Let's begin with a statement we like. From Nouse:
Take the Brontë family for example. All three sisters were literary geniuses.
Yes! Not just two, but 'all three'.

Augustin Trapenard discusses Emily Brontë's poetry on France 24 International News and BBC Two's programme My Life in Books finds one more Brontëite: sport presenter Clare Balding chooses Wuthering Heights as one of her books.

Nola reports on the Jane Austen Festival at Old Mandeville where
A series of lectures on March 10 at the North Star Theater explored such topics as dating advice during the Regency era, the Brontë sisters, and scandalous affairs during the time of Charles Dickens. (Kenneth Mathews)
The Atlantic looks at several illustrators, one of which is Kate Beaton. And WAtoday discusses 50 Shades of Grey by EL James:
Historian Lynn Hunt even argues that romance was crucial to the development of human rights as it taught middle class readers to empathise with heroines outside of their own class.
This is not to suggest that the tedious prose or conceptual vapidity of E. L. James should be compared with Austen, Brontë, Smith or Rousseau. But romance has the potential to explore the relationship between power and intimacy, which, in relegating romantic fiction to the trivial, we seem to have collectively ignored. (Alecia Simmonds)
Bookhad and Ez melyik történet? (in Hungarian) post about Wuthering Heights. Limacine and Boas Leituras (in Portuguese) write about Villette. Priyanka's Neverland posts about Jane Eyre and Fohnhouse reviews the 2011 adaptation. Writing and Ruminating loves Jennifer Adams and Alison Oliver'd Little Miss Brontë: Jane Eyre.
