Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre is semi autobiographical. What does it tell us as readers of this author’s complex world? The orphan Jane Eyre experiences first hand the expectations of a society that is unsympathetic to females of her class. She finds love only to lose it abruptly. She achieves personal growth through her strong will and sense of independence. Jane Eyre goes beyond the gothic elements defining a woman's role during the late 18th century.

Could these two personalities be more incompatible? Very shy and often bullied at school, this writer of the wonderful children’s book Alice in Wonderland also endured several illnesses, one of which left him deaf in one ear.

C. S. Lewis was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and without a doubt one of the most influential writers of his day.

Episode 102: Christina Rossetti: A Woman of her Time

A Literary Cornucopia ·

2024/04/28

Much has been said about this poet. I can only add that after re-reading her poetry, I realize how unique she was not only as a poet but as a woman of strength in many ways. The Victorian Period produced two notable poets: Elizabeth Barrette Browning and Christina Georgina Rossetti. Each had her own style but of the two, Christina has left an indelible mark in my soul. ~~LMM --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/luisa-molina/message

Episode 101: April-National Poetry Month

A Literary Cornucopia ·

2024/04/01

In keeping with April as National Poetry month, I revisited Episode 3 to listen to my poem inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem "A Dream Within Dream." Poe both as a writer and as a poet is definitely in a category by himself. I've always been attracted to his narratives but his poems hold a special place in my heart. After nearly two centuries, why does his body of work appeal to so many? Is it due to the mystery that surrounds his personna? You can check his poetry out at
