Welcome to the World of Period Dramas

As you read my blog, dedicated to period dramas, you’ll find that my story began with Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice. The goal for this blog is to discover more of our interest (period dramas) and have tons of fun in the process. I’m grateful for any feedback I get. I want everyone who comes to this page to enjoy it thoroughly but I know that is not always possible. However, any polite suggestions are greatly appreciated! I am eager to know how I can improve this page and make it more interesting. But please be aware, if you want to change everything, I think it would be good for you to know the best way make something exactly the way you want it is to do it yourself. In other words, why not get your own blog if you don’t like what you see here? But I am eager to discover more book and movies related to this topic so, please don’t be afraid to leave a comment telling me of your favorite period drama or a period drama that you don’t see here but thinks belongs. I am a person and I can only go so fast so please be patient! There’s no way I’m going to be able to put ever period drama ever made on here but, I will promise to do my best. So, take off your shoes, kick back and relax, and welcome to the world where period dramas come to life!

Enjoy!

Thank You,

Jane Eyre




“Jane Eyre” was written by Charlotte Bronte and published in 1847.

I would call Jane Eyre a different kind of writing from the other ‘classic’ romances I so often enjoy. As an orphan, Jane was abusive, first by her aunt and cousin, then at Lowood Academy. As she gets older she finds herself working as a governess in Thornfield Manor. Everything seems to be going well until the gruff master, Mr. Rochester, makes an appearance. They seem to find each other a challenge as they discover each other’s virtues and vices. But will their pasts and secrets get in the way of their future together?
