Abstract
John Bennion believes ℌyoung people need contemporary authors who maintain the tradition of the classics and who are bridges of understanding to the stories, values, and culture of the greatest writers in the western tradition.ℍ He suggests pairings of contemporary novels with British novels such as David Copperfield, Wuthering Heights, Northanger Abbey, and Emma.
