The Rochester connection

[The Poetic Protégée]

You've all read 'Jane Eyre', haven't you?


If you haven't, shame on you! Go out and get yourself a copy and read it NOW...then come back to this thread.





....I mean it. Read the book!



;D

Ok.......Mr Rochester, Charlotte Bronte's wonderful creation, is widely believed to have connections to our very own Earl of Rochester, John Wilmot!
If you don't believe me, check this out:
The Real Rochester

I have been in love with Mr Rochester ever since I first read Jane Eyre, but I think I love him that little bit more now ;D

[The Rolling Rooster]

Shame on me

But this does sound positively fascinating

I know what to put on my Christmas wish list now for reading ;D

Thanks for the link Jay !

[The Poetic Protégée]

Oh yes, do read it, Roo! It's such an amazing book

I love the Rochester connection ;D

[The Rolling Rooster]

The link is full of amazing information! The intertwinement (word? ) of the histories and their life connections are eyeopening and so vast.

I had always thought there was something between Mr. Rochester & The Earl of Rochester.
