While Gothic is considered a subgenera of romanticism the two meet and diverge at various points. Join us for our Bronte episode where we break down two classic novels from the genre.

In this episode of Everyone Should Read, Drew Sylva and Kate Watters dive deep into the dark and stormy world of gothic literature through two iconic novels: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. We explore how these literary classics go beyond the haunted manors and doomed romances to reflect pressing sociological themes - including class struggle, gender roles, racism, and moral power - and how their brooding landscapes and unforgettable characters still shape pop culture today.

Whether you’re a lifelong Bronte fan, a student of English literature, or simply fascinated by the lasting legacy of Gothic fiction, this episode will give you fresh insight into why Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights remain cultural touchstones.
