Wuthering Heights was once intellectual property

Keighley News announces an event which will take place in Haworth in mid-October:

A second pop-up event is being staged at Haworth’s Old School Room to showcase the work of independent creatives.

It takes place at the Church Street premises on Saturday and Sunday, October 16 and 17, from 10am to 4pm.

Curator Haworth Creatives says a wide range of goods will be on offer at the free-admission event, which follows a successful weekend in August. [...]

Photographer and videographer Christian Jaemes will present his popular Brontë Country calendars and photographs. [...]

Brontë Bitch is presenting a range of illustrations inspired by the Brontës. The designs, together with quotes from the sisters’ classic works, feature on tote bags and greetings cards and are also available on T-shirts. [...]

The Old School Room, located between Haworth Parish Church and the Parsonage Museum, is synonymous with the Brontës.

Opened in 1832, it was built by Patrick Brontë and the whole family taught there.

The building is now managed by a small charity made-up of local people. (Alistair Shand)

PopSugar includes Wuthering Heights 1939 on a list of 'Autumnal Amazon Prime Movies'.

Set in the misty moors of England, the haunting tale of Cathy and Heathcliff has everything a good fall movie needs: drama, romance, and (of course) ghosts. The 1939 adaptation of Emily Brontë's novel of the same name features Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon as the passionate pair. (Sarah Felbin)

People's World mentions Merle Oberon too in an article about Boris Karloff:

While Boris was born 1887 in London, his parentage was a mixture of British and Indian, so that Karloff was actually a mixed-race person, although the public was not explicitly made aware of this (like Merle Oberon of 1939’s Wuthering Heights, by the way). (Ed Rampell)

The Irish Times discusses intellectual property:

Until recently no name for this stuff was bandied in everyday conversation. The phrase “intellectual property” has been around since the 18th century, but, for most of its existence, it has been the preserve of lawyers and deal-makers. Wuthering Heights was once intellectual property. Gone With the Wind was as valuable as intellectual property gets. Only m’ learned friends would, however, have described them as such. The term was certainly not common enough to require abbreviation. Now, every fan site and every nerd blog is familiar with the concept of “IP”. How could it be otherwise? (Donald Clarke)

El Mundo's Yo Dona (Spain) asks several women from the cultural world about the book that shaped them.

Nata Moreno. Director, Productora, Actriz y Dramaturga

"No es una pregunta fácil. Soy una gran lectora, y la verdad es que hay muchos libros que me han tocado el corazón. Pero si me pongo romántica tengo que decir que hay uno muy simbólico, no tanto por la grandeza del libro, que por supuesto la tiene, sino por lo que significó en mí como llave para atreverme yo también a crear, a escribir. Es 'Cumbres borrascosas' de Emily Brontë. El libro se publicó en 1847 y ella murió en el 48, con 30 años. Casi todo el tiempo escribió a escondidas y con pseudónimo, así que cuando leí la novela me hizo pensar mucho en el permiso que esta mujer se había dado y de alguna forma propició que yo me diese permiso también para, mucho tiempo después y con más libertad, atreverme a crear". (Silvia Nieto) (Translation)

Finally, Brixton Blog features sisters Uzma and Ambreen Hameed whose  two-novel series, Undying

has been dubbed “The Brontë Sisters meet Four Lions” by award-winning chorographer and director Wayne McGregor. (Charlotte Latimer)

The Sisters' Room has published part 2 of its series 'Gentleman Jack and the Brontës', with special attention to Anne Lister and Emily Brontë.
