The Times comments on British films and Sundance Film Festival:
Many British films have opened there, from Four Weddings and a Funeral long ago to the more recent An Education and Wuthering Heights. (Kate Muir)
And The Seattle Times mentions that Wuthering Heights 2011 will be screened at the 38th Seattle International Film Festival (May 17 - June 10).

The Times also asks whether you 'know your novels'. Here are a couple of Brontës to 'test' our readers:
2. In which novel does the heroine’s love rival fall and concuss herself at the seaside, which is great from the heroine’s point of view? a) Wuthering Heights b) Lady Audley’s Secret c) Persuasion [...]
18. One female protagonist’s problems are thus explained by another character: "at heart, she despises the thing she’s trying for”. Which one? a) Lily Bart in The House of Mirth b) Anne Elliot in Persuasion c) Jane Eyre in Jane Eyre.
And more from The Times, as columnist Kevin Maher says about his years completing a BA and an MA,
And I look back now on every single word that I wrote during those years and I think, “What?!” Beyond Good and Evil: A Post-Feminist Analysis of Charlotte Brontë’s Villette With Respect to Nietzsche? That was useful!
Golfänkans bokblogg writes in Swedish about Wuthering Heights 2011 and The Empty Pen posts about Anne Brontë, describing her as the 'black sheep of the hero-writing sisters' (?).
