What better time of year to visit the Brontë Parsonage?

The Yorkshire Post has a most superb suggestion for these holidays. A visit to the Brontë Parsonage Museum:

Brontë Parsonage Museum: The moors. The snow. The Brontës. What better time of year than right now to visit the literary museum, former home of the Brontës? Over the past few years the museum has been building a contemporary art strand and, under the guidance of Jenna Holmes, has brought some interesting exhibitions to the museum. The current exhibition at the museum is the provocatively titled Sex, Drugs and Literature – The Infernal World of Branwell Brontë, a new special exhibition focusing on the troubled brother of the family, Branwell. The museum is closed this weekend, but open all next week until Thursday, Dec 31.

The same destination recommended by Canada.com:

Haworth (West Yorkshire): Second only to Stratford-upon-Avon as a major literary pilgrimage site is the home of the Bronte Parsonage Museum. Here the famous Bronte sisters lived and spun their web of romance. Emily wrote Wuthering Heights, Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre and Villette, and even Anne wrote two novels, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey, though neither measures up to her sisters' works.

The Guardian reviewed the audiobook compilation Classic Romance:

They're all here: Shakespeare's Henry V wooing Princess Katharine in pigeon franglais; Jane Eyre still managing to sound straitlaced sitting on Mr Rochester's lap[,] Heathcliff and Cathy[.] (Sue Arnold)

The Times Literary Supplement reviews Kitchens, Smokehouses, and Privies: Outbuildings and the Architecture of Daily Life in the Eighteenth-century Mid-Atlantic by Michael Olmert

Olmert breezes relentlessly through superficial and sometimes inexplicable comparisons: now a laundry basket from The Merry Wives of Windsor, now a pillow stuffed with pigeon feathers from Wuthering Heights. (Dan Hicks)

The Times Education Supplement has uploaded a useful plot summary of the novel (KS4) of Wuthering Heights. Theater Notes (Australia) talks about a recent forum on women in theatre at Belvoir St:

More, as the Brontes well knew, the same writing will generate different responses if it is perceived to be by a man than if it is thought to be by a woman. And I'm afraid that, however we like to congratulate ourselves on being more advanced than the 19th century, that is still the case. (Alison Croggon)

Finally, Micah Leigh's has uploaded to flickr a picture named "Cathy come back to me, oh do once more".
