| I've just read Wuthering Heights for the second time in my life and I really, really disliked it. It is brilliant writing, though, a remarkable achievement for the age in which she lived and very readable today. I give Emily Bronte props for her best ...more | |

by Susan Bordo (Goodreads Author) |
|
| Excellent, in-depth discussion of all the primary and secondary sources and the popularizers who claim to tell Anne Boleyn's still-fascinating life story. For sheer history, Eric Ives' bio is the best, but this book is an excellent companion; it pays ...more | |
