The Guardian recommends a visit to Moreton Corbet Castle in Shrewsbury for Easter Monday:
This (free entry)
English Heritage property is the site of a ruined medieval castle and
the shell of an Elizabethan mansion. It's great for hide-and-seek,
Easter egg hunts, makes a perfect Camelot and is an ideal backdrop for
moody teenagers reading Jane Eyre. (Dundubbinin)
Buffalo News finds similarities between
That Woman: The Life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor by Anne Sebba and
Jane Eyre:
Though many aspects of "That Woman" are interesting, it was this dark
subplot, like something out of "Jane Eyre," that stays with you. (Mary Kuntz Goldman)
The Spoof! carries an article about how boring jobs are... with a boring Brontë reference:
Employment has been found to be buttock-clenchingly monotonous, a new study suggests.
Last week many in employment noted that work is as dull as reading a Brontë book; this is in fact one definition of the term. (Will Franklin)
Rebecca Chesney has updated her
Brontë Weather Project blog with the finished colour wheels for
Jane Eyre,
Wuthering Heights and
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall based on the weather mentions in each novel.
Take a look at them.
Vivandlarry gives good reasons why
Wuthering Heights 1939 deserves a special DVD/Blu-ray treatment now that Warner Brothers has acquired the Samuel Goldwyn film library. For instance, we didn't know that colour home video footage taken on the set by Wyler himself is preserved:
This footage, it was explained, is a small part of what is housed in the
Wyler collection at AMPAS. That means there’s probably plenty more
where that came from. AMPAS is one of the best institutions in the world
for cataloguing cinematic artifacts–not just the films themselves, but
the material generated around them–and they know the importance of
preserving Hollywood film history. The amazing thing about LA is that
all of these film institutions are located in the same general vicinity,
so the people of Warner Bros. need not travel very far to find a chest
of treasures to include on a DVD/blu-ray of Wuthering Heights. (Kendra)

Jane Eyre dull) shares her 'I am no bird tattoo' on
Contrarywise.
