No body of writing has engendered more other bodies of writing than the Bible, but the Brontë corpus comes alarmingly close. Due to their forced or voluntary isolation, the Brontë sisters constituted a separate literary group which neither had predecessors nor successors. There is not a “Brontë” line such as exists among authors of realist and naturalist novels, and in poetry, the romantic, and the symbolic. 
JaneAusten's works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism.

Jane Eyre《简爱》
在19世纪中叶英国偏远的乡村，女主人公简·爱是个孤儿，从小寄养在舅母家中，受尽百般欺凌。后来进了慈善学校，灵魂和肉体都经受了苦痛的折磨，但她以顽强的意志完成了学业，成绩优秀。为了追求独立的生活，她应聘在桑菲尔德府任家庭教师。由于志趣相同，和主人真诚相爱，历经磨难，终于和自己心爱的人在一起。
Jane Eyre is the heart-wrenching story of a young girl saddled with both a cruel aunt and a bitter upbringing at Lowood School. Her soul not broken from these encounters, she becomes governess to the children of the handsome Mr. Rochester, with whom she falls deeply in love, but the dark secrets of Rochester's past and outside influence threaten to swallow their budding romance.

Wuthering Heights《呼啸山庄》
《呼啸山庄》是英国女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉·勃朗特的作品，是19世纪英国文学的代表作之一。小说描写吉卜赛弃儿希斯克利夫被山庄老主人收养后，因受辱和恋爱不遂．外出致富。回来后对与其女友凯瑟琳结婚的地主林顿及其子女进行报复的故事。
The intense and wildly passionate Heath cliff tells the story of his life, his all-consuming love for Catherine Earns haw and the doomed outcome of that relationship, leading to his revenge. Poetic, complex and grand in its scope, Emily Bronte’s masterpiece is considered one of the most unique gothic novels of its time.
伊丽莎白出身于小地主家庭，有四个姐妹，母亲班纳特太太整天操心着为女儿物色称心如意的丈夫。新来的邻居宾利来先生和他的朋友达西打破了她们一家人单调的乡村生活。宾利来和伊丽莎白的姐姐简互生情愫；达西对善良聪明的伊丽莎白产生了好感，而伊丽莎白却对达西不可一世的傲慢心存偏见，不接受他的感情。然而，世事难料，宾利来和简因为误会，关系危在旦夕；达西的种种作为，展示了性格中和伊丽莎白相同的善良一面，逐渐赢得了伊丽莎白的好感。两对有情人能否终成眷属？班纳特姐妹们能否得到自己想要的生活？简·奥斯汀以女性的特殊视角描绘了她对爱情的观点：寻找真正爱自己的人，追求完美的爱情。

Pride and Prejudice《傲慢与偏见》
Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman, Mr Bennet, living in Longbourn.
Set in England in the late 18th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after two gentlemen have moved into their neighbourhood: the rich and eligible Mr Bingley, and his status-conscious friend, the even richer and more eligible Mr Darcy. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy is disdainful of local society and repeatedly clashes with the Bennets' lively second daughter, Elizabeth.

Sense and Sensibility《理智与情感》
埃莉诺和玛丽安娜两姐妹生在一个英国乡绅家庭，姐姐善于用理智来控制情感，妹妹的情感却毫无节制，因此面对爱情时，她们作出了不同的反映……小说以这两位女主角曲折复杂的婚事风波为主线，通过“理智与情感”的幽默对比，提出了道德与行为的规范问题。
Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

Emma《爱玛》
她是一个美丽、聪慧而富有的姑娘，同时也是一位不折不扣的幻想家。她热心关注身边的浪漫故事，却又固执地认为自己永远不会陷入其中。她自作主张为孤女哈丽埃特导演了一次又一次的恋爱。当哈丽埃特误以为自己爱上了地方官奈特利先生时，爱玛才惊觉原来自己也在爱着奈特利先生。这虽与她一开始就宣布的终身不嫁的誓言有悖，但坠入情网的她不得不放弃自己天真的誓言。
As daughter of the richest, most important man in the small provincial village of Highbury, Emma Woodhouse is firmly convinced that it is her right—perhaps even her “duty”—to arrange the lives of others. Considered by most critics to be Austen’s most technically brilliant achievement, “Emma” sparkles with ironic insights into self-deception, self-discovery, and the interplay of love and power.

There was no possibility of taking a walk that day. We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning; but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre, and a rain so penetrating, that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question.
I was glad of it; I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.
The said Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mamma in the drawing-room: she lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her (for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) looked perfectly happy. Me, she had dispensed from joining the group, saying, "She regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance; but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation that I was endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition, a more attractive and sprightly manner--something lighter, franker, more natural, as it were--she really must exclude me from privileges intended only for contented, happy little children."
"What does Bessie say I have done?" I asked.
"Jane, I don't like cavillers or questioners; besides, there is something truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that manner. Be seated somewhere; and until you can speak pleasantly, remain silent."
A small breakfast-room adjoined the drawing-room, I slipped in there. It contained a bookcase; I soon possessed myself of a volume, taking care that it should be one stored with pictures. I mounted into the window-seat: gathering up my feet, I sat crosslegged, like a Turk; and, having drawn the red moreen curtain nearly close, I was shrined in double retirement.
