Caroline is in love with her half-cousin, half-Belgian, Robert Moore, the local mill owner. ![]() The two become friends when Shirley moves to Caroline’s Yorkshire town. The two heroines are Caroline Helstone, a quiet girl living with her uncle, and Shirley Keeldar, an independent, free-spirited young woman. Well, Charlotte only set it in the past because she didn’t want to cause controversy by commenting on contemporary issues, and it doesn’t really “feel” like a Regency novel, so that part doesn’t quite count, but you get the point. The novel is quite different from all of her others- it’s told by an omniscient, 3rd person narrator, it’s set during the Napoleonic Wars, it follows two heroines, and it’s part social commentary/part Romance. But…I’m not a huge fan of the book either. I feel bad for her because Branwell, Emily, and Anne all died while she was writing it. Charlotte apparently thought it would be wildly successful like Jane Eyre, but alas, it wasn’t that big of a hit. Shirley, Charlotte Bronte’s second novel, was published in 1849. ![]() There was a silent version of this one done in 1922, but it’s not available. But since Jane Eyre is the only one that has adaptations available, I’m saving that one for last. Jane Eyre was first, and then this one, Shirley.

I know I’m reviewing Charlotte’s books out of order here but this was a conscious choice. ![]() ![]() The story romanticizes Matthew and his brothers’ often violent and sometimes homophobic expressions of their cisgender, heterosexual masculinity with reflections unsettlingly reminiscent of a “boys will be boys” attitude. ![]() His prose is thick with metaphor and heavy with allusions to Homer’s epics.

Chofy meets Rosa on a trip to Guyana's capital, Georgetown, to see his aunt Wifreda, a hospitalized old woman on the verge of going blind. One doomed romance is the adulterous liaison between Chofy McKinnon, a half-Scot, half-Indian, cattle rancher, and Rosa Mendelson, a British scholar researching Evelyn Waugh's visit to the country in the 1930s. Two illicit love affairs are the vertebrae of an absorbing story set against the background of colonial life in exotic surroundings. ![]() In Melville's ambitious and richly realized debut set in modern-day Guyana, religious, social and philosophical tensions beset all the characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() The subject matter for EC Comics were horror, science fiction/fantasy, crime stories, war stories and stories with a social message that generally had a twist or "shock" ending. ![]() EC Comics were superior to other comics of the 1950s because of a higher quality of writing and artwork, and they were widely imitated by other comics publishers.
