saturdays in January are all going to be like this, but I love teaching. My other plans are my Sunday write-ins and watching PBS with a bestie.

"Bridget Jones' Diary" is one of my fav movies and I always watch it at least once during the holiday season. Since Bridget and Mark met at a New Year party her parents hosted, I plan to watch the movie this weekend.

What did you do for New Year and what are your plans this weekend?

Arguably Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.

#Bookstadon #JaneEyre #CharlotteBronte

Aus "Jane Eyre" von Charlotte Brontë:

"Neben dem Wohnzimmer lag ein kleiner Frühstücksraum, dort huschte ich hinein.Es gab da einen Bücherschrank; bald hatte ich mir einen Band herausgenommen, wobei ich darauf
achtete, daß er Bilder enthielt. Ich kletterte in den Fenstersitz, schlug die Beine wie ein Türke untereinander, zog den roten Moiré-Vorhang fast ganz zu und schloß mich doppelt von aller Welt ab."

This little stack of books has pride of place in our bedroom, it's mostly made up of my deeply worn and re-read collection of Jane Austen Books and a couple of Brontes. Digitally hand painted in #Corel. No Ai programs.
