GRACE POOL [sic]

I’ve always wanted to know more about Grace Pool, the woman Edward Rochester drove to drink while he romanced Jane Eyre. (Annika Barranti Klein)

Yesterday's Thursday quiz in The Guardian included a Brontë-related question:

7.LITERATURE: The Brontë sisters, along with their brother Branwell, wrote extensively when they were young about a fictional world. What was it called?

Glass Town

Peladon

Pellucidar

Lilliput

(Martin Belam)

A contributor to Daily Trojan claims that,

I will be the first to say that any book written before the 2000s declared a “classic” is bound to have more than one questionable thing about it, but we’ll get into the problems I have with “Jane Eyre” at a later time. (Myriam Alcala)

Perhaps the problem lies not with the books but with the people (mis)reading them after that date?

Still, Publishers Weekly announces a forthcoming YA release along the same lines scheduled for autumn 2022:

Escaping Mr. Rochester by L.L. McKinney, a reimagining of Charlotte Brontë’s novel in which Jane Eyre and Bertha Mason—Mr. Rochester’s wife—must save each other from the horrifying machinations of Mr. Rochester (Shannon Maughan)

In The Guardian, Isobel Campbell pays tribute to her collaborator Mark Lanegan.

You were my Heathcliff, my fantasy.
