Not bad for three sisters

We know Charlotte Gainsbourg's Jane Eyre is not everybody's cup of tea (Brontëblog is quite divided about her). Andrew Pulver in The Guardian interviews her and seems to like her performance in Jane Eyre 1996:

In past years she's played Jane Eyre - a perfectly appropriate use of her spectrally weird voice and otherworldly screen presence - and the incestuous sister Julie in an adaptation of Ian McEwan's The Cement Garden. In Nuovomondo (aka The Golden Door), she's back doing the Jane Eyre thing, playing a turn-of-the-century Englishwoman with a secret sorrow, taking passage on a ship filled with Italian peasants.

The Brontë Parsonage Blog posts about Angela Crow's visit to Milan presenting her book Miss Branwell's Companion:

It was a great honour to have Angela with us and to be introduced to her work, which was presented for the first time to an audience. Her talk was very interesting and let us know more about Maria Branwell, the Brontes’ mother, a clever and sensitive woman. (Franca Gollini)

A reporter from the Carroll County Times has visited the North of England and talks about her experiences. The Brontë Country and Haworth are briefly mentioned:

We followed the narrow path through moors. The heather wasn't in bloom, but it lent texture to the scene. We didn't see Cathy or Heathcliff from "Wuthering Heights," but we did sit on rocks overlooking a pool of water they might have visited on their fictional rambles. (...) We also visited Haworth, home of the Brontes, and Lancaster. (Diane Reynolds)

More briefly: The Kaplan SAT Score-Raising Classics edition of Wuthering Heights is mentioned in this article. Shanene Romero devotes a poem to Charlotte Brontë. Brontëana posts this illustration by F. Townsend of a 1896 edition of Jane Eyre (you can see the rest of the illustrations on the Project Gutenberg's website). And finally, Noise from the Attic continues posting her experiences in Haworth:

My time in Haworth was quiet. I think, more than anything, it really helped me understand the Brontes--how they lived, how close-knit their family was, how hard it was for them to travel, etc. They, like me, had to go into Keighley if they wanted anything beyond what's available on a farm. They, like me, read a lot and went to bed early. What they never expected, though, was that their secluded little town would become dedicated to their family, attracting millions of hikers, researchers and fans. Even the Indian take-out place is called Bronte Curry Take-Away! Not bad for three sisters--three women--from the sticks. (Liz)
