前一段在重温呼啸山庄的时候(明年好像会新出一版呼啸山庄电影),看到和 Brontë Sister 同年代的出版商当时是这么评论的。
Brontë Sister 的感情似乎更强烈一些,对比简·奥斯汀的内敛。简爱的作者 Charlotte Brontë 对 Jane Austen 的评价不高:
“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.”
