First of all, a tweet from the Brontë Parsonage Museum:
Anglotopia has an article on the Great Exhibition of 1851 and quotes some of Charlotte Brontë's words about it.
The British writer Charlotte Brontë, on visiting the exhibition in the summer of 1851, wrote, “Its grandeur does not consist in one thing, but in the unique assemblage of all things.” (Jonathan)
LitReactor shares this year's staff picks and one of them is
"Wide Sargasso Sea" by Jean Rhys
I generally hate prequels, but this is a prequel to Jane Eyre the way the Old Testament is a prequel to the New.. Powerful, weird, lush, sad— there's a reason this book is still very much alive. Read along with JE for the best effect. (Kathe Koja)
Park Rapids Enterprise has an article on bookish books which includes Jasper Fforde's
The Eyre Affair.
It pays to brush up on “Jane Eyre” before reading Jasper Fforde’s “The Eyre Affair,” a hilarious, mind-blowing thriller set in a world where literary figures mingle with real people. Among its six sequels is “Lost in a Good Book.” There’s also a spinoff series called “Nursery Crime,” featuring Mother Goose characters gone bad. (Robin D. Fish)
Screen Rant recommends '10 Shows To Watch If You Love
Poldark' such as
Wuthering Heights (2009)
If we're talking about literature classics, we simply have to talk about Wuthering Heights. This English masterpiece has been adapted to both the big and small screen dozens of times, with each adaptation giving us something new and unique. We suggest you dip your toes into the 2009 version.
It stars none other than Tom Hardy himself as the infamous Heathcliff, in one of the best performances of his life. Plus, Hardy and Charlotte Riley, the actress who plays Cathy, fell in love during filming and have been married for years since. You can imagine how insane the chemistry is!
Jane Eyre (2006)
Yet another fabulous 19th-century classic, Jane Eyre has also been the target of endless movies and TV show adaptations over the years. However, most fans and scholars will agree that the 2006 version is the best one to date, mostly due to how faithful it is to the source material.
The grim and dark feel of the show will feel familiar to fans of Poldark, much like Jane and Rochester's rocky relationship. The performances are a delight, and even though it's a miniseries, it's definitely worth a watch. It will instantly quench your thirst for period dramas! (Mariana Fernandes)
Jane Eyre 2006 also makes it onto a selection of Ruth Wilson's best roles on
Critictoo (France).
Jane Eyre (2006)
Nous sommes au début de la carrière de Ruth Wilson. Avant cela, elle a joué dans la comédie Suburban Shootout (2005) — dans un tout autre registre. Elle se fait dès lors remarquer dans la peau de Jane Eyre, l’héroïne orpheline de Charlotte Brontë qui se retrouve à prendre un poste de gouvernante au service de M. Rochester (Toby Stephens) à Thornfield Hall. Pour sa prestation, elle est nommée aux Baftas, Broadcasting Press Guild, Satellite Awards et aux Golden Globes. (Carole) (Translation)
South China Morning Post reviews the film
Portrait de la jeune fille en feu (
Portrait of a Lady on Fire).
With the rugged Brittany coastline providing the backdrop, Sciamma and her cinematographer also capture something brooding and barbaric in the rough seas and windswept beaches – a Gallic equivalent of the Yorkshire moors in Wuthering Heights. Like the brushwork of artist Helen Delmaire, who painted all the pictures seen in the film, the landscape exudes emotion. (James Mottram)
Finally, an alert for later today in Oviedo (Spain) as reported by
El Comercio.
