The Poison Belt was the second story that Conan Doyle wrote about Professor George Edward Challenger. Much of it takes place in a single room in Challenger’s house in Sussex – rather oddly, given that it follows The Lost World, the first Challenger story set largely outdoors in the wilds of South America. Challenger has predicted that the Earth is moving into a belt of poisonous ether which, based on its effect on the people of Sumatra earlier in the day, he expects to stifle humanity. Challenger seals his companions in a room with cylinders of oxygen, which he (correctly) believes will counter the effect of the ether.

Jane Eyre follows the emotions and the experiences of its title character, including her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the master of fictitious Thornfield Hall. In its internalization of the action—the focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane’s moral and spiritual sensibility and all events are colored by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry—Jane Eyre changed the writing of  fiction. Charlotte Brontë has been called the “first historian of the private consciousness” and the literary ancestor of writers like James Joyce and Marcel Proust. The novel
contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the unique character of Jane and the novel’s exploration of the themes of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.

This is generally regarded as the first gothic novel, initiating a literary genre which would become extremely popular in the later 18th century and early 19th century. Thus, The Castle of Otranto is arguably the forerunner to such authors as Charles Robert Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe and Daphne du Maurier. It tells the story of Manfred, lord of the castle, and his family. The book begins on the wedding-day of his sickly son Conrad and princess Isabella. Shortly before the wedding, however, Conrad is crushed to death by a gigantic helmet that falls on him from above. This inexplicable event is particularly ominous in light of an ancient prophecy “That the castle and lordship of Otranto should pass from the present family, whenever the real owner should be grown too large to inhabit it.”
