Two hundred years after the author's birth, Lily Cole - an admirer of Brontë's work - explores her world and the groundbreaking novel she produced, Wuthering Heights. Given that Brontë had to publish her book under the androgynous pseudonym Ellis Bell, Cole goes on to consider the parallels in terms of contemporary women's ongoing struggle to achieve equal pay, recognition and opportunity in their chosen profession. (David O'Shaughnessy)Coincidentally, Libreriamo (Italy) has selected a few of her poems translated into Italian. PrimaTivvù (Italy) posts on Emily's death anniversary (with the wrong picture, though).
Jane EyreAutostraddle has a rather puzzling remark:
The fictional heroine of Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 novel finds herself to be the governess at Thornfield Hall, where she quickly becomes romantically acquainted with her employer. Jane Eyre is an example of a governess who, despite constantly being described as plain and weak, is in fact one of the strongest characters in the novel. She is known by generations past and present as a headstrong woman who defies the characteristics of the traditional Victorian woman. (Eliz Akdeniz)
What was your first encounter with shorn women? Perhaps it was through literature. Who can forget Jo in Little Women, surely the queerest ostensibly straight girl in the English canon (aside from maybe Jane Eyre), lopping off her hair out of a sense of duty: “Your one beauty!” cries golden-curled Amy. (Jennifer Thorp)However, there is also a scene of a girl having her hair 'lopped off' in Jane Eyre.
