Raging against Society

Royston Crow and others recommend The Tenant of Wildfell Hall for the quarantine:

Being stuck at home and only allowed out to go to the shops seems a good time to read about feminism, and this is arguably the first feminist novel.
Wildly surprising in its modern sensibility, Brontë rages against a society that held women shackled to men and the home. (Alan Davies)

The Deccan Herald points out that quarantines are not always successful:

Reading a pictorial biography of the Brontë sisters, I was struck by the fact that those three gifted writers succumbed to consumption (tuberculosis). In fact, their father lost all five of his daughters to that disease. Whatever happened to quarantine? (Suryakumari Dennison)

We don't see the connection but Headlines of Today says

Howards End
Coordinated by James Ivory, this 1992 sentimental exemplary highlights exceptional exhibitions from notable on-screen characters Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. Investigating the different social classes of Victorian England, this story follows three families as they battle to positively shape the world while the blossoming love between Thompson’s Margaret and Hopkins Henry takes steps to inundate everybody’s reality in outrage. In case you’re a Brontë fan, this Victorian romantic tale is for you. (Komal Adlakha)

Bleeding Cool reviews Danielle Trussoni's The Ancestor:

We also talked about how publishing has changed in recent years. Producing the connected Crypto-Z audio series, Trussoni says, is an example of the kinds of work novelists do today to build on their own worlds and drive readership. We also talked about the influences of the book, which are many (from Frankenstein and Jane Eyre all the way to 20th-century Gothics) as well as Trussoni's own rigorous writing process. (Jason Henderson)

Another Magazine recovers a 2003 interview with Gwyneth Paltrow when she said

Wes Anderson: Who’s your favourite hero or heroine from books and movies?
GP: My favourite heroine in fiction is Franny Glass or Jane Eyre. I don’t have a favourite heroine in the movies because I don’t really like them.

Yorkshire Live gives reasons why Yorkshire is better than Lancashire (it is a friendly fight, don't panic):

Authors
Known worldwide for Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and Shirley, the Brontë literary family are one of Yorkshire's most famous exports, with fans travelling from all over the world to pay pilgrimage to their birthplace in Haworth. Lancashire has its famous authors, sure, but can it offer an entire family of them? (Dave Himelfield and Samantha Gildea)

In the death of the comedian Tim Brooke-Taylor Chortle shares this funny moment:

Pick Up Song
Singing Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights in this round from I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, introduced by Humphrey Lyttelton.

The New York Times follows the work of the cartoonist Tom Gauld:

Over the past few years, Gauld’s style has become instantly recognizable. His figures are as slender and featureless as Giacometti’s. They stand in for a kind of Everyman or woman, up against institutions and social mores that Gauld is intent on presenting as silly. Sometimes these people are tiny and robot-like, other times enormous and lumbering. His targets can be esoteric, as in the recent “Baking With Kafka,” where he sends up Proust, the Brontë sisters and Margaret Atwood. (Gal Beckerman)

The possibility of watching the National Theatre's production of Jane Eyre is mentioned by Times Square Chronicles,  Business World, Time Out New York, South Wales Argus, Egypt Today ... and reviewed on The Book of Esther or

Madeline Worrall plays Jane with wide-eyed, painful sensitivity as her life as a child descends into brutality and bullying but who emerges bruised but independent. She is in many senses a modern woman, wanting to be in charge of her own destiny and not willing to be tied to someone just for an easier life. She is also someone of strong opinions in an age when women in the main were meant to be seen and not heard. Her exchange with Rochester as she pours out her emotional decision to leave is magnificent. (...)
But you have to be in for the long haul. Starting with her birth, there is lot about Jane’s childhood and it is quite a long time before we even get to meet Mr Rochester. But it’s worth sticking with for the haunting music, exceptional chorus work, expressive acting and amazing set pieces.
A brilliant production well worth seeing—and it’s available online for free until next Thursday. (Suzanne Hawkes in British Theatre Guide)

Il Manifesto (Italy) explores the life and work of Jean Rhys:

La dolce creola sradicata dal mondo edenico dei Caraibi che impazzisce nel freddo castello gotico del suo signore e padrone, l’inglese Rochester, brucia viva nell’attico dove lui l’ha confinata. Rhys ha messo a punto la sua vendetta nella favola amara di Wide Sargasso Sea, riscrittura di Jane Eyre di Charlotte Brontë, un successo arrivato tardissimo, nel 1966. L’amnesia è finita, la storia riscritta, i pezzi raccolti e la nativa energia antillana hanno fatto il resto. (Viola Papetti) (Translation)

La Voix de l'Est (Quebec) talks about the book Sept femmes by Lydie Salvayre:

Oui, folles. Et belles — des merveilles. Il faut nommer leurs noms, parce qu’elles n’ont pas besoin de pseudonymes masculins : Emily Brontë, Marina Tsvetaeva, Virginia Woolf, Colette, Sylvia Plath, Ingeborg Bachmann, Djuna Barnes. (Billie-Anne Leduc) (Translation)

Sydsvenskan (Sweden) reviews the TV series Run:

Vardagens kranka blekhet drabbar aldrig Romeo och Julia. Eller Catherine och Heathcliff i Emily Brontës ”Svindlande höjder”. Eller Jack och Rose i James Camerons ”Titanic”.  (Michael Tapper) (Translation)

La Notizia (Italy) recommends the Jane Eyre episode in The Secret Life of Novels as seen on Rai 5 yesterday. AnneBrontë.org posts about William Wordsworth and the Brontës.
