Then again, no TV exec ever paid any heed to literary purists, as the latter are mostly blinkered, vinegar-faced, nit-picking plonkers who do nothing but complain - as I know from having incurred such folks' wrath in reviewing Jane Eyre (at this point, allow me to wave two fingers at all the blinkered, vinegar-faced, nit-picking plonkers who run the website bronteblog).We are deeply concerned about David Belcher's psychological condition. Because we feel responsible. Now, the poor man sees Brontë integrists everywhere, even reviewing an adaptation of H.G. Wells. We imagine him having nightmares with BrontëBlog's editors calling him nasty things... poor fellow, one step from (Brontë) madness. So sad.
How are they learning to behave decently downtown, or on holiday? Too much supervision has pitfalls: having been in a French school for a while I was fascinated to read in Charlotte Brontë’s Villette how much of a contrast there was, even then, between the English ideal of fostering self-control and the French obsession with la surveillance. This difference is perhaps why to this day any museum curator dreads, above all things, the French school party. When the control slips, they go feral.Categories: In the News
