Alice Hoffman - a Brontëite

Thanks to an article preview on the online version of the Wall Street Journal (not available even when using bugmenot.com) about Alice Hoffman's new book, Skylight Confessions (excerpt here), we discover the Brontëite in her.

As you can see at the bottom of her homepage, she has introduced a couple of editions of Wuthering Heights. And in this old post of ours on the book Approaches to Teaching Wuthering Heights you can see that one of the chapters is called Teaching Wuthering Heights Intertextually: The Example of Alice Hoffman's Here on Earth by Maureen T. Reddy. And, as can be read in her biography,

Her novel, HERE ON EARTH, an Oprah Book Club choice, was a modern reworking of some of the themes of Emily Bronte’s masterpiece Wuthering Heights. (Read an excerpt of Here on Earth.)
