Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> We’re thrilled to have Catholic novelist Eleanor Bourg Nicholson back with us today discussing one of our favorite books of all time: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Eleanor is a wife, homeschooling mother of four, director of religious education at her parish, former assistant editor at Dappled Things and the Saint Austin Review, has previously published a novella entitled <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0976858088/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fountainsofcarrots-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0976858088&linkId=a5b116ea4a1f3b8aa49beb0875b7225c">The Letters of Magdalen Montague</a>, and she has also edited the Ignatius Critical editions of <a href="http://ignatiusnovels.com/novels/dracula/">Dracula</a>, <a href="http://ignatiusnovels.com/novels/mansfield-park/">Mansfield Park</a>, and <a href="http://ignatiusnovels.com/novels/sense-and-sensibility/">Sense and Sensibility</a>.<br> <br> <br> <br> In this episode we nerd out on all things Jane Eyre! We start out with the importance of reading the classics and how good books make our souls expand. We also cover the very important questions such as whether Mr. Rochester’s marriage to Bertha was really valid and if he could have gotten an annulment and saved Jane a whole lot of heartbreak. We have OPINIONS! So grab a cup of strong tea and imagine you’re about to embark on a blustery walk on the moor.<br> <br> <br> <br> Eleanor’s new book:<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.ignatius.com/A-Bloody-Habit-P3030.aspx">A Bloody Habit</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Remember to use the coupon code CARROTS when ordering any of the Ignatius Critical Editions of the classics we discussed OR Eleanor’s book from <a href="http://ignatius.com/">Ignatius Press</a> to get 25% off!<br> <br> <br> <br> Books we talked about today:<br> <br> <br> <br> Links to Amazon are affiliate links.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.ignatius.com/Mansfield-Park-P1171.aspx">Mansfield Park </a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0241198968/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fountainsofcarrots-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0241198968&linkId=0df96faa59b02f84d23ab7b973efc474">Vilette</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.ignatius.com/promotions/ignatiuscriticaleditions/bronte-jane-eyre.htm">Jane Eyre</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.ignatius.com/promotions/ignatiuscriticaleditions/dickens-great-expectations.htm">Great Expectations</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2WqZVXu">Hard Times</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2IAozzI">A Christmas Carol</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2WtD3qd">Wide Sargasso Sea</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.ignatius.com/promotions/ignatiuscriticaleditions/mission.htm">About Ignatius Critical Editions</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Our past episode with Eleanor: <a href="http://fountainsofcarrots.com/foc-091-delving-into-the-mind-of-catholic-novelist-with-eleanor-bourg-nicholson/">Delving into the Mind of a Catholic Novelist</a><br> <br> <br> <br> How to connect with Eleanor:<br> <br> <br> <br> * <a href="http://www.facebook.com/eleanorbourgnicholson/">Facebook</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Thanks again to<a href="http://ignatius.com/"> </a><a href="http://www.ignatius.com/promotions/ignatiuscriticaleditions/">Ignatius Press</a> for sponsoring today’s episode!
