Romance Double Feature: Emma and Jane Eyre

If you like the period pieces, set in Victorian England, then you will love both of these excellent renditions. One is by Jane Austen, Queen of the Romance Novels – the other by one of the Bronte sisters – both of whom each wrote an incredible opus. These two movies are a delight to watch. They take us back to a simpler time – except it was not simple to navigate the very difficult nuances of moral behavior. The slightest hint of scandal, associations with people below your station – all pitfalls that seem unbelievable to our modern society. However, they were all too real to the people who lived, loved and balanced their hearts against the mores of their day. These romance novels have been copied, but never equaled. Don’t miss either of them!
