The Independent marks '100 years of film in Bradford: How the West Yorkshire city became the Hollywood of the UK' and recalls the fact that,
There have been at least two adaptations of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, shot on the very hills that inspired the novel. (David Barnett)
More Yorkshire as Yorkshire Life features writer Joanne Harris.

The Irish Echo throws a good many literary references into a review of a concert by Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi.
The Giddens-Turrisi concert was, for me, like reading a Brontë novel. With each turn of the page I know I am immersed in classic, moving, masterpiece literature, and yet I feel perturbed, ill at ease, like I want to relocate to the safety of Austen’s Pemberley. Thankfully, Giddens and Turrisi are not Catherine and Heathcliff, but the music they made on that rainy Dublin night elicited some of that creepy, tortured aura and historical haunting that one finds in Brontë or, better yet, Toni Morrison.
