New public artworks are on display along the Brontë Way as part of the Brontë Parsonage Museum’s celebration of the bicentenaries of the Brontës’ births.
"Sew Near – Sew Far", a collaboration between textile artist Lynn Setterington and the parsonage, features large-scale artwork at three sites on the Brontë Way, near the Brontë Bridge and Waterfall, each celebrating the famous signatures of the sisters.
The works spell out the names Currer Bell, Ellis Bell and Acton Bell, the pseudonyms respectively used by Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë to disguise the fact they were women.
Lynn said: “I’ve been working with local people to develop the artworks and have invited them to add their own signatures to the piece. We’re also creating a film documenting the process, which will be shown later in the year."
On display from Saturday, (September 30) to October 14, Sew Near – Sew Far forms part of Brontë200, a five-year programme from Brontë Parsonage Museum celebrating the bicentenaries of the births of Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne Brontë.
Parsonage arts officer Lauren Livesey said: “While we have a long-standing reputation of working with leading artists, this project with Lynn is a first for us as we take the exhibition out of the museum and into the landscape that was so important to the Brontës." (David Knights)

La Voz de Almería talks about the Mujeres de fábula book+exhibition:

“Un homenaje al arte como forma de vida, como fuente del pensamiento crítico”. De este modo define la escritora y colaboradora de LA VOZ Mar de los Ríos su último proyecto, ‘Mujeres de fábula’. Un libro, una exposición de ilustraciones y un cortometraje que, tras presentarse este verano en las IV Jornadas ‘Carboneras Literaria’, se adueñan hasta el 17 de octubre del Espacio de Mujeres de Diputación, en la Plaza Marín de la capital.
La artífice de la propuesta la da a conocer al público hoy martes día 3 a las 20 horas en un encuentro en el que estará acompañada por su hija Marina Hernández, realizadora del documental ‘La habitación hecha de fábulas’ y una de las diez creadoras que firman las ilustraciones que forman parte de la publicación y de la muestra, que podrá visitarse de 10.30 a 13.30 y de 18 a 20 horas.
‘Mujeres de fábula’ (Playa de Ákaba, 2017) es un libro sobre libros. Libros que han llenado la vida de Mar de los Ríos, que en sus 180 páginas brinda un triple homenaje: a las novelas, a sus protagonistas y a las escritoras que las idearon. Los títulos en los que la autora se mete de lleno -y con ella su protagonista, Rita- son ‘Mujercitas’ de Louisa May Alcott, ‘Mathilda’ de Mary Shelley, ‘Cumbres borrascosas’ de Emily Brontë, ‘La gaviota’ de Fernán Caballero (pseudónimo de Cecilia Böhl), ‘Orgullo y prejuicio’ de Jane Austen, ‘Puñal de claveles’ de la almeriense Carmen de Burgos, ‘La marquesa’ de George Sand (pseudónimo de Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin), ‘La cabaña del tío Tom’ de Harriet Beecher Stowe, ‘Jane Eyre’ de Charlotte Brontë y ‘Dulce dueño’ de Emilia Pardo Bazán.

Hyperallergic reviews the film Mother!

Jane Eyre it is not: if Mother! could initially read as slow and delicate, dripping with passive-aggression and chilly aloofness between husband and wife, its final third is an epic shitshow to rival Polansky’s Rosemary’s Baby or del Toro’s Crimson Peak. (Eileen G'Sell)

Flickering Myth reviews the latest episode of Star Trek: Discovery:

It’s something of a truism – or more accurately, it’s a truism that it’s a truism – that prequels rarely have any dramatic merit because audiences already know what’s going to happen next. Everyone knows Anakin Skywalker will eventually become Darth Vader, so there’s no tension. Everyone knows what happens in Jane Eyre, so why bother with Wide Sargasso Sea? And, of course, everyone knows that Kirk, Picard et al didn’t have this means of instantaneous transportation, so why bother with Star Trek: Discovery? (Alex Moreland)

Columbia Metropolitan reviews Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca:

The plot is a familiar one, and it comes as no surprise that Jane Eyre was one of du Maurier’s favorite books. A young girl just out of school falls in love with and marries a wealthy, brooding, older man who has recently lost his beautiful, socialite wife, Rebecca, in a boating accident. (...)
Unlike Jane Eyre, the novel contains no momentary hint of the supernatural at any point, yet the titular character –– dead a year before the novel begins –– still lives, breathes, haunts, and controls every page of the plot from start to finish. (Margaret Clay)

The Herald (Zimbabwe) talks about the guinea fowl and proverbs:

We identify with Emily Brontë’s Heathcliff and spit out his venom with him as he menacingly tells Catherine, the woman of his obsession, that if she should cross him she will discover practically that the dead are not annihilated. (David Mungoshi)

Awesomegang interviews the writer MJ Gardner:

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Wuthering Heights, the Devil in the White City, Publish and Perish, and How to Survive on a Desert Island.

Buka (Bosnia) interviews Camille Paglia who makes a controversial statement:

 U povijesti umjetnosti, nijedna žena nije značajno utjecala na stilske tokove ili uopće imala ikakvog utjecaja. Uzmimo Emily Brontë, Emily Brontë je u ‘Orkanskim visovima’, zaista nanovo osmislila pojam novele, afirmirala modernističku narativnu strategiju, no nije imala apsolutno nikakvog utjecaja, ‘Visove’ je objavila pod muškim pseudonimom tako da nema ni govora o patrijarhalnoj represiji. Emily Dickinson također, reinventirala poeziju i čitav ritam, nikakav utjecaj. Čitava povijest umjetnosti, žao mi je što to moram reći, jest i ostat će napisana u kapitalnim stilističkim promjenama koje je kreirao muškarac. (Đino Kolega) (Translation)

Blasting News (in Spanish) discusses the Harry Potter influences:

Snape en Cumbres Borrascosas
El personaje de Severus Snape, que llegó a convertirse en uno de los favoritos de los fans, podría estar basado en Heathcliff de Cumbres Borrascosas. Su aspecto físico es prácticamente idéntico y los dos están enamorados de una mujer ya fallecida, a la que conocieron siendo niños. Además, tienen el mismo carácter. (Amalia María Castellot de Miguel) (Translation)

24 Heures (Switzerland) interviews the film director Petra Volpe:

Pendant longtemps, la jeune fille qu’elle était n’a jamais pensé que le cinéma pouvait devenir une activité professionnelle. Son «échappatoire» préférée, elle la trouvait dans la littérature. «Je volais les livres réservés aux adultes dans la bibliothèque de ma mère. C’était très important de lire. Je me souviens d’un camp de cheval où j’avais été envoyée ado et je détestais les chevaux. Chaque nuit, je lisais Les Hauts de Hurlevent à la lampe torche.»  (Boris Senff) (Translation)

Mangialibri (in Italian) reviews the book Cenere sulla brughiera (Francesca De Angelis):
