We didn't have a 3 hour lecture on photoshop!

We didn't have a lecture at all!

ps. If you are a literary critic and writing about Jane Eyre, please note: Edward Rochester lives at Thornfield Hall, not Thornwood Hall. -_-

ETA: Ooh, this is interesting!

Also, as the latest post on Bronte Blog pointed out, make sure that you list the author as Charlotte Bronte, not Emily. ;)

Oh that's an old one. But my favourite was when poor Charlotte was credited with having written an erotic werewolf romance novel "In Her Nature" or something like that. *snerk!*

Haha, that's hilarious!

Last summer when I worked at Blockbuster, the trailer tape on the televisions was advertising "Clueless" about once an hour saying that it was "a modern adaptation of Jane Eyre's classic novel Emma." I died a little bit each time, sigh.

It looks like Chapters doesn't (http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Lunewulf-In-Her-Nature-Charlotte-Bronte/9781419951749-item.html?pticket=tv3w0f45ezx5ghbzdt3fwy55qwZ3gjMd1TW7k7dy7t60VuNnp%2f0%3d) read Bronteana! (http://bronteana.blogspot.com)

...That's fascinating- how they could get it so very very wrong!

People just hate fact-checking, apparently, and think that everything from the 19th century is the same.

Wierd... There is only one Victorian writer, and that writer may or may not have been, in fact, a fictional character!

The other authors? All just pseudonyms. That Jane Eyre was very prolific - and long-lived!
