Wallpaper Wednesday | Literary Heros {fin}

I hope you're all having a marvelous Wednesday!
Here, it's raining/sleeting and about 40*F - rather chilly for June!
It's seriously cramping my style - none of my animals want to be, or should be, out in this kind of weather, so I'm having to feed them hay today.  And I just opened our last bale of hay.  Yikes!
I might put the horses out later with their rain sheets/blankets on.

Anyway...

Here are the last wallpapers in the Literary Heroes Wallpaper series...

from Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility

Colonel Brandon

portrayed here by Alan Rickman (1995 film)

and portrayed here by David Morrissey (2008 TV serial)

Edward Ferrars

portrayed here by Hugh Grant (1995 film)

and portrayed here by Dan Stevens (2008 TV serial)

.....

and from Jane Austen's Persuasion

Captain Frederick Wentworth

portrayed here by Rupert Penry-Jones  (2007 TV drama)

-As always, each wallpaper picture links to its full sized image and are also available on the For You page-
.....

And, until I can find or take screencaps from Anne of Green Gables and The Scarlet Pimpernel, we shall bid adieu to our beloved Literary Heroes.

.....

Next time on Wallpaper Wednesday get set for...

Doctor Who!!!

p.s.

Which is your favorite adaptation of Sense & Sensibility?

I enjoy them both, but the 1995 version is my favorite - Kate Winslet is Marianne.   

But I LOVE that Colonel Brandon duels Willoughby in the 2008 version...although I don't think I'll ever be able to look at David Morrissey the same way again after watching Our Mutual Friend (1998).  Bradley Headstone seriously freaked me out!
Okay, I'm going now...really, I am.

Happy Trails!

belated Wallpaper Wednesday {Literary Heroes}

Well, this is more like it - a belated Wallpaper Wednesday post! ;)

In this case, my excuse is the infamous Net Nanny.

Recently, she has taken fiendish delight in blocking certain things on my Blogger, including comment moderation, post editing, and the new post option.  Despite the fact that my dad has added every url we can think of to the "do not block" list, she persists in blocking them.

grr

My personal opinion is that Net Nanny is plotting to take over my computer, then the internet and finally...the world.  

Yes, I have been watching Doctor Who, so my opinion might be slightly influenced;)

But anyways, on to this weeks wallpapers....

Theodore "Laurie" Laurence

from Louisa May Alcott's wonderful book Little Women

portrayed here by Christian Bale

So...I guess Laurie rated three wallpapers.

He is adorable;)

Mr. Roger Hamley

from Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives and Daughters
portrayed here by Anthony Howell

And one of Roger and Molly (Justine Waddell), because I love this scene.

...~...~...~...~...~...~...~...~...

- All wallpapers link to their full size images, and are also available on the For You page -

And I'm afraid that's all I have for this week - I became momentarily distracted creating fantastic, brilliant and magnificent Doctor Who wallpapers.  So sorry;)

Also, I'm having not a few difficulties finding screencaps and/or high-res Gilbert Blythe images, so if anyone knows where I can find some, please let me know!

I'll be wrapping up the Literary Heroes Wallpaper Series next week with...
Colonel Brandon
Edward Ferrars
and whoever else I have finished.

Have a wonderful Thursday, y'all!

Wallpaper Wednesday {Literary Heroes}

It's been a while since I've done a Wallpaper Wednesday post, hasn't it?
I don't believe I've done one since I moved my blog here, to blogger.

Everyone seemed to enjoy them, so I'm going to begin bringing them back.

To start things off...

When I shared my literary heroine wallpapers during Kellie's blog party, someone requested I create wallpapers for the heroines' hero counterparts.

 I liked that idea.

So I did.

I present for your consideration and pleasure...

Mr. Arthur Clennam 

from Charles Dicken's Little Dorrit 

excellently portrayed here by Matthew Macfadyen

Arthur rated two wallpapers, because he's wonderful.

John "Jack" Worthing & Algernon "Algy" Moncrieff

from Oscar Wilde's excellent play The Importance of Being Earnest

portrayed here by Colin Firth and Rupert Everett

Mr. John Thornton

from Elizabeth Gaskell's North & South

portrayed here by the one and only Richard Armitage

Mr. Thornton also rated two wallpapers, because he's wonderful and Richard Armitage has an amazing voice/accent.  Just sayin'...;)
