O marvellous hive mind that is my flist
I am deep in The Essay currently, and working on a section about literary references. One I'm finding interesting is the heroine meeting the hero when he is on a horse - astride the mighty stallion, pulsing with power etcetc. Both Woolf and Holtby use it in the books I'm working on (Orlando and South Riding) but in interestingly different ways.
Can anyone think of any other examples, before 1928? I know about Jane Eyre, and there's another good one in Sense and Sensibility, but I'd like a few others if possible, especially in popular literature.
I might promise to be your slave forever if you can find me other examples, but I'd probably be lying. I'm off to look at TV Tropes, so if I'm not back soon, send a search-party....
