Dear Reader 03: Space Ghosts

December 10, 2021

Finally! An episode on books! I examine and review Brightly Burning by Alexa Donne (2018) and Mrs. Rochester's Ghost by Lindsay Marcott (2021). Are these re-imaginings "successful"? How do they fare on my Jane Eyre rubric? Do I deem them worthy of the classification of "literature"? Tune in and find out!

Dear Reader 02: The Silence and the Sound

November 12, 2021

In this episode I tackle silent films and radio adaptations of Jane Eyre.

For the first part I take on the difficult task of examining two different silent films...that I have not seen! I know, I know! The 1910 version starring Irma Taylor (Jane) and Frank Hall Crane (Rochester) has been lost to time and Woman and Wife (aka The Lifted Cross) from 1918 starring Alice Brady (Jane) and Eliot Dexter (Rochester) survives in an incomplete state at the BFI National Film and Television Archive. I do my best to piece together what they are about and look at reviews at the time to give my best analysis on how well they accomplish adapting the source material.

In the second half of the episode, I look at the Lux Radio Theatre production of Jane Eyre from June 14, 1948 starring Ingrid Bergman as Jane and Robert Montgomery as Rochester. Listen to the radio play here.

Dear Reader 01: The OG Jane Eyre

October 15, 2021

In this inaugural first episode, I look at the source material Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Why do I love it so? Why do people despise it? Why does it endure? I answer these questions before diving into a plot synopsis and giving historical context to the novel. I then examine the Classical trope of "dutiful wife vs sorceress," three varied types of Christians, Jane's heroine's journey, and more!

In the second half of the episode, I speak with licensed marriage and family therapist Dr. Renae Lapin about the men in Jane's life and her relationships with them.

Dear Reader Promo

September 10, 2021

DEAR READER, A JANE EYRE PODCAST! A new limited series podcast examining the legacy of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre through the lens of its varied and various interpretations.

The series will launch with a look at the source material, investigating why it has endured for so long, why people love or hate it, and whether Mr. Rochester is an abusive love interest.

In the coming months, I will pair two interpretations each episode from similar (or dissimilar) forms of media and see how well they reflect or build upon the source material. Some examples of the media I will be looking at are television, film, radio, theatre, manga, sci-fi, "what-ifs," and more.
