Getting things completely wrong

House Beautiful looks at the prices some books have fetched in auctions:

Everyday items you might be tempted to bin could actually be worth a small fortune. According to Barnebys, the world's leading search aggregator for auctions, many books which would have been purchased originally for a few pounds, are now worth a small fortune, fetching high prices at auction.
According to joint founder of Barnebys, Pontus Silfverstolpe, the real gems of the book world to look out for are:
1. Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
In 2007 a rare first edition of this classic novel, originally published in 1847, sold at auction for a whopping £114,000. (Sarah Barratt)

The idea of subversion of the stereotype through re-visioning and rewriting became popular in the twentieth century, and has been a powerful tool for the voice of traditionally oppressed communities – by gender, by race, by class. Works such as Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys in response to Jane Eyre, and more recently The Wind Done Gone by Alice Randall as a reinterpretation of Gone with the Wind have been crucial in pointing out and dismantling the stereotypes in those classics of literature.

BBC Music lists '7 times music critics got things completely wrong', including:

Everyone v Kate Bush
Some artists are so far ahead of their time, it can take critics a while to catch up. But the issue when Kate Bush emerged in the late-70s was different. She was unlike any British artist before or since - a complete original - and, if anything, she was accused of being behind the times, not ahead of them.
Her debut single, Wuthering Heights, came out in 1978 - after the punk explosion - to much head-scratching from the press. As the Guardian reported, "Her odd combo of artiness and artlessness, and the way she came across in interviews - at once guileless and guarded - made her a target for music-press mockery. Her music was often dismissed as a middlebrow soft option, easy listening with literary affectations."
The assault was typified by Charles Shaar Murray of the NME in a review of a 1979 gig, which he described as "all the unpleasant aspects of David Bowie in the Mainman era.... [Bowie manager] Tony DeFries would've loved you seven years ago, Kate, and seven years ago maybe I would've too. But these days I'm past the stage of admiring people desperate to dazzle and bemuse, and I wish you were past the stage of trying those tricks yourself."
The public paid no attention. Wuthering Heights was a No.1, and Kate had two other Top 10s before 1980 was over. Come her second flurry of hits in the mid-80s, with songs like Running Up That Hill and Hounds of Love, the press made a dramatic U-turn. Kate suddenly became critically adored, as well as commercially successful. (Phil Hebblethwaite)
