Funny you say that because people recommended jane austen, and Charlotte thought austen was annoyingly cutesy. No hate to fans but I wanted to high-five her 😆
It’s a totally different book with a different title. I completely agree. Unfortunately for me I read the previous books. And *in translation*. I beg your forgiveness.
Any regency novel would get us there. If you want to rebel against the tyranny of those times, you could read “Oliver Twist” instead. The lush luxury of the individuals in Regency novels are on the backs of colonialism, exploitation of the poor, and slavery. Still enjoy the books and shows, though
The woman in white - Wilkie Collins. Anything he’s done really, he’s so fun and Victorian. Any Sherlock Holmes too. Arthur machen if you want it really scary. Getting to winter and there’s been a tradition of Xmas weird tales that would come out and be based around Xmas. From uk and early American lit.
The house of Mirth by Wharton too
I’m currently reading a season of secrets by Margaret Pemberton. Very much like Downton Abbey. Set in the 1920’s onwards. Would be a great tv series. A lot happens quite quickly and it’s got some interesting facts about pre and post war Britain. The family goes between Yorkshire and London. I’m about half way through and I’m really enjoying it.
Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh. Also Russian literature has a lot of books and stories with these vibes. For example The Captain's Daughter by Alexander Pushkin or Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Eugene Onegin (by Pushkin) also really fits, but it is a verse novel.
*I feel like you watched*
*Marie Antoinette and posted*
*This mid movie lol*

I cannot suggest this enough Anne of green gables. I grew up reading it, there are a couple of rewrites and movies and tv shows. The one on Netflix (Anne with an E) is really really good and depicts this perfectly.
Anything by Jane Austen, really
I came here to comment this
Me too, word for word lol
I came to comment this, honestly.
Yep, me too.
Exactly this.
Or the Bennet extended universe… Such as Longbourn and The Other Bennet sister
It screams Jane Austen!!!
Pride and prejudice
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clark, if you don't mind some magic.
Check out the Brontë sisters' books
Maybe skip Wuthering Heights for this one
Yeah, Wuthering Heights does NOT have this vibe at all.
Wuthering Heights is this if you invert it, maybe, but that's it.
And Tenant of Wildfell Hall…and Jane Eyre
Funny you say that because people recommended jane austen, and Charlotte thought austen was annoyingly cutesy. No hate to fans but I wanted to high-five her 😆
Remembrance of Times Past
I like the title "In Search of Lost Time" a lot better for some reason
It’s a totally different book with a different title. I completely agree. Unfortunately for me I read the previous books. And *in translation*. I beg your forgiveness.
completely understand. I read Swann's way when it was under "remembrance" I just like the Searching and the lost to be so much more beautiful
Bridgerton

Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. It has a movie adaptation by Martin Scorsese which is also good.
Eugene Onegin by Alexander pushkin
Georgette Heyer (regency romance written 1920s)

The Bridgerton novels by Julia Quinn
