For those of you who missed the earlier announcement, I have been working on a new podcast project with Nicole called What’s Old is New where we look at enduring works of classic literature. One way we measure that a classic has endured, and one thing we talk about on the blog, is if it informs modern works of literature, whether they are reinterpretations, or whether they simply take inspiration from the original. Our first episode covered Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein” and we’re currently finishing up a show on “Sherlock Holmes,” which will be live on December 13th.
Next up, “Jane Eyre!”
I’ve got some great historical fiction about Charlotte Bronte lined up, plus a reread of “The Thirteenth Tale,” (and “Jane Eyre” itself, of course) but if you have any must reads on “Jane Eyre,” let me know! I’m interested in historical fiction, reimaginings, or really interesting lit crit.
Get in touch with me here or on the What’s Old is New tumblr. Email, comments, anything goes!

I am actually planning a readalong as the movie is coming out in March.
Also, I have a recent post lining up some recent blog posts (from others) re: Jane Eyre. books i done read did some great comparisons to Rebecca, Wide Sargasso Sea, and The Crimson Petal and the White.
Oh how fun! I’m really about about reading the Brontes and Austen and the like so maybe your podcasts will help a bit.
Love your blog. So much to read and see. I’m going to look around. Must subscribe.
I’m planning to read Jane Eyre in the next few months, so I look forward to the episode pertaining to it!
Thanks so much, Erin! The show should be live right at the end of January.
Oh — I just start listening to podcasts — will look for yours now as I love the premise!
Can’t wait to hear your take on “Jane Eyre”–one of my all-time favs.
Can’t wait to hear it! I love Jane Eyre.
