Rigor, Routine and Ritual

Politico quotes Charlotte Brontë:

When Jane Eyre was first published in 1847 under Brontë’s pen name Currer Bell, many tried to guess the author’s gender. According to Brontë, the Economist’s literary critic at the time called the book praiseworthy if written by a man, but “odious” if written by a woman. “To such critics I would say,” Brontë wrote in a letter, “To you I am neither man nor woman — I come before you as an author only.” (Elizabeth Ralph)

Wallpaper talks about Loewe's art collection:

[Jonathan] Anderson himself is a renowned collector. Earlier this month, he was named a trustee of the Victoria and Albert Museum. In recent seasons, his shows and presentations for Loewe have centred around the role of an imagined collector, be it the minds behind the Signals London, the avant-garde 1960s art gallery that championed experimental and non-established artists, or a bibliophile infatuated by the works of Flaubert and Emily Brontë, or craftsman obsessed with colourful handmade pompoms.

The Harrogate Advertiser interviews the author Su Adams:

The grandmother-of-five added: “My favourite author is Emily Brontë and I lived not far from Haworth where she wrote her outstanding novel, Wuthering Heights. (Finola Fitzpatrick)

The Nero Daily lists some new fiction releases:

The Lost History of Dreams by Kris Waldherr
A post-mortem photographer unearths dark secrets of the past that may hold the key to his future, in this captivating debut novel in the gothic tradition of Wuthering Heights and The Thirteenth Tale. (Elise Dumpleton)

Religion News Service talks about Vanessa Zoltan's Harry Potter and the Sacred Text podcast:

A grandchild of Holocaust survivors, she wasn’t sure what to do with the idea of a benevolent God. And she wasn’t sure how to pray or what it meant. But she thought she’d better figure it out before she graduated, she said.
So she asked a professor to teach her to pray using her favorite novel, Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre.”
Together, they developed a system for what it meant to treat a text as sacred. She found that the more time you spend with a text, the more gifts and blessings it will give.
Treating a text as sacred also includes rigor, routine and ritual, said Zoltan. And it’s best done in community.
After attending a small discussion group Zoltan was leading about “Jane Eyre,” ter Kuile — a friend and classmate at Harvard Divinity School — told her she was on to something.
It would be better, though, if she focused on “a book people wanted to read,” Zoltan recalled him telling her.
Thus, “Harry Potter and the Sacred Text” was born. (Emily McFarlan Miller)

Pajiba reviews The True Story of J.T., the Literary Hoax:

Authors have used pseudonyms before. It’s a proud part of literature’s lineage. Some authors like the Brontë sisters published their work under men’s names to overcome societal misogyny. (Kayleigh Donaldson)

Awards Circuit has a list of impressive film auteurs genre flipping:

Andrea Arnold - (...) The same rebellious energy is found in “Wuthering Heights” with Heathcliff, an unstable foreigner who finds himself at the psychologically vexing mercy of the Victorian era. The jump from contemporary indie drama to a Gothic period piece with tumultuous interpersonal conflict demonstrates range and artistic ambition. (Joseph Braverman)

Film Threat talks about films about dance:

 Up until somewhat recently, the extent of my modern dance knowledge was knowing who Martha Graham is, and seeing the “Running Up That Hill” and “Wuthering Heights” videos by Kate Bush about a million times. I don’t know too much more now, but my interest in the phenomenon was piqued when narrative films explored the arena. (Lorry Kikta)

Study Breaks reviews the film After:

During the party, Tessa roams the house in an angry rage, ending up in Hardin’s room, where she discovers that he has a copy of “Wuthering Heights.” The two end up in the same literature class, where they get in a feisty debate over “Pride and Prejudice.” (Kelsey Rogers)

The Imaginative Conservative has some books she wouldn't want to be in:

Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë (1816–1855, 1818–1848, 1820–1849, English)
I would always rather be happy than be in their books.
These gals can write! But they can write me out of their novels. Gothic romance and melodrama is not for everyone. The damp English weather may not have been conducive for good health and cheerfulness for these young ladies, but it did wonders for their creative imagination. As a potential character in their books, I opt for less of the moors. (Susannah Pearce)

Finally, several news outlets talk about the film Wild Nights with Emily mentioning a Brontë novel aptly named Wuthering Jane as seen by Emily Dickinson: San Diego Reader, Film-Forward ... Fortunately, Reeling Reviews gets the joke

Emily more than likely also took Kate Scott Turner (Allison Lane) as a lover after a spat with Susan, sparking jealousy between the two.  An older friend of her father’s, Judge Otis Lord, was also a suitor (hilariously portrayed by Al Sutton as barely able to stay awake and confusing the works of Emily and Charlotte Brontë    as ‘Wuthering Jane’). (Robin)

France Culture (France) recommends the documentary Quelque chose en nous du Romantisme:

"Les hauts de Hurlevent", mythique roman d'Emily Brontë, est un choc à sa sortie en 1847 : la violence y côtoie le plus grand amour et chaque personnage du roman, perçu dans sa complexité, permet au lecteur d’en ressentir les expériences extrêmes. De la France, à l’Allemagne, en passant par l’Angleterre, laissez-vous guider par vos sentiments pour fuir le réel et vous plonger dans le romantisme. (Camille Bichler) (Translation)

Cosmopolitan (Poland) recommends reading Jane Eyre and The Oddness of Moving Things reviews it; thatched-roof reviews Wuthering Heights. The Sisters's Room selects yet another Brontë Parsonage treasure: Anne Brontë's pencil drawing Woman Gazing at a Sunrise Over a Seascape.
