It makes me happy when I’m in London at the same time as an Emma Rice production. This trip it was her adaptation of Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights” at the National Theater: a 19th-century classic warmed with music and breathed to life as if it had taken as its cue something Charlotte Brontë once wrote about the novel: that it “was hewn in a wild workshop, with simple tools, out of homely materials.”The moor is a kind of Greek chorus in the play, while the storytelling is nimble and full of fun; Katy Owen is comic perfection as Little Linton, the pampered princeling of Wuthering Heights. But when Catherine (Lucy McCormick) dies and Heathcliff (Ash Hunter) cries, “Catherine Earnshaw, haunt me!,” his jagged grief rips through us, straight to the soul. (Laura Collins-Hughes)
Are you a Emily Bronte’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ fan or are you just a book lover looking for a modern-day palace? Or maybe you’re neither of those things and are just someone looking to own a castle for a home.Look no further than this sprawling, English-style estate in Bellaire on the market for $2,686,000.
As a child, I used to hide behind the sofa and pretend to be a radio telling stories. And I used to make books with my sisters. I have two sisters and we’re very close in age and were very close growing up. When I read about the Brontë siblings as a teenager I thought, that's what we were like. We used to live in these imaginary world that we would make books and genealogies. (Brenda McCormick)
The pair first meet outside the school gates, when Ali, always with time to spare, is picking up a friend’s child from school in a rainstorm. Determined not to let even a stranger wait for a bus in the rain, he offers Ava a lift. This stormy start might recall the art of foreshadowing of another Yorkshire native, Charlotte Brontë, but Ali and Ava’s love affair defies this pathetic fallacy and is more often quietly joyful than desperately despairing. (Clara Bradbury-Rance)
The “feminine” phase, from the period of 1840s to the 1880s concerns women writers like George Eliot, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, and many others who wrote in an era of male-dominant literature, where anything produced by women was not taken seriously. One can understand the need to imitate in such a patriarchal culture in order to be heard. (Poulomi Chandra)
Jane EyreL’eccezionalità di un’eroina come Jane Eyre sta nel modo in cui Charlotte Brontë ce la presenta rispetto alle convenzioni letterarie del periodo: non è bella e in aperto conflitto con le altre figure maschili del romanzo. Soprattutto, Jane non ha paura di esprimere il proprio pensiero in un contesto storico dove le donne venivano perlopiù raccontate come arrendevoli e rassegnate al loro destino. Jane usa la dialettica, così come l’ironia, e anche quando presa dalle passioni più intense non è mai succube delle propria emotività. Il suo amore per Edward è sincero, talora tormentato, ma non per questo è disposta a calpestare la propria rettitudine, la propria coerenza rispetto ai valori in cui crede. Jane Eyre insegue la libertà, la propria indipendenza, ma restando sempre fedele a se stessa. La sua resistenza davanti agli ostacoli, ai dolori, alle rinunce che la vita le mette davanti, non sconfina mai nel piangersi addosso.Anche nelle situazioni più impervie, Jane sa sempre come affrontare il proprio destino.Torta d’avenaIngredienti per 4 persone200 g di fiocchi d’avena160 g di latte di soia100 g di malto di riso150 g di farina di farro integrale3 cucchiai di marmellata di mirtillisale e cannella4 cucchiai di zucchero di cannaPreparazioneIn una ciotola mescolate gli ingredienti secchi.
