kittiwake: (history)
[personal profile] kittiwake
Of the novels featured, I have read "Vanity Fair" (loved it), "Wuthering Heights" (hated it), "Mansfield Park", "Emma", "Jane Eyre", "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", "The Picture of Dorian Gray", and the Sherlock Homes story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band". I have also seen or heard others dramatised on TV or radio, but I think I would like to read more of them; Trollope's Palliser novels sound good.

The most interesting chapters were those that discussed the subtle clues about pregnancy and other unmentionable subjects, which Victorian readers would have picked up on, but that modern readers are unlikely to notice.
