Yorkshire Post interviews the actress and playwright
Deborah McAndrew:
One of her particular icons is Anne Brontë. “She has a reputation as churchy and obedient, but I don’t find that in her writing – it’s political and feisty. When you say you’re a Brontë fan, some people – men, mostly – say the books are full of bonkers people, written by women who knew nothing of life. I find that view extraordinary. I felt that by comparison with the great writers I had nothing important to say and wasn’t clever enough." (Sheena Hastings)
You can continue reading the interview to discover how she finally changed her mind.
Yorkshire, i norra England, har i alla tider varit ett grevskap som fått utgöra litterär bakgrundsmiljö i alla möjliga sammanhang - från systrarna Brontë, via James Herriot och framåt och många är de författare som har sina rötter - eller som har levt en stor del av sina liv - här. ( Mystiska Ms M) (Translation)
