Welcome to my Classic Couple series! In this feature (which I try to do on a weekly-ish basis), I pair up classic books with more contemporary ones to discuss the similarities and differences between them. Here is an archive of all the posts in this series that I’ve done in the order that they were posted:
- Great Expectations and A Prayer for Owen Meany
- Robinson Crusoe and The Martian
- 1984 and Illuminae
- The Song of the Lark and Paper Towns
- The Woman in White and Gone Girl
- On the Road and The Road
- The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Goldfinch
- Jane Eyre and Jellicoe Road
- The Turn of the Screw and We Were Liars
- Middlemarch and White Teeth
- Frankenstein and Jurassic Park
- Howards End and On Beauty
- Between the Acts and Station Eleven
- Chronicle of a Death Foretold and The Secret History
- Orlando and Every Day
- The Lost World and Jurassic Park
- Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea
- Middlemarch and Nervous Conditions
- Romeo & Juliet and The Hunger Games
- The Catcher in the Rye and The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Have any pairs you’d like to see me discuss, or books you would like to see paired up? I’d love to hear your suggestions!
