Read Jane Eyre, But Burn Wuthering Heights
前一段在重溫呼嘯山莊的時候(明年好像會新出一版呼嘯山莊電影),看到和 Brontë Sister 同年代的出版商當時是這麽評論的。
Brontë Sister 的感情似乎更強烈一些,對比簡·奧斯汀的內斂。簡愛的作者 Charlotte Brontë 對 Jane Austen 的評價不高:
“a carefully-fenced, highly cultivated garden with neat borders and delicate flowers – but no glance of a bright vivid physiognomy – no open country – no fresh air – no blue hill – no bonny beck. I should hardly like to live with her ladies and gentlemen in their elegant but confined houses.”
