Jennifer Jelinkova | I Don't Like How We Talk About the Brontës @InsertLiteraryPunHere | Uploaded October 2018 | Updated October 2024, 46 minutes ago.
Over the moaning of my radiator, I moan myself about how the Brontës are discussed on BookTube and in popular culture, including:

-Overlooking Anne (Ellis and I are not fans of this);
-Constructing these authors in our own images of perfection;
-Pitting the sisters against each other;
-Lazily distinguishing them;
-Treating their novels like autobiography;
-Dismissing their work;
-And treating Brontë romances like models for real relationships (love yourselves, people)
