There is a 1996 BBC series of “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall”. I thought it was pretty good. You can probably find it on a streaming service. I thought Matthias Schoenaerts was wonderful playing Gabriel Oak to Carey Mulligan’s Bathsheba in “Far From the Madding Crowd”. Tilly, I agree while you’re in your teens and have fewer responsibilities, chunky books are usually not intimidating for avid readers. It’s a long time since I read Tess - I think I cried. I read it on my own when I was the same age as Tess. Having read “The Woodlanders” within the last few years I definitely remember crying over that major character who encountered one misfortune after another. 😢
I will try to get hold of that version of Tenant - hopefully it's as good as other BBC miniseries adaptations of the 90s! Yes absolutely agree that he captures Gabriel Oaks very well. He brings the right level of maturity with sensitivity. I need to read The Woodlanders - have heard many good things about it.
Wonderful duo of interviews. Thank you both. I've read more poetry from the period and two poets I love are Christina Rossetti and A E Hausman. I've cried with both Rossetti & Hausman's. His Shropshire Lad is incredibly emotional especially Bredon Hill. I read Tenant of Wildfell Hall for Victober. Stylistically it is very different from either of her sisters and I believe that she 'stole' in many thoughts about women's equality under the banner of morality.
Thank you. I have read a little Housman as my dad once brought some along to a fmaily holiday in Shropshire and had us trying to map the poems to the modern landscape. I do need to try morer Rossetti. Yes I agree that she handled her subject matter very well and skillfully introduced a few challenging notions in a way that would be palatable to her audience.
It took me several attempts to finish Wuthering Heights. Last year I finally read it and really appreciate it now. But, curiously, I think Anne is my favourite Brontë.
I've read it twice now, but for me I think that's enough. I can appreciate what it does, but I just don't find it as enjoyable or balanced as her sisters' books.
If you find Dickens readable I know you’d whizz through Trollope, his books never seem as long as they are! Great tag Tilly and looking forward to more Victober content from you and you and Ros!
There is an adaptation of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall which I quite enjoyed (although I am not one to talk, since AB's novel is currently sitting on my nightstand still waiting to be read for the first time). Released in 1996 and stars Toby Stephens, Rupert Everett, and Tara Fitzgerald.
I am currently reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall so I would love an adaptation of that. It’s shocking that there isn’t one I agree!! Loved hearing your answers Tilly 😊
Can not imagine Jane Eyre without thinking about Wide Sargasso Sea. Think that it shows how Victorian books can make great impact in the modern time. There is a strong bond between them.
I also always loved the books I studied in school and was confused by why eberyone hated them. I was intimidated by Trollope, I read four of his Barset Chronicles last month and they are so readable. I didn't at all feel like they were long (other then I was so excited to know what happened I wanted it to go faster but I was also so enjoying where I was)
Yes I think I will overcome my Trollope fears easier than my Eliot fears. I think a lot depends on the teaching, but a lot also comes from what we read by ourselves and how much we're able to accept the differences of different times and styles.
@@tillysshelf yes I think that's definitely true. I am reading Silas Marner this year but I am not sure how much my Eliot wings will extend. I am super excited to do this tag!
I didn't find Middlemarch that tough once I was 100 or so pages in, for me Bleak House is much more difficult to get into. Trollope is my number 1 by victorian, I hope you carry on with barchester towers!
I have the second book ready to go qhen I can get to it. Yes I think Eliot takes a bit more getting into - I'm not quite there yet with The Mill on the Floss. But Bleak House was an instant hit for me, I find Dickens addictive.
@@tillysshelf I will! I'm actually reading Great Expectations now and enjoying it! I DNF'd Bleak House, I don't think it was a good first full length Dickens to try.
@@tillysshelf I may have to do it next year as I have all my videos planned for this month. I have a few about classics coming up. Jane Eyre and wuthering heights are my favourite classics ever. You have got me wanting to re read bleak house at some pointv
No pressure whatsoever (I'm hopeless at tags anyway) but if you remember it next year that would be nice! Jane Eyre is just an absolute favourite though I have more mixed feelings about Wuthering Heights.

I did enjoy The Warden but didn't quite manage another one yet. One day!

I will have to look!
@@tillysshelf it is quite good. I made a video about it for victober two years ago :)
Great tag!

Apparently there was one in 1996! So have to check that out.

I read it a few years ago. It's wonderful how a great work of literature can elicit responses from different perspectives and generations.
Dream duo ❤ Happy Victober!
Happy Victober to you too!
Hi Claire 😊
Claire I tag you for this if you're doing any Victober reading

By the way, consider yourself tagged if you want to share more on your school reading and Trollope experiences!
@@tillysshelf yes I think that's definitely true. I am reading Silas Marner this year but I am not sure how much my Eliot wings will extend.
I am super excited to do this tag!
Thanks for the tag, I've just put my version up. It is interesting that your experience of Jane Eyre was so similar to Katie Lumsden's.
Yes, I realised that. I guess we are very similar in age so would both have been at exactly the right moment for the book when the series came out.
I didn't find Middlemarch that tough once I was 100 or so pages in, for me Bleak House is much more difficult to get into. Trollope is my number 1 by victorian, I hope you carry on with barchester towers!

I hope to never forget Joe.
The tenant of wildfell hall is sooo amazing.. I also struggle with George Elliot and have only enjoyed silas marner 😊
Glad I'm not alone. I'm 10% into Mill on the Floss and I wish I was reading Dickens!
Would love to see your version of this by the way!

As a piece of storytelling TOWH is SO DARING!
Yes, it's really phenomenal for the time.
A great tag! I always enjoy y'all talking together 🎉
Thanks! We enjoy getting together. And I know Ros told you you're tagged.
@@tillysshelf She did, she told me ☺ Appreciated!
Took me many tries to read Middlemarch. Worth it in the end,I may even re -read at some point.
I'll get there one day!
I still need to reach the tenant of wildfell hall.
Next Victober?
