"It was always me getting wet and cold"

The School Library Journal has some recommendations for Brontë fans:

By the time she was 14, Charlotte Brontë claimed to have written 20 complete works. Gothic romance became a Brontë family niche, and many believe Jane Eyre to be a perfect example of the genre. More mature readers will appreciate a trip on Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea (Norton, 1967), a prequel to Brontë's book, which tells the story of the first Mrs. Rochester.

BRONTË, Charlotte. Jane Eyre. illus. by John Burns. Classical Comics. 2008. pap. $16.99. ISBN 978-1-906332-47-1.
Gr 7 Up—The graphic novel format is perfect for this adaptation of Brontë's story of an orphaned young English woman employed by the aloof and mysterious Mr. Rochester as the governess at his country estate. The original text from the novel is used here. There is also a Quick Text version that uses modern English, which may make this story more accessible to reluctant readers or those reading below grade level. Back matter includes a biography of Charlotte Brontë, the Brontë family tree, a chronology of Charlotte's life, and artist's notes.

DUNKLE, Clare. The House of Dead Maids. illus. by Patrick Arrasmith. Holt. 2010. Tr $15.99. ISBN 978-0-8050-9116-8. pap. $9.99. ISBN 978-0-312-55155-1.
Gr 6 Up—Readers will encounter ghosts, satanic rituals and a few somewhat familiar characters in this creepy prequel to Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. The narrator, eleven year old Tabby, is formed after the Brontë sisters' actual maid, Tabitha Aykroyd, and has been charged with taking care of the young master of the house, disparagingly referred to as a "heathen git" (guess who he grows up to become?). But her task is hindered by a group of wandering ghost maids, and one, Izzy, seems to be trying to warn Tabby about something. Though the ending may not be a surprise, this is a well-spun tale that will stimulate interest in the classic title.

LINDNER, April. Jane. Little, Brown. 2010. Tr $17.99. ISBN 978-0-316-08420-8. pap. $8.95. ISBN 978-0-316-08419-2.
Gr 10 Up—Readers of Jane Eyre will immediately see the parallels between modern day Jane, nanny in the employ of a rock star on the downside of fame, and Jane of Mr. Rochester fascination. Fresh and fun, with lots of twists on details in the original, this is a fun read for those entranced by Brontë or just trying to warm up for their required high school reading.

RENNISON, Louise. Withering Tights. HarperTeen. 2011. Tr $16.99. ISBN 978-0-06-179931-0.
Gr 7 Up—Fans of Rennison's "Confessions of Georgia Nicolson" series will be delighted to meet Georgia's cousin, Tallulah Casey, who is attending a performing-arts school on the Yorkshire Moors. There are echoes of the Brontë classic here and there—a despicable cad named Cain, who may actually be Tallulah's great love, and dodgy friends with bad intentions—but readers won't care much about that as they are carried away by Rennison's trademark British humor and slang.

While The York News-Times suggests Wuthering Heights as one of the 'October Crispies' reads.

Time Out features Shannon Beer and Solomon Glave, who play the young Cathy an Heathcliff in Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights.

‘There were 3,000 at the audition,’ recalls Glave, now 14, and a quiet, handsome boy wearing a chunky cardigan. ‘No, there weren’t,’ butts in a quick-witted but reticent Beer, now 13 and wearing an off-the-shoulder jumper and floppy boots. ‘I thought there were 1,200.’ ‘I dunno,’ says Glave. ‘Somebody said it were 3,000.’
Did they audition together? ‘Never together,’ Beer says. ‘I think we did, you know,’ offers Glave. Beer: ‘You sure?’ This was back in the summer of 2010: a year is a long time for a 13 year old. ‘I didn’t even know what we were auditioning for,’ says Glave. ‘I didn’t think I was going to get it. Then, every morning when I woke up, I was like: am I having a dream?’
How was the first day of shooting last September? Beer jumps in. ‘Well! Someone stayed in bed,’ she says, nodding at Glave. We had to wake him!’ Glave leaps to defend himself. ‘That was only the first day, innit?’
They stayed in a hotel in Darlington and filmed on moorland surrounding a cottage which Arnold adopted as the home of Cathy and the Earnshaw family. ‘I wouldn’t like to live like that,’ says Glave of their lives. ‘I’d probably end up killing myself.’ The film’s brutal outdoor scenes suggest they had to contend with harsh elements – rain, snow, mud and wind. ‘We were snowed in one day,’ says Beer. ‘It was horrible,’ says Glave. ‘And it was always me getting wet and cold.’
They laugh about how they had to climb a hill each morning to reach the set. ‘How many times did we walk up that?’ Glave asks Beer. ‘It must have been 20 times a day for nine weeks.’ ‘I lost weight and my skirt wouldn’t fit by the end,’ adds Beer. How did she like her nineteenth-century outfits? She just screws up her nose.
Did the pair get on? Beer looks a bit embarrassed, the way 13 year olds do when asked about boys. ‘We didn’t hardly talk,’ says Glave. ‘I just poked him a lot,’ says Beer. Arnold clearly struck a chord with them. ‘She’s great, Andrea, she’s very good,’ Beer says. Glave explains he’s a little dyslexic and had trouble reading the script – but Arnold had a solution: she gave him a tape player with his lines on it and he would listen to it each night. ‘The next morning I’d wake up and know my lines.’
Which scene was the toughest to film? Beer says it was a fight, when the two roll in mud. Glave disagrees: ‘The fight was easy.’ ‘Yeah, but you were sat on top of me,’ Beer points out. (Dave Calhoun and David Jenkins)

Mary Beard discusses Stella Gibbons's Cold Comfort Farm in The Times Literary Supplement:

The story is a simple one. Flora Poste, left orphaned, goes to lodge with her relatives at a Sussex farm (Cold Comfort) -- who appear to live in a wild version of the British Rural Novel, a mixture of Thomas Hardy, Emily Brontë and Mary Webb. . .

Highly recommended if you ask us.

And The Chicago Sun-Times reviews Jeffrey Eugenides's The Marriage Plot:

What would George Eliot do with a society leveled by equal rights and the Talking Heads playing in the background? How would the Brontës fare with casual sex and psychotropic drugs? And how would Dickens deal with the Me Generation?
Those musings inevitably come to mind reading The Marriage Plot, the dazzling new novel by Jeffrey Eugenides. Loaded with ideas and humor, it is the long-awaited follow-up to his Pulitzer Prize-winning Middlesex (2002). As modern as next month, it also is colored by the long shadow of the 18th [sic] century masters. (John Barron)

Laura Marling with all her open Brontëiteness would love this review of her album A Creature I Don’t Know from Under the Radar:

“The Beast”, one of the standout tracks on this album, is a growling epic track; think Led Zeppelin meets Emily Brontë with Laura repeating over and over “Tonight he lies with me”. (Janine Harrison)

The Reading Eagle has an article on Kira Apple, owner of The Wise Owl Bookstore where she

leads the Read the Classics book club, said she has a keen interest in classics such as "Moby Dick" and "Wuthering Heights." She said the club encourages people to read.
"It gives people the time to read those books you would normally only read in school," Apple said. (Courtney H. Diener-Stokes)

Guitar World posts a 1991 interview to AC/DC Angus Wilson:

Have you actually tried any of the new gear that's out there?
I've seen a lot of it over the years. I might pick up a drum machine or something. In general, though, I've always found equipment -- especially technical gear that comes from America -- to be better-sounding. Put it this way: I think that a lot of stuff that comes from your side of the world is always in plain English. [laughs] A lot of Japanese stuff, they have to sell you the manual. It's like reading Wuthering Heights! (Jeff Gilbert)
