And the Weary Want Revenge!

This columnist in The Plymouth Herald is not very happy with costume dramas on TV in general and BBC's Little Dorritt dramatization in particular. He reaches this (delirious) conclusion:

Costume drama is everywhere at the moment. Austin (sic), Bronte, Trollope… it's all the same and dead easy to write. I might give it a go myself.

Nevertheless, the best part comes in the post-script:

PS. True story, I once convinced an American journalist that Charlotte and Emily Bronte had a brother called Charles who wrote Death Wish! (Fitz)

Come on Fitz, that's your chance for glory: rewrite And the Weary Are at Rest as a Charles Bronson's flick. That could be something.

The Vindicator celebrates the acceptance into Mensa of a local Youngstown man who happens to be also a Brontëite:

Reading materials in Lyle’s living room include an atlas, Smithsonian Magazine, copies of The Vindicator and “Jane Eyre,” which he calls “the best book I’ve ever read.” (...)
His role models are author Charlotte Brontë and singer Karen Carpenter, whose music he calls “part of the mosaic of our lives.” (Amanda C. Davis)
