Jane Eyre translated into movement and music, colour and light

Emily Midorikawa and Emma Claire Sweeney, authors of A Secret Sisterhood: The Literary Friendships of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, and Virginia Woolf have written an article on the subject for TIME's Motto.

But where are the women in this roster of legendary friendships? Jane Austen is mythologized as a shy and sheltered spinster; the Brontё sisters, lonely wanderers of windswept moors; George Eliot, an aloof intellectual; and Virginia Woolf, a melancholic genius.
Skeptical of such images of isolation, we set out to investigate. We soon discovered that behind each of these celebrated authors was a close alliance with another female writer. But, to this day, these literary bonds have been systematically forgotten, distorted or downright suppressed.
Similarly, the early 19th century upbringing of the Brontё sisters causes endless fascination, yet biographers pay scant attention to the literary influence of Charlotte’s friend, the feminist writer Mary Taylor.

We think that many Brontë biographies do pay attention to Mary Taylor and her possible influences on the Brontë family, though.

The Guardian reveals that Sally Cookson is now working on a stage adaptation of CS Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and highlights the fact that,

Her calling card, however, was a magnificent, two-part Jane Eyre, a total theatre treat that translated Charlotte Brontë’s book into movement and music, colour and light. Since its premiere at the Bristol Old Vic in 2014, more than 250,000 people have seen it on stage or on screen – possibly unprecedented for a piece of devised theatre. (Matt Trueman)

Whatever that means.

Escritores.org (Spain) posts information about a writing competition based on the final paragraph of Wuthering Heights. The information, however, is rather confused.

Y este año nos inspiraremos en una obra de la ilustre escritora británica: Emily Brontë, porque en 2018 se conmemorará el paso de un siglo desde su nacimiento y merece recordar a esta poetisa, que toco la narrativa bajo el pseudónimo de: “Ellis Bell” y que será siempre recordada por su única novela titulada: “Cumbres Borrascosas” y aunque sea poco decoroso, esta vez tiraremos de su párrafo final, porque seguro que os sugiere, otra corta pero gran historia:
(Ya nos contaréis, cuáles eran aquellos sueños o quienes descansaban en aquellas tumbas, quietas o inquietas…) [...]
Como reza el cartel de esta quinta edición de nuestro certamen, la Dirección del Concurso, quiere conmemorar, otra efeméride literaria de gran relevancia internacional, el primer centenario del nacimiento de la poetisa británica la inglesa: Emily Brontë (Thornton, 30 de julio de 1918 – Haworth, 19 de diciembre de 1848) aunque lo hiciera en su lengua, cuya obra ha sido íntegramente traducida a esta lengua española que tanto queremos.
