Avid Readers

The Sunday Times (Zimbabwe) praises Jane Austen's Persuasion:

Besides being a journalist, I am also a literature student. As much as I am attracted to contemporary literature, I am equally an avid reader of old English literature in the tradition of Virginia Wolf, Charles Dickens, John Keats, Thomas Hardy, Charlotte Brontë and Jane Austen. (Ranga Mataire)

The Observer reviews a National Portrait Gallery exhibition of the artist Elizabeth Peyton:

There is a Heathcliff-like sepia portrait of Delacroix and a tender charcoal of Napoleon – as if Napoleon and Delacroix were both hot 20-year-olds who played in bands in the 1990s. (Bidisha)

The Butler Eagle publishes the obituary of the local actress Margaret Cahill:

She graduated with a degree in drama from Stanford University, where she starred in “Moor Born” as Anne Brontë during the 1943-44 season. (Samantha Beal)

Stake on Trent Live highlights the singing of Natasha Hemming:

The night started with their support act Natasha Hemming, who I really wanted to mention as this music prodigy was just wondrous to watch. She sang songs including Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights, hitting notes only a few can. She is certainly someone to look out for. 

The National Catholic Register vindicates the novels of John Henry Newman:

Newman’s first novel, Loss and Gain, was published in 1848. He was bold in entering the fray with a novel at that time. That same year such classics as Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens, William Thackeray’s Vanity Fair and Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall were all published. (K.V. Turley)

Female First quotes the actress Rose McGowan:

She explained: "I was reading mostly novels because I didn't want to have interference from other people's style.
"I read a lot of Charlotte and Emily Brontë. I re-read classics so nothing would affect me, but it's given me kind of a strange vocabulary that's a mix between Californian dude=speak and 18th century English literature [sic]." 

El Digital de León (Spain) mentions the Brontës:

En el siglo XIX, gran parte de las mujeres escritoras tenían que publicar con seudónimo de hombre para ser tomadas en serio. Émily (sic) Brontë y sus hermanas fueron muestra manifiesta de ello al escribir Cumbres Borrascosas fue publicada bajo el seudónimo de Ellis Bell. (Alejandra García) (Translation)

Olvido García Valdés in El País (Spain):

Mientras tanto, lo cierto es que, cuando cae una gran novela en mis manos, las horas pasadas leyendo libros desdeñables se ven recompensadas: me da la sensación de recuperar —corregida por el tiempo, ese falso curandero— aquel entusiasmo primordial que sentí cuando leí por primera vez, y en edición completa, Robinson Crusoe o, algunos meses más tarde, Cumbres borrascosas, que requisé de la biblioteca de mis padres y devoré muerto de miedo y sin entender del todo quién era quién, y de qué iba aquel oscuro espanto que tanto me atraía. (Translation)

Libreriamo (Italy) posts about Brontë country:

Protagonista indiscussa dei romanzi delle sorelle Brontë è la brughiera, questo paesaggio così suggestivo, selvaggio e incolto, che tanto ha ispirato le tre sorelle Emily, Charlotte e Anne. La brughiera infatti fa da cornice a Cime Tempestose e a Jane Eyre, ed è sempre la brughiera che sembra influenzare i caratteri dei personaggi e le loro azioni: una gigantesca e desolata metafora dell’animo umano.
Per conoscere meglio le tre sorelle e per visitare questo paesaggio così caratteristico e sublime allo stesso tempo, vi suggeriamo di dirigervi a Haworth, il piccolo paese dove le tre sorelle e il fratello Branwell hanno vissuto per la maggior parte della loro vita. (Translation)

Il Corriere di Torino (Italy) interviews Chiara Tagliaferri, co-author of Morgana:

Era una storia passionale e dolcissima ma anche crudele e tormentata. Lei, per la prima volta, era felice. Quello con Heathcliff (il protagonista di Cime Tempestose) è stato per anni «il mio amore migliore».  (Francesca Angeleri) (Translation)

The Yorkshire Post publishes some pictures of the Haworth's Steampunk Weekend. The Sunday Times publishes a profile of the actress Charlie Murphy and mentions her 'convincing' work as Anne Brontë in To Walk Invisible 2016.
