My Top 10 Victorian Novels  

Such an excellent list. I just read Jane Eyre in January, and I completely love it! I'm just starting to get to know the Bronte sisters, and still have Wuthering Heights on my list and now I'm getting super excited about reading it.

The way you said “Sir!” When you addressed the cat, cracked me up 😂 You’ve really made me more interested to read Hard Times - a well paced, tight Dickens novel?! Sign me up. And I really need to read more Wilkie Collins.

Such a wonderful list! I really need to read Moths, clearly :) And I totally agree with you on Wuthering Heights.

You made me buy The Moth. When you read a part of it in one of your videos, I just had to have it. It's huge! I was a scorer for testing for student essays. They had to write an essay on the scene where Jane meets Mr Rodchester in the woods. One of the oldest miniseries of maybe the seventies was used. Jane narrated it. I loved it and as I scored the essays, those kids did a good job. I want that video but I can't seem to find it anywhere. It may cost a lot, but I loved that particular adaptation of Jane Eyre. My favorite Victorian novel is Wives and Daughters and Cranford and I do like North and South. I like Under the Greenwood Tree too. You can tell, I like happy endings.

I've done many of thees, but I have not read yet Woman in White and I cannot wait!

Just added a bunch of books to my library. Thanks for the recommendations!

Will try! Thank you!!!

I found The Tenant of Wildfell Hall very readable but also annoying because the wife returns to nurse her husband at the expense of her health.....she has,afterall,her son who she adores.

Wilkie Collins is quite often left out and I cannot understand why. Good idea to start with The Woman in White followed with The Moonstone.....the rest is up for grabs !

😎👍

Who is the author of Moths? I can't find this book. Thanks:)

You didn't explain what you hated about the ending of The Mill on the Floss. Very rude
