Abhilasha Unnikrishnan: You found your love for books and writing at a very young age, who were your favourite authors growing up?Still in India, She The People asks several female writers about her favourite novel:
I have been an avid reader since I can remember and started really loving to read through Harry Potter. I remember waiting to check the books out at my school library as they were released. I also loved classic literature, Jane Austen, The Brontë Sisters, Hemingway. My love for reading really bloomed from them and it definitely shaped the way I write characters and plotlines. Everyone loves a classic trope.

Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre: An orphan without money, charm or looks, Jane manifests something far more dear and in short supply: integrity, introspection, and intelligence. She is as unflinchingly honest with herself as with others. And for all her prickly, unsentimental nature, Jane does not withhold compassion when it’s warranted. (Deepshikha Chakravarti)
3. Emily Brontë“I welcome thee, Benignant Power;Sure solacer of human cares,And sweeter hope, when hope despairs!”When there’s not much pleasure to be taken in the real world, why not do as the Brontë sisters did so well and immerse ourselves in the imaginary world?The Brontë sisters revelled in their imaginary kingdom, Gondal, where their toy soldiers resided. But the poetry that stands from this period shows not just remains of the fictional world of Gondal, but also allegorical tales and expressions of lived experience.With Netflix’s stock price up massively from last year and sales of puzzles and board games soaring, people are looking at ways to escape reality in 2020 and, in doing so, may actually be making some sense of these unprecedented times.It’s amazing what we can do with an active mind and a dull life.

The National Theatre put on a season of their best recent productions – NT Live – on YouTube to remind viewers of the joys of live theatre. The range was thrilling, but perhaps most striking was the number of powerful female performances: Rattigan’s Deep Blue Sea with Helen McCrory, Gillian Anderson in Streetcar, Sally Cookson’s Jane Eyre, Simon Godwin’s thrilling Twelfth Night with Tamsin Greg as Malvolia and Phoebe Fox as Olivia. (David Herman)
Melissa Ruggieri: What have you been listening to?C.H.: A lot of Kate Bush. I found (her 1978 debut single) “Wuthering Heights” one day, and I saw the video and was like, what the hell is this? It sucked me in, even though it was my least favorite (Emily) Brontë book.
Bridgerton, which is the first show released on Netflix produced by Shonda Rhimes after her headline-making exclusive deal with the company, is set in the early-1800s period known as the Regency, during the Austen-Brontë stretch of time when English society's structure was rigid, corsets were tight, and marriage was the Number One priority of any woman considered of age. (Emma Stefansky in Thrillist)
Esse par improvável é um clichê da literatura, mas funciona muito bem na série: Daphne e Simon têm ótima química em cena, inclusive em momentos quentes que você não vê, nem de longe, nos livros de Jane Austen ou das irmãs Brontë (Beatriz Amendola in Splash (Brazil)) (Translation)
Alla faccia di Jane Eyre, l'Inghilterra di Bridgerton è un tripudio di abiti nelle più svariate palette pastello e tonalità acide che sembrano rubate alle confezioni di pastiglie Leone. (Giada Borioli in Grazia (Italy)) (Translation)
Yngsta systern Brontë skakade om viktorianer. De tre systrarna Brontë skapade några av den brittiska litteraturens klassiker. Yngst var Anne, vars 200-årsminne firas det här året.
Systrarna växte upp i en prästgård i Yorkshire och omgivna av det karga hedlandskapet skapade de sina passionerade storverk. Äldsta systern Charlotte blev berömd för ”Jane Eyre”, utgiven 1847. Näst äldsta systern Emily gjorde samtidigt succé med ”Svindlande höjder”. Lillasyster Anne släppte debutromanen ”Agnes Grey” samma år, , men hamnade lite i skymundan. Hon hade skrivit klart berättelsen några år tidigare, men eftersom den kom ut först efter ”Jane Eyre” blev den bara betraktad som en blek kopia. (Read more) (Translation)
En France, Mona Ozouf vient de remettre cette auteure au premier plan où la situaient Proust et Gide. Son brillant essai d’histoire littéraire, L’autre George, à la rencontre de George Eliot se réfère à George Sand, comparse en admiration réciproque et en féminisme pionnier. Il est à noter que l’une et l’autre, comme aussi les sœurs Brontë, durent avoir recours à des pseudonymes masculins ou sans connotation de genre. Autre symptôme d’époque : en 1880 George Eliot en dépit de sa notoriété n’eut pas droit d’être enterrée au « Coin des poètes » en l’abbaye de Westminster comme le fut son illustre contemporain, Charles Dickens ; elle ne perdit rien au change puisqu’elle le fut auprès de l’homme auquel elle survécut de peu, « son » George.Cette Angleterre victorienne nous pose encore une autre grande question culturelle : si l’on ajoute les Sœurs Brontë et Austen, pour ne mentionner qu’elles, comment se fait-il que ces deux générations de femmes, pour la plupart mortes à l’âge où les écrivains accèdent à la maturité humaine, aient produit une telle moisson d’œuvres, aussi fortes que Les Hauts de Hurlevent, Jane Eyre, Orgueil et préjugés, Persuasion… C’est comme si, et Virginia Woolf émettra l’hypothèse, de la place où elles étaient reléguées et depuis leur coin de table de famille, elles avaient tiré un poste d’observation d’autant plus éclairant sur l’humanité qu’elles la voyaient défiler sans que celle-ci les vît. (Jean-Philippe Domecq) (Translation)
