Dear Reader, we had a band

KGET has a reminder of Emily Brontë's death anniverssary today. The Brontë Sisters, The Modern Historian and The Daily Sir Walter mourn her death as well.

Funnily enough though, it's an adaptation of her sister Charlotte's output that is going to be broadcast next December 28 at 11pm on ITV3 (UK), as reported by the Guardian:

This 1997 version of Charlotte Brontë's oft-adapted novel, starring Samantha Morton as Jane and Ciaran Hinds as the mysterious Mr Rochester, isn't regarded as a classic but, come on, it's Christmas (just about), and bonnets are a must. After surviving a brutal education at Lowood School For Girls, Jane takes up residence at Thornfield Hall, and falls for the mysterious Rochester. Marriage awaits, but what are those strange noises emanating from the attic? (Gwilym Mumford)

So So Gay brings yet another band influenced by the Brontës: Cheri MacNeil from the band Dear Reader confesses (more information on this previous post of ours),

What inspired the name Dear Reader?I stumbled on the idea while reading Charlotte Brontë’s, Jane Eyre. The book is written in the first person, so the reader is stuck inside Jane’s head. But then all of a sudden, she addresses you with a ‘Dear Reader’. This moment was startling for me. Suddenly Brontë pulled me out of the fantasy she was weaving and reminded me about the process that was happening in reality. I liked this because it is similar to the way I approach making music. I like to be very transparent about myself and also the whole business of being a musician/putting on a show etc. I like to include the audience in the reality as well as the fantasy. (Matt Horwood)

And The Telegraph and Argus has an article where Thornton - birthplace of the Brontës - boasts about its claim to fame:

In a sense, Thornton has always been a global village, due to the extraordinary worldwide interest in the three writing Brontë sisters, who lived in the village until their father Patrick became Curate in Haworth. (Jim Greenhalf)

Interestingly, the article also mentions a Branwell Film Group.
