Who's Who and more

Some things that can be found today on the net, with a Brontë twist:

Several newspapers announce the inclusion of Toby Stephens, the last Rochester, in the Who's Who biographical yearbook:

Toby Stephens, recently seen as Mr Rochester in the latest televised series of Jane Eyre and as the villain in the Bond film Die Another Day, also appears. He is the son of Dame Maggie Smith, already in the volume, and of the Shakespearean actor Sir Robert Stephens, who was in until his death and will now appear in Who Was Who. (John Ezard)

PennyforyourDreams reviews Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale and its Brontë connections:

The tone of the novel was strained to be gothic and suspenseful, some passages did have a real ring of muffled menace, but in my opinion, the book wasn't a patch on any Bronte novel and despite the author's undoubted love for Bronte, she has tried to write an homage and not entirely succeeded.

And finally a new writer and Brontëite is revealed in this interview to Emily Ryan-Davis, author of Mating Call.
