I have a 17 month old daughter and the literature that I intend her to be reading is very different to the 'dross' and 'cyber-dross' (like Marija mentions), that I was witness to. <br /><br />Good to meet you in the carnival :)<br />Gx<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905227914095176928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948320579820137387.post-27381522591031358212014-05-28T06:43:22.176-07:002014-05-28T06:43:22.176-07:00I thought the Prof was ancient - at 39!I thought the Prof was ancient - at 39!Ana Salotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373695860557420762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948320579820137387.post-38780258597695923012014-05-28T05:45:37.299-07:002014-05-28T05:45:37.299-07:00I think you're absolutely right Ana - the impl...I think you're absolutely right Ana - the implicit is definitely preferable to the explicit. There is so much subtlety in the relationships in the literature that you describe - and it's far closer to real life than explicit cyber-dross. <br /><br />It's funny that you mention Professor Bhaer because I actually quite liked him! (And in the 1994 film he was played by Gabriel Byrne which - to my eyes - was good casting!) And I loved the romance between Jane Eyre and Rochester - definitely a sheer masterclass in writing about a 'slow burn' relationship.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading more of your blog posts :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
