Cathy's bodice

The Telegraph and Argus turns its attention to the (hopefully) forthcoming Wuthering Heights. The article doesn't say anything particularly new, but the cartoon is quite funny, although closer to reality than they might have expected as Emily Brontë could actually shoot a pistol and was taught to by her own father.

Bond Girl and St Trinian’s actress Gemma Arterton is to star in yet another adaptation of Emily Bronte’s iconic novel Wuthering Heights.
The 24-year-old is to take on the tragic role of Cathy Earnshaw in the latest cinema version of the classic story.
Oscar-winning British film-maker Andrea Arnold is to direct this fifth film adaptation of the novel – the first version was shot in Haworth in 1920. Lawrence Olivier and Merle Oberon starred in the 1939 Hollywood version.
The announcement has been welcomed at the Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth, where Emily penned her tale of heartbreak, set on the bleak moorland.
Museum director Andrew McCarthy said: “Film versions of the novels are always good news for us because it encourages visitors to the museum.”
The film’s producer Robert Bernstein said: “Andrea has previously said that the only book she would ever direct would be Wuthering Heights, because of the passionate, impossible love story at its centre and its elements of class divide.”

The Guardian also talks about this project:

Arnold will direct from Olivia Hetreed's adaptation of the novel – a first for the director, who wrote the hard-hitting scripts for both her acclaimed feature films.
Explaining the hiring yesterday, producer Robert Bernstein said: "Andrea has previously said that the only book she would ever direct would be Wuthering Heights, because of the passionate, impossible love story at its centre and its elements of class divide," he said. "It's a very lucky coincidence for us that we've found each other."
Arnold, who won an Academy Award for best live-action short for her film Wasp in 2005, takes over from Peter Webber, director of Girl With a Pearl Earring. He left the project in December, having stepped in to replace The Edge of Love's John Maybury, who dropped out of the project last summer. Natalie Portman, Abbie Cornish and Gemma Arterton have all been linked to the part of Brontë's heroine, Cathy Earnshaw.
Speaking to the Guardian last year, Bernstein acknowledged that the film success of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga – itself heavily indebted to Brontë's enduring story – had played a part in the project getting off the ground. "The Twilight factor is extremely helpful to Wuthering Heights," he said. "It's clearly in the zeitgeist. Why is anybody's guess, but people are absolutely obsessed with this doomed, romantic love that can only be achieved beyond death, or in the case of Twilight, by becoming a vampire." (Ben Child)

Keighley lies in Brontë country, where the moorland landscape inspired Wuthering Heights. . . (Andrew Bounds)

The Daily Cardinal has an article on the band Los Campesinos!

While their peers barked about the best party ever or meetings in treehouses, LC! warned us not to read Jane Eyre and whether or not a band’s synthesizer was anything more than a crutch. (Kyle Sparks)
