Today, the
Liverpool Echo has a quiz which includes the following (not very hard for our usual readers) question:
9. In which Charlotte Bronte story did Mrs. Abbot think of the main character as an “infantile Guy Fawkes” always watching everyone and scheming? (Jade Wright)
The
Daily Mail publishes an article covering all
the quirky claims to fame of each and every one of the English counties. Including West Yorkshire:
The first Marks & Spencer was a stall at Kirkgate Market, Leeds, in the 1880s. Authors Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë, from Haworth, would have been called Prunty, had not their father changed the family name, inspired by the Sicilian dukedom of Bronte awarded to Admiral Nelson. The first moving film was shot in a Leeds back garden in 1880 by Louis Le Prince. (Clive Aslet & David Thomas)
The Scotsman presents the upcoming performances of
April de Angelis's Wuthering Heights in Edinburgh:
WUTHERING HEIGHTS
Set in the wilds of Yorkshire, this fierce vision of an extraordinary passion in which heaven and hell, nature and society, dynamic and passive forces clash, has a unique and timeless appeal. King's Theatre, Leven Street, 7.30pm (Wednesday and Saturday matinees, 2.30pm).
On the blogosphere: Jane Eyre is discussed in Máster en Nubes (in Spanish) and Partage (in French) and Wuthering Heights in I read. I watch. I blog.
