Abstract: Oliver Goldsmith's hugely successful novel of 1766 remained for generations one of the most highly regarded and beloved works of eighteenth-century fiction. It depicts the fall and rise of the Primrose family, presided over by the benevolent vicar, the narrator of a fairy-tale plot of impersonation and deception, the abduction of a beautiful heroine and the machinations of an aristocratic villain. By turns comic and sentimental, the novel's popularity owes much to its recognizable depiction of domestic life and loving family relationships. Regarded by some as a straightforward and well-intentioned novel of sentiment, and by others as a satire on the very literary conventions and morality it seems to embody, The Vicar of Wakefield contains, in the figure of the vicar himself, one of the most harmlessly simply and unsophisticated yet also ironically complex narrators ever to appear in English fiction.
Jane Eyre / Charlotte Brontë ; edited with an introduction and notes by Stevie Davies
Penguin Books, 2006
Abstract: Dopo un'infanzia difficile, di povertà e di privazioni, la giovane Jane trova la via del riscatto: si procura un lavoro come istitutrice presso la casa di un ricco gentiluomo, il signor Rochester. I due iniziano a conoscersi, si parlano, si confrontano e imparano a rispettarsi. Dal rispetto nasce l'amore e la possibilità per Jane di una vita serena. Ma proprio quando un futuro meraviglioso appare vicino, viene alla luce una terribile verità, quasi a dimostrare che Jane non può essere felice, non può avere l'amore, non può sfuggire al suo destino. Rochester sembra celare un tremendo segreto: una presenza minacciosa si aggira infatti nelle soffitte del suo tetro palazzo.
