No news as such today, but the blogosphere is bursting at the seams with Brontë stuff.
Here's a game of Chinese whispers. Via

Daily Yomiuri Online we have seen the picture on the left which purports to be
the manga version of Wuthering Heights 1939 that we posted about last month. This is the news at the core of it all:
Aiming to create freshly copyrighted works based on popular classic movies in the public domain, a new comic book series featuring the movies' stories has been launched, with each volume sold as a set with a DVD of the corresponding film.
Supervised by Kenshi Hirokane, renowned for his successful Kacho Shima Kosaku (Division Chief Shima Kosaku) series, the new comic book series, titled Manga: Sekai Meisaku Movie, was launched Nov. 17 with its first four titles: Kasaburanka (Casablanca), Sharedo (Charade), Ekibasha (Stagecoach) and Arashigaoka (Wuthering Heights).
Based on the translations of the movie scripts and created by Manga Bank, the comic books (Gentosha Inc., 160 pp, 1,380 yen each) were drawn by separate mangaka, including Tatsuya Ihara, who has worked as an assistant to Motoka Murakami, known for his Musashi no Ken series.
The accompanying DVDs contain the original full-length theatrical release versions of the films, with Japanese subtitles. (Saori Kan)
Another small discovery comes from
Phoenix Cinema, which has a post on the film
I am Dina (2002).
I Am Dina from Norwegian director Ole Bornedal is a difficult film to categorize. Set in 1860s Norway, it’s a romantic period drama–but with strong overtones of the supernatural. In this tale, soap opera blends with mini-epic, and combines with elements of Wide Sargasso Sea and Wuthering Heights. Ultimately it’s 125 minutes of solid–rather odd–entertainment that delivers some mixed feelings about the protagonist–Dina.
We also have a couple of scholar-like posts today.
Down the Bay writes about 'the overindulgent mother' in Jane Eyre.
Bitee_mee writes about Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea.
Pollyanna's Advent calendar window for today is a poem: The Visionary by Emily Brontë.
And finally
Emozioni talks to writer
Elisabetta Modena, who mentions the Brontë sisters as authors she adores.
Il libro più bello che hai letto?
Mah, forse Guerra e Pace, adoro gli scrittori russi; poi quelli delle scrittrici inglesi (Austen, le sorelle Bronte…), I miserabili di V. Hugo, I Promessi Sposi… ce ne sono così tanti!
