It’s no secret that Stephenie had a loose inspiration for each of her books from classic literature.
- Twilight: Pride and Prejudice
- New Moon: Romeo and Juliet
- Eclipse: Wuthering Heights
- Breaking Dawn: The Merchant of Venice
and A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Well now it seems that sales for Wuthering Heights are up to record highs in France, and booksellers are attributing the success to Stephenie Meyer.
“We have sold as many copies of Wuthering Heights in the first two months of 2009 as we usually sell in a whole year,” said a spokeswoman for Le Livre de Poche, the publisher of the French translation…We are on course to sell several tens of thousands of copies this year, which is exceptional. The enthusiasm has prompted a lot of bookshops to put Brontë on display next to Stephenie Meyer, and that has obviously encouraged people to buy both of them.”
Have any of you picked up a classic novel because of Stephenie Meyer?
