Jane Eyre's spork

Another Brontëite. From the Tampa Tribune, writer Linda White-Francis:

"They still talk about those stories," she said, adding, "When I decided to become a serious writer, I went to the library and studied the work of authors like J.D. Salinger, the Bronte sisters, Jane Austen and Daphne Du Maurier." (Megan Hussey)

The Brontë Parsonage Blog posts about yesterday's Beryl Bainbridge appearance at the Brontë Society June Weekend:

After talking about events in her childhood and the ways they have entered her fiction, she spoke about her admiration for the Brontës ("they wrote such jolly good stories") and explained why she was writing mainly historical novels at the moment ("because I've now written everything I can about my childhood.......but I still get into my novels....I still put in things from my past..") and revealed that four months is her normal gestation period.

Să crezi în orice, căci însăşi viaţa este o speranţă! talks about the Brontë sisters in Romanian, semirea (in Catalan) and toomanykids both discuss Wuthering Heights. 5-Squared has read Anne Brontë's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (by the way, Richard and Gill have uploaded some pictures of Scarborough to their flickr account, including this one of Anne's grave) and concludes:

So, beyond the occasional heavy-handedness, a constant overuse (and misuse) of commas, and an overly melodramatic end (whether the ending is bad or good, please don't drag it out needlessly for twenty pages!), the narrative is captivating and well-written. I've decided I like Anne, not as much as Charlotte, but a whole heck of a lot more than Emily. (Amanda)

Carrots Of The Pirabbean- The Journal Of Lycaenion posts a slightly changed ending for Jane Eyre including murder, confused sex orientations and sporks.

Il était une fois le cinema analyzes the filmography of Kijû Yoshida, including his 1988 version of Wuthering Heights, Onimaru.
