“Of course it shows it’s age because it’s a Victorian Novel” truer words have ne’er been spoken

The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in 1890, but if you read it now, it reads like it was written last week. The book, like its title character, has not aged. A true classic.

‘Jane Austen wasn’t a Victorian!’ is the alternative title for this video 😂 loved this, it was so fun!

I appreciate Virginia Woolf for her writing, in spite of not really enjoying her novels. I think she was/is literally one of the best writers ever in my opinion. Wuthering Heights is everything. The darkness. The moors. Just yes.

The dance scene in the newest adaptation of _Emma_ was so amazing. I think I was blushing a little when it was over.
I didnt like _Wuthering Heights_ .
I would fight those people about _Howard's End_ though.
I didn't like Tess the first time I read it, but hearing those reviews actually makes me want to reread it.

I don't get why characters have to be "likeable" in fact, I usually find them more realistic if they're unlikable. Brideshead Revisted is a great novel, I love the dark academia vibes of it! Have you seen the mini series of the novel staring Jeremy Ions?

Ohmygosh this video was thoroughly entertaining — thank you so much for the much-needed laugh! How you had the patience to read those reviews, I will never know ... although I think you may have inspired me to read a few 1-star reviews myself. I love so many of the classic novels — yes, they require focus and determination and even a broader understanding of the time period in which they were written — but they are so worth the effort! (I think I might join you in the Middlemarchalong, even though I just read Middlemarch last year.)

Ah I loved this 😂 Completely agree with your annoyance when people say they didn't like the characters. Another one which gets me (although it more applies to contemporary books): people hating a book because 'nothing happened' 🤦🏻‍♀️

Love this video! Some of my favourite classics are Jane Eyre (also agree about the Bertha comment), I Capture the Castle and The Bell Jar but I think I’m too nervous to look up one star reviews of them! 😅🙈

Oh my is such an amazing video, really cheered me up (and made me feel a bit less bad about my own 1* reviews). Those reviews of Tess remind me of the boys in my A Level English class...nothing has changed in 20 years eh?

I loved the Emma movie because I always want to see ALL the yearning and pining lol I seem to be completely disinterested in romance without that.
