Emily Jane

It looks as if Brontëland is awaiting with bated breath the outcome of tomorrow's auction in New York as there's not much to report today.

Singer Emily Jane White's Brontëiteness is mentioned again today by Paste Magazine:

And her literary influences—Cormac McCarthy, Emily Brontë, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Edgar Allan Poe—are clearly present throughout; [...]
“I read stuff by people who grew up in different time periods than I,” White says. “And it’s obviously sort of very Gothic, dark fiction and poetry. It’s stuff I’ve been attracted to exploring and to reading for many years. It’s all made an impression.” (Cam Archer)

On his Headingley LitFest blog, Richard Wilcocks (of Brontë Parsonage Blog fame around these parts) encourages aspiring writers to submit their work to the Brontë Society Literary Competition.

Les Brontë à Paris wrote a post in French to commemorate Elizabeth Brontë's death on a day like yesterday in 1825. The Anne Brontë Blog discusses 'realism in the work of Anne Brontë'.

And it's the final installment of Wuthering Heights Wednesday at Lakeside Musing, Serendipity, Fizzy Thoughts and Love, Laughter, and a Touch of Insanity. More to come, of course.
