'Dickens... I'm quite keen on him' said Katy in the understatement of the year. :p
XD
What a joy to watch you talk about literature.
Thank you!
This was brilliant! Thanks for the tag 😃 I was going to do this first thing tomorrow but now after that Trollope question, I think I need to finish Doctor Thorne first because I really think it will beat Barchester Towers for me lol.
also I know my answers to the consumption question and know how to go about that w/o spoilers much the same as how you did but for the couples question idk how to go about the answers w/o spoilers, any advice?😃
I know, it's hard to avoid the spoilers! I reckon if you just say the book but not the characters, that's maybe the best. And yes, you need to finish Doctor Thorne so we can discuss it! So many things to discuss.
I have just downloaded North and South to my kindle in an effort to read more Victorian literature. ...good job!!!
Great! I hope you enjoy it.
Great tag :) you really make me want to read Our Mutual Friend
I hope you enjoy it if you do pick it up :)
This is such a great tag with such different questions (:
Thanks!
I am definitely going to film this tag soon since I am out of ideas to film and this fits perfectly. Thank you for tagging me. x
Yay, please do :)
My first Victorian novel, though I never thought of it as Victorian, was of course Alice's Adventures Underground and Through the Looking Glass. (Two novels, I know, but they were in one volume I got as a child.) I must have been in fourth grade. But there was one summer when I read Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Ivanhoe, Robin Hood - I think I was 11 or 12. Favorite couples? Bathsheba and Gabriel Oak and Lizzie Hexam and Eugene Wrayburn, I think. Or Fred Vincy and Mary Garth. Eliot does best though at painting unhappy couples, I think, like Lydgate and Rosamond. Favorite death from consumption is probably Helen Burns in Jane Eyre. Most of the consumptive deaths from that time that are favorites are in operas, and you don't count non-English as Victorian, do you? Or it would be Marguerite in La Dame aux Camelias. I've read (in translation) the novel, not the play.
Bathsheba and Gabriel, and Lizzy and Eugene, are great choices. Fred and Mary are probably my favouite characters in all of Eliot! No, in general, only British and Irish literature counts as Victorian. I've never read Marguerite in La Dame aux Camelias, but I'll look it up.
love the teapot earrings
Thanks!
My poor wishlist! :-)
Apologies :P
LOL at favourite novel where someone dies of consumption... isn't that all of them?? Nice job, I may do this!
I know, right? In nearly every Victorian novel...
Already started #victober with some Hardy!
Enjoy :)
I ordered Thyrza by Gissing. I am definitely going to read some of his work. Thnk you!
Gissing is amazing!
I've started my booktube channel, but the victorians take me awhile to read. You must be a genius. Doing Dicken's "Ghost Stories", Collins' "Haunted Hotel" since I'm doing spooky, scary, horrifying books. Thanks for the inspiration.
Ha I doubt it. But I'm glad you're enjoying reading Victorian literature and I'm looking forward to checking out your booktube channel
I have a lot to learn. I'm getting an editing app, Putting up notes to keep me from having mind blanks, etc... I talk very slow, and lisp, but on Facebook am getting anywhere from 35 to 110 hits. Less than a handful on UA-cam, but need to learn how to put on captions and links. I'm blogging "Carmella" next. I thanks for the inspiration.
You make me want to read Dickens!
Great - you should :)
I need a strong cuppa tea. Whew! You wear me out in the wishesness of your youth.
Well, anything Dickens, but honestly most anything of the 18th and 19th centuries. My
avourite consumptive character would be Violetta in La Dame aux Camelias.
The Tenant of Wildfeld Hall.
I really love any old girl who kicks men's a_$#&.
If I wanted children the would be Nell and Oliver. Was that one of the questions?
Where is my tea?
Oh, are there little silver tea cup ear bobs to go with the tea pots?
Where is Mr. Rooney?
Great video, Ms Lumsden. Your Videos are a tonic!
Thank you! And Mr Rooney, for the most part, is studying law in the other room. He will return at some point to be sure. I'll have to look up La Dame aux Camelias.
In La Dame aux Camelias it's Marguerite; Violetta is from La Traviata.
