We have been looking for some reactions in the Spanish media after the broadcast yesterday of the new 2006 BBC Jane Eyre series. But we have to admit that we haven't found much:
this brief but nice post by Mai. (maybe some Spanish reader out there can provide something). We know that
the ratings were not good, but not bad either
Multicine' "Jane Eyre": 2.056.000 y 17,7%
Changing the topic, but not much. Now that the Christmas season is over maybe it's not the best time for suggesting a present (well, if you
are one of the new Spanish readers that our sitemeter detects maybe you are still on time for next January 6). Szlea recommends this item on
ThisNext:Charlotte Brontë tea cup and saucer
The British Library, in conjunction with William Miller, has created a collection of tableware that draws from its extensive manuscript library. The crockery, called the Great Works collection, features passages of writing from original manuscripts of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Oscar Wilde, Charlotte Bronte, Thomas Hardy, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Thomas Hardy and Mozart. (The Bronte tea cup and saucer, [on the right], was one of my favorites. And the offerings from Elizabeth Barrett Browning might make a great Valentine's gift for the English major on your list!)
On the
British Library website you can see more objects of this collection: Dinner plate, side plate...
And a couple of blog things. It's not very usual to see a review of Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey published on a blog or anywhere. Therefore, it's a very nice surprise to see this one on
An INFP's Inner Life by Diane L. Schirf.
(...)The strength of Agnes Grey lies in its characterizations of Victorian country society and the people who inhabit it. Their materialism, which reaches its apex here in the unhappily married Rosalie Murray; their wanton wastefulness; their view of nature as subservient to the whims of man; and their hypocrisy and recasting of God into man's image are the easily recognized precursors to many 20th-century attitudes. Despite its faults and facile ending, Agnes Grey is a tiny but honest glimpse into the Victorian world that preceded ours. (Read more)
And finally, on
Electragloom blog, the Chapter one of
Branwell Bronte's Barber's Tale': Who Wrote 'Wuthering Heights by Chris Firth (originally published in 2004) is available to read online. We suppose it has been posted by the author himself.
