Nearly everything has to do with Jane Eyre

Thanks to this post by The Bookish Kind we are redirected to a youtube video where we can see the behind the scenes of the Radio Times photoshoot of Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens as Jane and Rochester. Lovely, isn't it?

Like Tears in Rain reviews (in Spanish) the film Firelight, which bears a passing resemblance to Jane Eyre. Andrea Galer was in charge of the costume designs, just like she was in Jane Eyre 2006. And BrontëBlog actually asked her about these two projects when we interviewed her last August.

Talking about passing resemblances to Jane Eyre, Trashionista talks about Emily Maguire's debut novel, Taming the Beast, and has this to say about it:

There were parallels drawn with Jane Eyre which, though slightly hard to get a grip on initially, gave the book an interesting focus on unconventional heroines, and a feminist slant. (Luisa Plaja)

And now for the nearly daily dose of Jane Eyre icons. Courtesy this time of waiting4morning.

On another note, the Buffalo News, includes Wuthering Heights in an article entitled The Beauty in the Beast:

One of the greatest love stories ever written is Emily Bronte's gothic romance, "Wuthering Heights." Bronte's immortal Heathcliff, the man who loved his wild Cathy in life and death, has been canonized by hopeless romantics (including myself) as a handsome, brooding hero who was sorely mistreated in his life.
If we look honestly at Heathcliff, he's actually a nasty guy. His vile actions, albeit in the name of love, are beastly. The fact that he could only find peace and love in the afterlife speaks to the ugliness in his soul. Bronte clearly saw the demon in him, describing his eyes as "the clouded windows of hell."
This story was also filmed many times. Heathcliff as beast, however, was best personified with a wild and feral quality by Timothy Dalton in a 1970 film (30 years before he played 007) and with a malicious streak by Ralph Fiennes in 1992. Both men were able to portray the dual nature of Heathcliff - the romantic icon and wicked, scorned lover. (Toni Ruberto)
