Wuthering Heights was the novel we studied in Senior ( final year of high school over here )and though I appreciated it then, could not read it and get as much out of it now. <br />However the images I have in my head of "the moors" comes from that book. One day I'll get to those moors and see if the reality is anything like my imagination.<br />Cheers<br />HelenHelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-23000797224428439552010-08-14T00:01:27.121+01:002010-08-14T00:01:27.121+01:00The Brontes were, of course, fine examples of home...The Brontes were, of course, fine examples of home-schooling and their mother obviously had the foresight to write an LEA philosophy that had the word, 'creative' written through it from top to bottom.Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-54166264250417908602010-08-13T19:12:49.361+01:002010-08-13T19:12:49.361+01:00MICHAEL It's true that the Brontes were "...MICHAEL It's true that the Brontes were "outsiders" but they had warm relationships with servants they recruited from the neighbourhood and with some of the children they taught or helped to bring up as governesses. "Wuthering Heights" is arguably the finest novel ever written though to read it appreciatively one must approach it rather differently from an easy-read modern novel.<br />RHYMES I hope you were simply being mischievous. Comparing the Bronte sisters with the Gabors is like comparing the Atlanta Braves with Creekview High School baseball teams!<br />LIBBY I was waiting for you with cucumber sandwiches - no crusts - and best Darjeeling from our bone china tea service. Who's this mister? In cars we have demisters. He would have had to wait in the car while I served you. Glad you liked Northumberland.

Many years ago a friend of ours took us on such a trip to Bronte country......we walked and talked and had a lovely day...she also told me (unsure if this is correct or not but nevermind) some lines from a poem...'there is no use in crying though we are forced to be apart, there is such a thing as keeping a rememberance in ones heart...' and our friend died some years later.<br /><br />And a little over an hour ago me and the mister arrived back from a 5 hour drive...we had been to Northumberland for the first time and loved it.....I waved at you as we passed Sheffield...did you see??libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-4525738733942273472010-08-13T14:31:02.263+01:002010-08-13T14:31:02.263+01:00I can never keep the Bronte sisters straight.

The Brontes come across as very estranged/alienated from their Yorkshire surroundings.mutikonkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013127024190330396noreply@blogger.com
