The End of the Bronte's, The Start of Chateaubriand
I finished reading Charlotte Bronte's Shirley, which I liked for its satirical age and modernity. That means I have now read all the novels of all the Bronte's. I found them excellent in general, and their life stories very sad. All in all, I was impressed with their realism.
I also read Chateaubriand's Essai sur les revolutions anciennes et modernes. What erudition there was in that century, what knowledge of Antiquity in all the writers.
