![]() Give me a retelling of this story with her as the main character (one in which she doesn't miss her mark). Also, Kerttu/Homsantuu is f*cking badass. It's short, easy to get through and one of the few Finnish classics that's actually, you know, good. The opinions voiced in the play are bold and unapologetic, and the hypocrisy of their opposition is beautifully illustrated in the upper middle class's touting of religious dogma and victim blaming, something that sadly rings true even in today's world.Įven if 19th century literature isn't really your thing (trust me, it isn't mine either), I recommend you give this book a try. ![]() Every scene is essential to the story with none of the standard 19th century waffle to wade through. I actually read this book in one sitting, eager to know what happens next. ![]() ![]() Unlike the alleged masterpieces produced by her contemporaries, Minna Canth's work has withstood the test of time admirably and manages to create drama and interactions that even the modern reader can relate to and sympathize with. Seriously, this book was so good that it almost makes up for all the lousy reading experiences that preceded it. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the best author of 19th century Finland. ![]() ![]() With an introduction by Alison Bechdel, Charlotte Bront before Jane Eyre presents a stunning examination of a woman who battled against the odds to make her voice heard. ![]() She sought to cast an empathetic lens on characters often ignored by popular literature of the time, questioning societal assumptions with a sharp intellect and changing forever the landscape of western literature.

You think wrong -I have as much soul as you, -and full as much heartĬharlotte Bront 's Jane Eyre is a beloved classic, celebrated today by readers of all ages and revered as a masterwork of literary prowess. ![]() ![]()
