'The wind that blows through this novel is the wind of sexual equality'

The New York Times features Essential Essays. Culture, Politics, and the Art of Poetry by Adrienne Rich, edited and with an introduction by Sandra M. Gilbert.

Of “Jane Eyre,” she writes, “The wind that blows through this novel is the wind of sexual equality.” (Craig Morgan Teicher)

A contributor to Medium discusses costume dramas.

Colorblind casting has been gaining traction in the theater for several decades, and more recently on television and film — recent productions like the 2017 television version of Howards End and William Oldroyd’s 2016 film, Lady Macbeth (an adaptation of a 19th-century Russian novella), included actors of color in minor or supporting roles. Andrea Arnold’s Wuthering Heights (2011) saw Heathcliff played by black actors Solomon Glave and James Howson. And Amma Asante’s Belle (2013) was the exceptionally rare period drama both made by and starring women of color. (Joanna Scutts)

Vogue Australia features 'model, actress, activist, swimwear and lingerie designer' Emily Ratajkowski.

 I ask about her parents – John David Ratajkowski, a contemporary artist, and Kathleen Balgley, an English professor, who “would hand me books as I was growing up and say: ‘Emily, you’re at the age for this one.’” In third grade it was To Kill a Mockingbird – “the classics” – and later, Wuthering Heights. (Zara Wong)

Still in Australia, Booktopia asks 'Ten Terrifying Questions' to writer Nikki McWatters.

4. What were three works of art – book or painting or piece of music, etc – you can now say had a great effect on you and influenced your own development as a writer?  [...]
In literature it was Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights that struck a chord. I related so deeply to the complicated character of Catherine, and Heathcliff was my first literary crush. 

La Vanguardia (Spain) interviews writer Kate Morton.

Su literatura recuerda a los románticos británicos. Pero, más en concreto, ¿cuáles son sus referentes literarios? Son tantos… Pero siempre vuelvo a los autores que me hicieron convertirme en escritora. Libros y autores muy ingleses, sobre todo. Por ejemplo, las hermanas Brontë. (Fernando García) (Translation)

Chris The Story Reading Ape Blog has writer Anne Goodwin tell some tidbits about herself.

Tramper of moors
Walking is my main form of exercise, as well as my go-to strategy for reaching that state of reverie where the ideas flow. I take a short walk most days (unless it’s peak slug-slaying season in the garden) and, every other Sunday, I’m out on the moors as a volunteer ranger for the Peak District National Park. In late spring/early summer, I lead a walk in Jane Eyre country with readings from Charlotte Brontë’s well-loved novel. Maybe you’ll join me one day?

Culturamas (Spain) lists Wuthering Heights as one of 25 classics to read in your lifetime.

Cumbres borrascosas de Emily Brontë.
Cumbres borrascosas, la épica historia de Catherine y Heathcliff, situada en los sombríos y desolados páramos de Yorkshire, constituye una asombrosa visión metafísica del destino, la obsesión, la pasión y la venganza. Con ella, Emily Brontë rompió por completo con los cánones del decoro que la Inglaterra victoriana exigía a toda novela, tanto en el tema escogido como en la descripción de los personajes. La singularidad de su estructura narrativa y la fuerza de su lenguaje la convirtieron de inmediato en una de las obras más perdurables e influyentes de la historia de la literatura.

Jewish World Review is all for 'urban Luddism'.

And that brings us to the cellphone. The late Steve Jobs may be a secular saint to some, but to old-time urbanites, not so much. As in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, the first few arrivals didn't seem a big deal. My initial thought, seeing a few early, clunky models on the street, was, What kind of poor slob isn't allowed to think his own thoughts while walking home without being ambushed by orders or questions from the office? Next, part of the romance of urban life evaporated. No more could you imagine that the girl with the face of an angel might have the mind of a Jane Austen or the heart of a Jane Eyre. "I tried on jeans at Bloomingdales for, like, half an hour, and I'm at 65th Street now. I'll be at the bar in, like, five minutes. Wait, maybe six. The light just turned green. I'm crossing Lexington Avenue now." My champion was the ice princess who wirelessly broke up with her boyfriend while walking up Madison Avenue. She kept having to repeat herself, because he obviously couldn't believe she was doing it — and doing it over the phone, moreover. So she gave him reasons, each more ego-crushing than the last. Less Jane Eyre, I'm afraid, than Lady Macbeth. (Myron Magnet)

Broadway World UK looks back on 2018 theatre-wise.

New and younger companies made a lasting impression, with The Fall presented by the National Youth Theatre, and Wasted, an original musical about the Brontë siblings - both at Southwark Playhouse. The first was a candid look at growing old in a climate that's becoming more and more adverse; the latter set 19th-century Yorkshire to rock music to introduce its world-renowned writers.

WWD is reminded of Wuthering Heights by Chloé's Pre-Fall 2019 collection.

The collection’s boho vibe was on fine form, as always without too much of a romantic tilt, with the designer folding feminine soft elements like printed silk blouses and scarves into hard-edged looks. Key ingredients included Carnaby Street-inspired velvet; trompe l’oeil-printed houndstooth fabrics that gave a horsey, “Wuthering Heights” flavor, and utilitarian wear. (Katya Foreman)
