  • Jane Eyre: After a wretched childhood as an orphan, Jane Eyre arrives at Thornfield Hall as governess to the young ward of its brooding owner, Mr. Rochester.

  • Victoria & Albert: The romantic story of two lovers who create an intimate private world amidst the pomp and politics of the court of St. James.
