Bleaker but Exciting

Quad City Times talks about the origins of the Literary Heroines exhibition in Iowa:

A woman attending the board meeting noted that the dress was from the time period of of Charlotte Brontë's novel, "Jane Eyre," and said she'd often wondered how characters in that story dressed.

Yorkshire Post has an article on the newly published: Irreplaceable. A History of England in 100 Places:

 Here in Yorkshire, a Quaker meeting house near Ilkley, Scarborough’s Grand Hotel and a former steel research laboratory in Sheffield get equal billing with the more predictable Brontë Parsonage in Haworth and Fountains Abbey.

A country walk as described in The York Press:

Before arriving at the hall look behind and to the north where there are lovely long distance views towards the Dales. Turn right at foot of Tewitt Hall's lane and enjoy the views the other way, into the bleaker but exciting Brontë moors.(Jonathan Smith)

The Herald Sun is also concerned the dangers of Heathcliff and Mr. Darcy:

Personally, I blame the Emily Brontës and Jane Austens of the world. Many generations of young women have grown up pining for Heathcliff and Mr Darcy, dark brooding men with volatile tempers and complicated ways of showing affection.

The apppeal of bad boys in The News Mail:

 "I think she saw him like a motherless boy," says Nina of her mother's do-gooder approach. "She was helping him get his HSC. He liked poetry and they had that shared interest while she was helping rebuild his life. She called it the Kathy (sic) and Heathcliff romance."
However, anyone who's read Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights will know that despite hoping beyond hope, in the end, it's clear Heathcliff doesn't have any redeeming qualities-and neither did Nina's dad. (Jessica Leahy)

hvg (Hungary) interviews the actress Rujder Vivien:

Kamaszkorom legelején olvastam Charlotte Brontëtol a Jane Eyre-t, bár nálam A lowoodiárva cim alatt futott. Érzésekben, szerelemben, vàgyakban az sokat hozzám tett. Filmek közül az Egy gésa emlékiratai nagy hatañst gyakorolt rám, 16 és 18 éves korom között nagyon soksztor láttam.(Varga Ferenc) (Translation) 

Smorgasbord interviews the writer Jaye Marie:

Welcome Jaye and perhaps we could start by finding out what you consider to be your favourite Book
As a child, I was a prolific reader. I would read anything, including several things I shouldn’t have. When I was in the hospital with appendicitis, I read every book in the ward.
The one book that still haunts me, is an illustrated copy of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.
The story enthralled me, but it was the beautiful illustrations that filled my dreams. They brought the story to life so well, that the nightmares in Jane Eyre’s life quickly haunted my dreams too. I have tried to find another copy of this book, as the drawings were exquisite, but so far I haven’t managed to track one down.
