The Hillsboro Argus talks with Pauline Beard, Pacific University professor and member of the
Jane Austen Society of North America who has a Brontëan past :P
Beard admits she was more of a Bronte fan when she was growing up in England's Yorkshire region. But somewhere along the line - perhaps at university in London or graduate school in Connecticut - connected with the words written by Austen, who has long been considered one of England's finest writers. (JoAnn Boatwright)
Proof that Janeites and Brontëites can coexist without problems :). Incidentally,
City Nature Blog posts about things they have in common.
The Far Eastern Economic Review finds (or not) some echoes of Jean Rhy's Wide Sargasso Sea in
The Girl by Sonia Falero:
Sonia Faleiro's novella may or may not put one in mind of another, The Wide Sargasso Sea. Either way, hers is an exquisite exploration of suicide, a haunting rendering of pain so acute that it sets your teeth on edge. (Mitali Saran)
Saját Blogom posts in Hungarian about
Jane Eyre and

Desire Paths discusses Lucia Logan's
controversial (and not for its gay content) retelling of Jane Eyre: Hidden Passion.
