Not much to report from Brontëland thus far today. Tonight, however, at 10:30 BBC Four is broadcasting the latest screen version of
Wide Sargasso Sea 2006 again.
The Times TV guide wholeheartedly recommends it:
Jean Rhys's reworking of Jane Eyre - in which Rochester's mad wife is reimagined as a Creole heiress - is drenched from beginning to end in hothouse sensuality in Brendan Maher's 2006 adaptation. Fans of the book may have their quibbles, but the film is sodden with sweat and bewitched by voodoo, and passionately performed by Rafe Spall and Rebecca Hall as Rochester and his adoring young wife. (Gabrielle Starkey)
The Herald describes it like this
Auntie Beeb brings to bear her posh frocks approach to classic novels on Jean Rhys's prequel to Jane Eyre. It works really rather well. Rafe Spall, Rebecca Hall and Nina Sosanya head the cast.
Wide Sargasso Sea 2006 was
recently released on DVD as well.
And the
Lancashire Telegraph has an article on Mark Ward and defines him as
a world expert in the Bronte sisters and has published six collections of poetry. (Caroline Dutton)
He has certainly signed a few books/texts on the Brontës. For instance, this one:
A Guide to Historic Haworth and the Brontës by Mark Ward, Ann Dinsdale & Robert Swindells.
