Jane Brontë and a pop-up Heathcliff

New Heathcliff mentions in the press.

The Independent uses Heathcliff as a stereotype in this review of the new film Red Road:

When Arnold finally brings them together, the encounter is intense and graphic, the realest sex you'll see in a British film - even though Arnold slightly dissipates the effect by over-stressing Clyde's Heathcliff aspect, making him a soulful hard man with a penchant for wood-carving and an ear for a fox's bark in the city night. (Jonathan Ramney)

The Guardian seems to answer a question from some days ago, is there a pop-up version of Jane Eyre? It seems that we have a pop-up Heathcliff :P

Sam appears, a pop-up Heathcliff: 'What's all this about, this cosy family outing?' he spits at Ruth, before recovering.

We have so few references to The Professor that we always post whatever we found. This time it's a list of audiobooks that deal with college life:

The Professor By Charlotte Bronte, read by Frederick Davidson (Blackstone Audiobooks)

Campus life was always tricky, even in the Victorian era. In her first work of fiction, Charlotte Bronte chronicles the messy love life of an English professor. This is a must-listen-to for any Bronte fan, as it is loosely based on her own unrequited love for a married teacher in Brussels.

But the best Brontë mention today is this one from the ContraCostaTimes:
