In 200 years...

The Telegraph & Argus publishes a list of upcoming 2010 events at the Parsonage (for more information you can check this old post of ours)

Pictures inspired by Emily Bronte’s descriptions of weather are to go on show in Haworth.
Jo Brown will display abstract paintings inspired by the Wuthering Heights author’s poems.
The exhibition, The Sunbeam and the Storm, will be at the Bronte Parsonage Museum from March 5 to May 3.
The parsonage will also host an appearance by writer Lisa Appignanesi on March 10. She will talk about her latest book, The Mad, Bad and Sad: a History of Women and the Mind Doctors from 1800.
The book, shortlisted for several awards, includes the cases of writers such as Charlotte Bronte and Virginia Woolf.
An Afternoon with Persephone Books will feature a talk by the firm’s founder Nicola Beauman on March 24. It publishes novels, dairies, short stories and cookery books by women writers.

Cape Argus (South Africa) mentions the dangers of playing family games at Christmas:

Every Christmas we play a board game. (...) This year we opted for 30 Seconds, a general knowledge game. (...) According to R, (...) one of the Brontë Sisters penned Little House on the Prairie[.]

The Wall Street Journal mentions the Harper Teen covers of Wuthering Heights (and other novels) marketed à la Twilight. Curiously, The Celebrity Café poses the following question:

The massive numbers of “units” shifted by Meyer, Rowling et al show that in their creation they must be doing something right, but the same cultural theorists warned of a “dumbing down” in culture, and can anyone honestly say that 200 years from now “New Moon” or “Eclipse” will be looked upon as Meyer herself seemingly looks upon “Wuthering Heights”? (Andrew MacLaughlin)

We don't want to sound highbrow, but we think we know the answer to the question.

A local Brontëite in the Palm Beach Post, cleverviolet uploads to flickr an original illustration for Jane Eyre and david.mc.. a couple of stunning pictures of Haworth moors, I used to have a life, then the books took over has read Wuthering Heights. Finally Nadia-Fiennes from The Inn at Lambton reviews Edward F. Rochester by Christine Paris Bruyère:

J'ai beaucoup aimé me replonger dans cette oeuvre, et le fait de voir les choses du point de vue de Rochester est assez plaisant.
On dirait un peu un journal intime, où Rochester écrirait ses pensées, raconterait sa journée à un lecteur, qui au fur et à mesure de la lecture, devient un peu son confident. Il prend beaucoup les lecteurs comme témoin ou lui posent des questions.. Cela peut être assez déroutant durant les premieres pages.. (Google translation)
