Two new recent Brontë-related publications:
The Gothic Byron
Peter Cochran
ISBN: 9781443802444
Format: Hardback
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
"Byron and Gothic" examines in detail the Gothic element in Byron's work, arguing that it has traditionally been undervalued. It looks closely at his reading in the novels of Ann Radcliffe, Monk Lewis, and Charlotte Dacre, and then discusses the Gothic elements in his Turkish Tales, plays, and satirical poetry, ending with two essays on Don Juan. Further essays explore the indebtedness of several European and English writers, including Charlotte and Emily Brontë, to the Gothic element in Byron's poetry.

The scorched desert of Rajasthan is the setting for this musical adaptation of Emily Bronte’s timeless tale of passion, jealousy and revenge.
Shakuntala is the fiery and headstrong daughter of spice merchant Singh. Krishan is the wily
street urchin from Bombay that Singh brings home after a trip to market. Thrown together as unlikely siblings, a tumultuous romance soon develops. But can their love withstand Indian society’s taboos and hierarchies, not to mention Shakuntala's yearning for a life of luxury that only neighbouring landowner Vijay can provide?
Wuthering Heights, one of the world’s great love stories, is given a vibrant new life in this new adaptation produced by Tamasha and inspired by classic Indian cinema.
