Elizabeth Klett rocks Jane Eyre for us!
274’s book talk audio begins at 34 min or so.
After listening to you talk about teaching to the joke, I went on Goodreads to look up Jasper Fforde. They have a list of quotes from his books that had me laughing out loud and wanting to start reading about 6 of them all at once. Thanks for the introduction to an author I’m sure I’m going to love.
Hi Heather,
I’m so glad that you are doing Jane Eyre. Not sure if I wasn’t paying close enough attention or if you didn’t mention it in the podcast, but what is the name of the Bronte biography that you are currently reading? I wouldn’t mind checking it out. Thanks.
I meant to put a link to it in the show notes. It’s The Brontës–Wild Genius on the Moors–The Story of Three Sisters
Huge, but awesome.
Heather,
Thank you for the information. I’m looking forward to reading it next year and finding a bit more about the Bronte sisters.
As a total Bronte dork, I *think* Heather may have mispronounced the name of the biographer of Charlotte Bronte– Elizabeth Gaskell. This is how nerdy you’ve made us, Heather. She’s a pretty amazing lady in and of herself and wrote “Wives and Daughters”, “North and South”, and “Cranford”, many of which have graced Masterpiece Classic… After all that, I assume I misheard Heather and she said it right in the first place…
Assume nothing.
😀
But expect a conversation with a Gaskell expert! That’s coming up.
Elizabeth Klett!! Yes!!
Ooohh, and here I was wanting to finish Wuthering Heights first… dilemma…
