Move Over, Austen, This Season's All About Brontë

"Reader, I married him." This iconic line makes Jane Eyre the most well-known of Charlotte Brontë's novels. The story of Jane's life from youth through adulthood makes it the ultimate coming-of-age novel, filled with examinations of class, sexuality, and feminism.

The only novel written by Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights is a sweeping gothic tale, the story of Catherine and Heathcliff. Haunting, atmospheric, and unforgettable.

The largely autobiographical debut of Anne Brontë, Agnes Grey follows our protagonist through various positions as a governess. The themes of oppression of women and animal abuse still resonate today.

We get a glimpse into each of the Brontë sisters in The Madwoman Upstairs, Catherine Lowell's gorgeous and thoroughly unputdownable debut. When Samantha Whipple, last remaining descendant of the Brontë sisters, enrolls at her father's alma mater, Oxford University, long-forgotten objects from her past reappear, and so begins a literary treasure hunt where she discovers her family's legacy.

Instead of "Reader, I married him," we get "Reader, I murdered him" in Jane Steele, a thrill ride of a novel. A must read for lovers of Jane Eyre, dark humor, and mystery.

In Reader, I Married Him, we get stories from 20 of our favorite authors; think: Tracy Chevalier, Emma Donoghue, Francine Prose, Lionel Shriver, and Audrey Niffenegger, all inspired by that famous line from Jane Eyre.

This gothic romance takes inspiration from Wuthering Heights. In Solsbury Hill, Eleanor Abbott is summoned to the Yorkshire moors by her dying aunt. Once there, she discovers a family connection to Emily Brontë and even gets a visit from her ghost.

In this modern retelling of Jane Eyre, Re Jane introduces us to Jane Re, a half-Korean, half-American orphan who is desperate to escape Flushing, Queens, and her oppressive uncle. A clever and fresh take on the coming-of-age story.

Looking for a young-adult take on Catherine and Heathcliff's doomed love affair? April Lindner has got you covered in Catherine, where our lovebirds are struggling musicians on the brink of success.

Before she tackled Wuthering Heights, April Linder took on Jane Eyre in Jane, a young-adult retelling of the classic coming-of-age story. Here, Rochester is recast as a bad-boy rock star, and Jane, a recent college dropout after her parents' passing, becomes his daughter's nanny.
