Are you tired of reading groups that only read modern fiction?
We invite you to join our group specialising in 19th century English literature, for people who are interested in books by and about the Brontës and in the history and literature of the 19th century in general.
We want to return to the classics that have stood the test of time and also fill in our knowledge of the period by reading:
- The Brontës and works relating to them (biography, criticism, modern novels inspired by the Brontës….)
- Jane Austen, Hardy, Dickens, George Eliot ….
- Biography and history providing background to the 19th century
Books on our reading list for 2022-2023:
Florence Marryat: The Blood of the Vampire
Henry James: Washington Square
Emily Brontë: Wuthering Heights
Anthony Trollope: Phineas Redux
Jane Austen: Northanger Abbey
Wilkie Collins: The Law and the Lady
Charles Dickens: Little Dorrit
