TV.com reviews the midseason finale of
Outlander:
This moment was very different in the book; Claire only headed in the direction of the rocks. The screen version heightened the drama by having Frank be amongst the Standing Stones in 1945 as Claire raced toward them in 1743, both of them yelling each other’s names in a very Jane Eyre fashion.

La Stampa (Italy) reviews the Italian TV series
Un'altra vita:
Strano che non si sia identificata con Vanessa Incontrada. «Con lei è scattato subito feeling sul set, con la sua naturalezza ci ha aiutato a rendere una donna sfaccettata presa da mille dubbi e sentimenti: la coppia, il lavoro, la famiglia, gli uomini e un mistero che come in Jane Eyre fa da tirante all’intera vicenda. (Simonetta Robiony) (Translation)
Le Magazine Littéraire (France) publishes the obituary of the publisher Jean-Jacques Pauvert:
Jean-Jacques Pauvert est une figure faussement marginale de l'édition littéraire française du XXe siècle. Identifié à la maison qui porte son nom, il sera non seulement l'éditeur mais aussi souvent l'ami de ses auteurs, de Bataille à Pierre Klossowski en passant par Guy Debord. Découvreur de génie, féru d'indépendance, il publiera André Breton, René Crevel, Topor, Raymond Roussel, Tristan Tzara, Boris Vian, Albert Camus, Albertine Sarrazin, Jean Genet, mais aussi Emily Brontë et le Dictionnaire de Littré, Françoise Sagan et l'Histoire de l'art d'Élie Faure. (Alexandre Gefen) (Translation)
Economy (Serbia) talks about literary tourism:
Ništa manje nije slavan ni Havort, mesto u Zapadnom Jorkširu gde je dom sestara Brontë pretvoren u istoimeni muzej koji svake godine pohodi ogroman broj turista, onih „literarnih“. (Translation)
The Bi-College News informs that the
