Types of related texts for I&S (1 Viewer)

[steffiduck]

The set texts for our class are P&P, ADH and Brownings poetry, and i'm using Jane Eyre as one of my related text, but i'm confused with what other texts i could use.

Our teacher told us at the beginning of last term that the texts have to be "substancial", and recommended novels (most of the class is doing tess of the d'urbevilles) . But I was wondering what other types of texts could be used. I don't particulry want to read and reread novels that i didn't like the first time round.

also, why is bridget jones and Power of One listes as i&s supplementary material? i thought the texts had to be from the nineteenth century

Help Please!

How appropriate would the film adaptations of "vanity fair" or "the importance of being earnest" be as a related text?

There are a few threads for related texts here in the ext eng section. it just a matetr of looking for them...anyway a good one is little women also the solitude of self. The solitude of self is a speech and ties in well to both adh and p+p.

Here is one of them.

Hmm, quite strange. OUr teacher told us we could only do texts that were SET in the 19th Century. So say for films, iit could be produced today, but just had to be SET then. Ie would could do hte new movie Becoming Jane if we wanted to.
