Emily 200 (II)

Keighley News describes the reactions to the screening of Lily Cole's Balls at the Parsonage

The awestruck reaction to the screening was a highlight of a weekend of events devoted to Emily Bronte’s 200th birthday.
Social activist and model Cole created the eight-minute film in her role as the Bronte Society’s creative partner during Emily’s bicentennial year.
Filming in Liverpool, she focused on Wuthering Heights anti-hero Heathcliff, a foundling, to explore links between London’s Foundling Hospital and Emily’s novel. (David Knights)

Lily Cole writes in Vogue about her directorial debut Balls:

I was approached by the Brontë Parsonage Museum last year to become a creative partner for the bicentenary celebrations, commissioned with making a piece of work related to Brontë’s life and work. It came as a delightful surprise. I’ve always felt very connected to Wuthering Heights without knowing a lot about its author, beyond being intrigued by the fact that she used Ellis Bell as a pseudonym to publish under (I’ve even used Ellis Bell in the past as an email address). It is such a powerful and affecting novel; it left its mark on me when I first read it as a teenager and has stayed with me throughout my life.
I wanted to better understand Brontë’s motivations for writing the book, and for creating the foundling, Heathcliff, particularly because I am a Fellow for the Foundling Museum, a space dedicated to London’s Foundling Hospital. The hospital was essentially an orphanage, set up in 1739 in response to the many abandoned children of the time. I wanted to understand what England was like in Brontë’s time (the 19th century) and when Heathcliff was supposed to have been born (the 18th century), and so I dug into the extraordinary archives of the museum.  (Ellen Burney)

These are some of the newspapers and websites which celebrate the Emily Brontë bicentenary (and/or Kate Bush 60th anniversary):

The Guardian:

Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights – in charts.
Two hundred years after her birth, the ‘pagan’ and ‘repellent’ novel it seemed to early readers is a cornerstone of literary culture. We run the numbers on her extraordinary achievement (Adam Frost, Jim Kynvin and Jamie Lenman)

The 12 charts:

1. Emily didn't get out much.
2. When she did go out, she didn't say much
3. Like most of her family, she had a short life
4. But she wasn't that short
5. Family Life is Complicated in Wuthering Heights....
6. ,,, and spectacularly violent
7. The language is violent, too
8. The characters marry early and die young
9. It is unlike her sister's novels (or anyone else's)...
10. Few people like it at the time
11. ... but they like it now
12. The Brontës in numbers.

Also in The Guardian:

Creating Cathy: the story behind Wuthering Heights's wild heroine
How a ruthless warrior queen in a childhood fantasy became the prototype for Emily Brontë’s protagonist.
Whether you love it or hate it, there is no denying that . It is both a love story and a screeching train wreck of violence, cruelty and obsession. Its words contain a strength and soul that every writer hopes to achieve, yet few manage. As for the author, although , Emily Brontë has resonated with readers of all ages worldwide. Brontë’s novel does not shy away from the uncomfortable truths that make us human. And that is why her works strike home, generation after generation. (Emma Butcher)

The Telegraph:

On the trail of Emily Brontë: 10 places to celebrate the bicentenary of her birth
On the 200th anniversary of Emily Brontë's birth, we highlight the celebrations taking place on the ‘Wuthering Heights’ author’s home turf. (Chris Leadbeater)

Lucasta Miller in The Telegraph:

Who was the real Emily Brontë?
Emily Brontë died at the age of 30, having published one book, Wuthering Heights. Her doomed love story of Cathy and Heathcliff has become a by-word for passion, yet the original text remains darkly enigmatic. Unlike the sentimental Hollywood version starring Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon (or indeed Heathcliff: the Musical, an unlikely Nineties Cliff Richard vehicle), the novel is an intellectual puzzle, oddly detached and lacking the sensual eroticism which pervades her sister Charlotte’s works.

Also in The Telegraph a game to play:

Which Brontë sibling are you?
All four of the Brontës (well, except for Branwell, the often-forgotten brother) are noted for their enduring contributions to English literature, and between them they produced classic novels Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall among others.
But if you were lucky enough to have been born into this family of literary superstars, where would you fit? Would you be remembered forever as a literary genius, or die tragically young without fulfilling your true potential? Take this quiz to find out! (Spoiler: all of them died tragically young.) (Charlotte Runcie)

A more challenging quiz is the one proposed by OUP Blog: Which Brontë sister said it?
The Irish Times:

Understanding Emily Brontë: ‘Stronger than a man, simpler than a child’
The woman behind Wuthering Heights, one of the greatest novels in the English language, was born 200 years ago today.
Despite their short lives and relatively limited published output, the Brontë sisters have attracted more critical attention than most other 19th-century writers. Yet, of all of them, Emily, who was born 200 years ago on July 30th, remains an enigma. Biographer John Hewish remarked that her “life and personality are monolithic and tend to be biographer-proof”. (Brian Maye)

The Independent:

Emily Brontë at 200: How Kate Bush brought the author's Gothic romance Wuthering Heights to life.
Pop star inspired by 1967 BBC adaptation of Victorian novel and discovery she shared a birthday with mysterious writer.
Emily Brontë, the Yorkshire curate’s daughter who wrote Wuthering Heights, would have celebrated her 200th birthday on 30 July.
Like her elder sister Charlotte, the young author defied her closeted origins in the village of Thornton in the West Riding of Yorkshire to write the extraordinary Gothic romance about passionate love defying all adversity, even death.
The tale of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff and their tormented union remains a mainstay of the National Curriculum’s English syllabus in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. (Joe Somerland)

Incidentally, The Independent publishes a round-up of the most ill-used books by English teachers and their classes alike.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Another quintessential Victorian “monster”, Emily Brontë’s Gothic romance about the tortured love affair between Catherine Earnshaw and the untamable Heathcliff on the wild and windy moors must have been foisted on everybody at some point.
An extraordinary product of its young author’s fevered imagination, especially given the secluded life she and her prolific siblings led, Wuthering Heights’ themes are sufficiently ghoulish to retain the interest but it's an unattractive group of villains on show to be sure.
Kate Bush may or may not be a helpful teaching aid. (Joe Somerland)

Los Angeles Review of Books:

Who Was Emily Brontë?
The face is that of a young girl; delicate with brown hair framing small, rather pinched features. There is not even the hint of a smile, although she knew the artist very well. She is pale; the eyes may be a light green or gray. Her gaze seems intense and, significantly, is directed away into the distance — not the conventional direct pose for a portrait. It is only a profile, permitting minimum engagement. The sitter appears remote because in life, she was detached. This is a solitary, taciturn individual no one really knew, not even her siblings with whom she lived. Her closest relationships were with birds, dogs, and cats; she collected stray animals and had no friends; she left few letters, only dramatic, self-revelatory poems. Emily Brontë was about 15 years old when she sat for the ghostly study, possibly a fragment of a larger work, painted by her brother Patrick Branwell, the one person she would always forgive, and she was known to be most unforgiving. (Eileen Battersby)

Daily Express:

Ten things you never knew about... the Brontës. Emily Brontë, author of Wuthering Heights, was born 200 years ago today on July 30, 1818. (William Hartston) 

Also in the Daily Express a blunder by the presenter of BBC Breakfast talking about WEST Yorkshire's Haworth:

Today marks Emily Brontë’s 200th birthday and BBC Breakfast were celebrating the Wuthering Heights author.
Dan Walker and Louise Minchin discussed her life throughout the show, but appeared to miss one very important point.
The BBC pair kept heading back to their reporter in Haworth to see snippets of her short life.
Dan, 41, said Emily’s old home was in “North Yorkshire”, but viewers flooded to Twitter to correct him.  (...)
And Dan corrected himself later on during BBC Breakfast, admitting the gaffe got him into trouble.
He laughed: “I think I might have foolishly said ‘North Yorkshire’ which has got me into a bit of bother…” (Helen Daly)

The Conversation:

 Emily Brontë’s fierce, flawed women: not your usual Gothic female characters
Domestic violence, alcoholism, child abuse, neglect, sexual obsession and torture: Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel Wuthering Heights is nothing if not graphic in its depiction of the messy, frightening and chaotic lives of unhappy families. No wonder critics at the time were repelled by its “shocking pictures of the worst forms of humanity” and its “details of cruelty, inhumanity, and the most diabolical hate and vengeance”. But the women in the novel, trapped in these toxic, inter-generational cycles of abuse, are not passive but remain resolute and resistant. (Claire Pettitt)

Literary Hub:

Read Jane Eyre, But Burn Wuthering HeightsOn the occasion of her 200th birthday, we look back at ten of the first fiery reviews of Emily Brontë's gothic masterpiece.
How controversial was Emily Brontë’s then-pseudonymously published tale of cold-served revenge on the moors upon its release in 1847? Extremely, it turns out. Even before readers of the day discovered that that the author of this stark, gothic romance, “Ellis Bell,” was in fact a sickly and reclusive young woman, many were appalled by the book’s wildness, the savagery of its characters, and its depictions of intense mental and physical cruelty. Some reviewers greeted the novel’s publication with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation, while others condemned it outright as “a compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors.”

HistoryExtra

July marks the bicentenary of the birth of Emily Brontë, the novelist and poet best known for her novel Wuthering Heights (1847). Born on 30 July 1818 in Thornton, near Bradford in West Yorkshire, Emily was the fifth of six children including the famous Charlotte and (Patrick) Branwell Brontë. Emily died of tuberculosis on 19 December 1848 in Haworth, West Yorkshire, aged 30. Wuthering Heights remains consistently among the top three best-selling of all classic novels in the English language.
But how much do you know about Emily Brontë? Here, Claire O’Callaghan brings you 10 surprising facts about the writer’s life, death and writing… (Claire O'Callaghan)

BBC News:

The house where Emily was born is now a cafe serving 'nduja salami and mozzarella flatbread. Her literary sisters Charlotte and Anne and brother Branwell were born there too, but the cafe is simply named Emily's.
Two hundred years on, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights still means so much to so many readers - with the work continuing to inspire other artists. Here are a few of the ways her presence is still felt in the things we read, watch and listen to.

BBC Culture:

Heathcliff and literature's greatest love story are toxic.
Emily Brontë, who was born 200 years ago, imagined a character who for many is the ultimate romantic hero but for others is a menace, writes Hephzibah Anderson.
Brooding, untameable, downright tortured – what’s not to love? For many a reader, Heathcliff is the rugged embodiment of Byronic allure, all sturm und drang. This isn’t the only romantic cliché he personifies, either. He’s a walking rescue fantasy, the rejected child who’s suffered endless slights on his journey to manhood and requires only the love of a good woman to soothe his volatile soul. He’s misunderstood – deep and complicated and badly in need of someone who’ll truly get him.
Love for him is extreme, addictive, nihilistic – it’s about merging with another with such urgency that nothing else matters. And let’s not forget the tall-dark-handsome part, which is further enhanced by athleticism and smouldering eyes “full of black fire”. With his kinetic blend of instinct, intelligence and intensity, there’s something about Heathcliff to entrance readers of almost every erotic persuasion. ( Hephzibah Anderson)

The Sun:

Who was Emily Brontë, what are the Wuthering Heights author’s best books and poems and who were her sisters? (...)Taught in schools around the world, Emily’s only book Wuthering Heights is a 19th Century classic which explores class struggle and gender inequality.
At the time, the novel’s experimental structure and passionate nature divided critics and many early readers described the book as a “repellent novel”.
Since then, the extraordinary book has inspired countless film and television adaptions along with Kate Bush’s song of the same name.
The vampire saga Twilight was even inspired by Emily’s book of two equally passionate and possessive lovers. (Lydia Hawken)

Emily Brontë: 200th anniversary of birth of Wuthering Heights author 
By Louise Maher on Afternoons

July 30, 2018 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of one of the world's most remarkable writers — the poet and novelist Emily Brontë, the author of Wuthering Heights.
Emily Brontë lived a reclusive life on the Yorkshire moors and died at the age of 30.
Wuthering Heights was her only novel but it's a book that has a hold like no other.
Louise Maher spoke about Brontë's life and legacy with Professor Will Christie, head of the ANU Humanities Research Centre.

The Spectator:

 A walk in Emily Brontë’s footsteps
For fans of Wuthering Heights, a visit to the wiley, windy moors that inspired it is a must
Two hundred years ago today in a village in the West Riding of Yorkshire, Britain’s most famous literary family gained an extra member. That child’s name was Emily Brontë.
Apart from her only novel, Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë left us with little else after her death. Famous for her love of solitude and of the wild moors where she spent most of her time, Emily’s personal life remains tantalisingly enigmatic. And yet her evocative descriptions, her warts and all portrayal of human emotion, won her the loyalty of generations of fans. (Marianna Hunt)

 Inside Haworth: The humble parsonage where the Brontë sisters changed literature
Some of our most enduring stories were conceived at Haworth, the West Yorkshire parsonage which was home to Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë. Jeremy Musson enjoys a literary pilgrimage to its recently restored interiors, which have been beautifully photographed by Justin Paget.
A relatively humble West Yorkshire parsonage occupies a remarkable place in the story of English literature. It was the home of the Rev Patrick Brontë, a widower, where three of the children he raised there, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, became published novelists of lasting repute. Each generation discovers these extraordinary books for themselves and few readers of Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights or The Tenant of Wildfell Hall can fail to be curious about the stone walls that contained the short but productive lives of their authors.

 Emily Brontë, 200 años de desafío y vigencia de una autora clásica
La creadora de 'Cumbres borrascosas' nació el 30 de julio de 1818 y su prosa y poesía son analizadas hoy como una fuerza poderosa con temas que abrieron caminos a la literatura
En una casa de piedra rojiza y madera, en la cima de una colina custodiada por el cementerio del pueblo y los rugidos del viento, se fraguó lentamente un milagro literario.
Es la voz poderosa y persuasiva de Emily Brontë, la más solitaria de las tres hermanas que sobrevivieron al rosario de desdichas de la familia. Nacida hace 200 años, el 30 de julio de 1818, su única novela, Cumbres borrascosas, y unos 200 poemas, bajo el seudónimo masculino de Ellis Bell, desafiaron la época victoriana, rompieron los esquemas literarios predominantes, abrieron nuevas vías a la literatura y ella se adelantó con varios de sus temas, algunos con aires feministas que baten puertas y ventanas.

Cime tempestose è l’unico romanzo di Emily Brontë, che nacque il 30 luglio 1818, duecento anni fa, e morì a soli 30 anni il 19 dicembre 1848. Ambientato nella brughiera dello Yorkshire, nel nord dell’Inghilterra, tra la fine del Settecento e l’inizio dell’Ottocento, racconta di una storia d’amore tormentatissima: quella tra Catherine Earnshaw, la figlia di un uomo benestante, e Heathcliff, un uomo di umili origini adottato dal padre di lei. Un po’ per un malinteso, un po’ perché Catherine sceglie di sposare un altro uomo, Heathcliff passa la vita a vendicarsi di lei e delle altre persone che li avevano tenuti separati.

Yorkshire liegt in einem toten Winkel Englands. Im Westen der Grafschaft, inmitten eines unwirtlichen Hochmoors, befindet sich der Flecken Haworth. Im dortigen Pfarrhaus wohnten zwischen 1820 und 1855, zusammen mit ihrem Bruder Branwell, die drei Schwestern Charlotte, Emily und Anne Brontë, umsorgt von ihrem Vater, dem Pastor Patrick Brontë.

Ein Fenster für die Nachwelt.
Zu ihrem 200. Geburtstag gibt Emily Brontë ihren Bewunderern immer noch Rätsel auf. Versteht man ihren Roman „Sturmhöhe“ richtig, wenn man ihn als größte Liebesgeschichte aller Zeiten verfilmt?
Emily Brontë wurde im selben Jahr geboren wie Karl Marx, der später zu ihren Lesern gehörte. Sie starb im Revolutionsjahr 1848 und wird denn auch in den vielfältigen Interpretationen ihres einzigen Romans, „Sturmhöhe“, mitunter als vormarxistische Kritikerin von Bürgertum und Kapitalismus gefeiert. Die moderne Wissenschaft hat die rätselhafteste der drei schreibenden Pfarrerstöchter aus dem englischen Hochmoor im Lichte der jeweils modischen Theorien gedeutet. Doktorarbeiten und Bücher analysieren das verästelte Familiendrama, das Liebe, Missbrauch, Wahnsinn, Alkoholsucht, Anderssein und die Problematik des Klassenunterschiedes miteinander verwebt, unter feministischen, sozioökonomischen, metaphysischen und freudianischen Gesichtspunkten.

Bis aufs Blut
Klassengesellschaft ohne Maske: Zum 200. Geburtstag der viktorianischen Schriftstellerin Emily Brontë.
Heute feiern Literaturliebhaber weltweit den 200. Geburtstag der Schriftstellerin Emily Brontë (1818–1848). Ihr großer Roman »Sturmhöhe« von 1847 ist eine bemerkenswerte Kritik der britischen Klassengesellschaft zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhundert. In den 1840er Jahren befand sich England mitten in der industriellen Revolution. Emily und ihre Schwestern Charlotte und Anne, beide ebenfalls Romanautorinnen, erlebten die Verdrängung des Handwerks und die damit einhergehende Verelendung der Weber. Das Pfarrhaus ihres Vaters lag in der Nähe der Textilzentren von Yorkshire, deren Bevölkerung schwer getroffen wurde. Als Erwachsene erlebten die Brontës Fabrikreformen, Streiks, den Höhepunkt des Chartismus, die Hungersnot in Irland. All dies schlug sich in ihren Schriften nieder. (Jenny Farrell) (Translation)

La Tercera (Chile) interviews Laura Ramos, author of Infernales. La Hermandad Brontë.

Susana Parejas: ¿Qué cambió de tu idea previa de Emily a medida que ibas investigando?
Laura Ramos: Fui descubriendo, estupefacta, que Emile Brontë era un ser parecido a esa construcción artística infernal llamada Heathcliff (N. de la R.: protagonista masculino de Cumbres borrascosas). Cuando Catherine dice: “Heathcliff soy yo”, está hablando Emily, ella es Heathcliff. Sus cartas y diarios, poquísimos, porque la mayoría de sus papeles desaparecieron (probablemente quemados por ella misma) la revelan como feroz, despiadada, de un temperamento fuerte como una roca. Mi idea sobre ella cambió absolutamente, porque creía que era una joven tuberculosa débil, frágil y tímida. En tal caso, quien coincide con esta descripción es Anne, la más chica de los hermanos, criada bajo la disciplina calvinista de su tía desde que tenía un año de edad. Creo que Emily era una artista exquisita, la más genial de la cofradía, sin dudas, que desfallecía si no podía escribir, como de hecho le pasó mientras estuvo en Roe Head, una escuela para niñas donde Charlotte era maestra.
S.P. ¿Qué rol cumplía Emily dentro de la hermandad Brontë?
L.R.: Emily era la más poderosa. La temían. Se reía de Branwell, como demuestran escritos encontrados en el margen de textos de su hermano. Emily aconsejó a su padre, siendo niña, que si no podía razonar con Branwell, lo azotara. (Translation)
