"That Brontë woman, whatever happened to her?"

Joan Smith writes in The Independent about the R J Ellory affaire:

Emily Brontë wasn't a brand, at least not in her own time. These days there is a Brontë brand, which decrees that there must be stage and movie versions of Wuthering Heights every few years. If she were alive today, Emily would be expected to turn up at signings and literary festivals where she would face all sorts of questions. Where did Heathcliff come from? Are you writing another novel? Even the most reclusive of authors cannot avoid the realisation that writers have become brands. (...)
There's never been a time so hard as now for writers to make a living, and even best-selling authors worry about lukewarm customer reviews on Amazon. Success feels random, as much to do with good PR as anything else, and could evaporate overnight. That Brontë woman, whatever happened to her? Never wrote a sequel, did she? Pity, I gave her three stars on Amazon.

The Daily Mail talks about The Bookseller's list of the most valuable authors since records began in 1998:

Noticeable by their absence are classic works such as Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen. The Bookseller believes this is partly because they achieved the bulk of their sales before 1998. (Chris Hastings)

The Sydney Morning Herald interviews the author (and commercial airline pilot) Helene Young:

Books that changed me:
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë
Stubborn or not, at my heart I'm a romantic and Jane Eyre remains the ultimate love story. The wildness of the moors, the threads of mystery, the sense of impending doom, coupled with compelling internal and external conflicts - the heart of any good story - kept me riveted. Jane Eyre's fortitude and Mr Rochester's redemption on the road to finding love are examples of beautiful characterisation.

Denver Post interviews Margaret Atwood:

Q:Who did you read growing up? A:Gee, who didn't I read? In my teens I was heavily into sci-fi and detective fiction of all kinds, plus classic English novels by Jane Austen and the Brontës. And the Bible in school. But I also read "Peyton Place," which I wasn't supposed to read so I read it atop the garage roof so no one could see me. Later it was Hemingway and Faulkner. And I loved Ray Bradbury and everything by H.G. Wells.

The Huffington Post lists several of authors' homes to visit:

Brontë Parsonage Museum
West Yorkshire, England
If you've ever felt a kinship with Jane Eyre, you'll feel right at home at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, the home that protected—and inspired—sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne to write some of the world's most famous novels, Wuthering Heights among them. (Jennifer M. Wood)

We find this fragment of Vagina: A New Biography by Naomi Wolf quoted in the New York Review of Books particularly hilarious (not to say a little on the male chauvinistic side of things if quoted properly):

It would be interesting to know how Wolf explains the creativity of virgin artists like Jane Austen and Emily Brontë and Emily Dickinson, or the rapturous experiences of history’s actual women mystics (whose lives tended to be short on liberating sexual relationships). Whatever moral Wolf draws from the fact that Edith Wharton wrote The Age of Innocence after experiencing orgasms for the first time is surely rather undermined by the fact that Emily Brontë wrote Wuthering Heights after having no sexual intercourse at all. (She might have masturbated, of course, but Wolf specifically disqualifies masturbation as a method of achieving high orgasm: “A happy heterosexual vagina requires, to state the obvious, a virile man.”)  (Zoë Heller)
