Wuthering HeightsDirected by Andrea ArnoldAndrea Arnold created a sensory marvel in Wuthering Heights. Her attention to the minutiae of life—the textures, sounds, and feel of the Victorian moorland—is astonishing and beautiful. Films have two senses at their disposal, but Arnold’s rural northern England is so richly drawn and lush a depiction it manages to evoke senses that film can’t possibly entertain—we can nearly feel the damp in the fabric, nearly smell the game birds hanging from the rafters, and nearly taste the blood on Heathcliff’s back. Arnold has rescued the best book of the Brontë sisters from the sentimentality of those who misread Romanticism as romance. Wuthering Heights is an unflinching portrayal of intimate cruelty, exactly as it should be. (Dave Robson)
Cuando de publicar una novela se trataba, en ocasiones se vieron forzadas a recurrir a un seudónimo masculino. Así, Charlotte Brontë, tuvo que publicar Jane Eyre bajo el nombre de Currer Bell; su hermana Emily se disfrazó de Ellis Bell para que Cumbres borrascosas viera la luz. (Jaime Cedillo) (Translation)
2. "Jane Eyre", de Charlotte Brontë"Jane Eyre" é o romance de estreia da consagrada escritora inglesa Charlotte Brontë. Conta a história de vida da heroína que dá nome ao livro. "Jane Eyre" quebra paradigmas e critica a realidade vitoriana da época. A protagonista desafia o destino imposto às mulheres e as posições sociais que elas deveriam ocupar.

Her latest achievement sees her adaptation of Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall announced as a major part of the Sydney Theatre Company’s 2022 Act 2 Season at the main stage Roslyn Packer Theatre for its world premiere. [...]Emme’s whip-smart adaptation of the lesser-known but brilliant Brontë sister’s novel takes inspiration from the lush beauty of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s irreverent hit television series Fleabag.“From the very beginning I knew I wanted to do something very big and with scope, I wanted to write something that would sit on the Roslyn Packer stage,” Emme says. “Why not aim for the stars, have a huge cast and huge ambition. It was a story I was really passionate about telling and the story came very fully formed.“I studied the Brontë sisters in my undergraduate degree and this was so different from the other sisters’ work. The novel was a massive hit at the time but was withdrawn from publication, because it was so dark and sad and vulgar. It was called the first realist novel.”The Rosyln Packer theatre in Sydney’s Walsh Bay, across the road from the STC’s Wharf Theatre, has seen fellow NIDA alumni tread its boards including Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Richard Roxburgh, and has hosted illustrious international theatre companies including Peter Brook’s Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Berlin’s Schaubühne and the National Theatre of Great Britain, among others. Playing the lead role in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall will be a NIDA BFA (Acting) alumna, Tuuli Narkle.
24. What Souls Are Made Of by Tasha SuriMacmillan, Shekhar BhatiaRelease date: July 5What it's about: After being abandoned by his father, a Lascar (a sailor from India), Heathcliff has spent most of his time being treated as an outsider. Now living in the Yorkshire moors, and treated poorly, he finds solace with Catherine, the younger child of the estate's owner. The pair spend more time together, connecting over his missing father and her mother that no one speaks of, until the death of Catherine's father, which brings the household treatment of Heathcliff to a disastrous peak. This remix of Wuthering Heights is an epic piece of historical fiction, and a testament to Suri's incredible storytelling skills. (Rachel Strolle)
Wuthering Heights by Emily BrontëThis year, it’s the author taking the spotlight in Emily, a new Warner Brothers film scheduled for release in late 2022. The film imagines Emily Brontë’s young life, documenting a young girl transforming into the world’s most famous, enigmatic and provocative writers, before she died, aged 30. Who other, then, to bring this literary pioneer to life than Sex Education rebel Emma Mackey. (Eliz Akdeniz)
Amelia Opie died in Norwich, aged 84, on December 2, 1853. By this time her work already appears to be regarded as outdated. One obituary writer concedes that Amelia’s novels were once “cherished and wept over, as moving and truthful,” but were now considered “to be poor as regards invention, slight in manner and unreal in sentiment” in comparison with the work of later novelists like Charlotte Brontë and Elizabeth Gaskell.

The first song is a stunning, ethereal cover of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights; the last, Salvant’s take on English folk song The Unquiet Grave. (Kadish Morris)
Kate Bush’s first single, ‘Wuthering Heights’, is everything you would want from a debut: a shimmering pop song that stemmed from the writings of England’s most accomplished writer, gifting the novel new life in a decade that was all about reform and rebirth. It showed Bush’s talents as a melodist, and it showed an understanding of the regiment, romance and ridicule that had long been the foundations of her native Britain. (Eoghan Lyng)
Jane Eyre – Charlotte BrontëTorniamo ai grandi classici della letteratura, questa volta con Charlotte Brontë. Jane Eyre è un romanzo di formazione scritto nel 1847 che racconta la storia della giovane Jane, un’orfana di umili origini che viene accolta presso i parenti dopo la morte dei genitori. La nuova famiglia purtroppo non tratta Jane nel migliore dei modi, ma la ragazza ha un carattere forte e deciso e riesce comunque ad eccellere negli studi diventando poi una stimata insegnante. La vita di Jane prosegue tra mille difficolta. Anche quando sembra finalmente aver trovato pace e felicità al fianco di Mr Rochester, proprio il giorno delle loro nozze, un terribile segreto la costringe ad abbandonare la tenuta di la dimora di Thornfield Hall. Nonostante tutte le vicissitudini il romanzo ha comunque un inaspettato lieto fine. (Marzia Ramella) (Translation)
En el poema "Mujeres de los siglos me habitan", la escritora Gioconda Belli imaginaba a la bailarina Isadora Duncan, a las escritoras Virginia Woolf y Jane Eyre, y a sus propias amigas, todas juntas "espantando lo viejo del tiempo, escribiéndose a sí mismas, sacudiendo las sombras". (Jazmín Bazán) (Translation)
Molly-Mae Hague, the 22-year-old Love Island star, has joined the legions of reality stars before her (Charlotte Crosby, Joey Essex, Pete Bennett, the Kardashians) in announcing her first book, set to be released with Penguin this summer. Titled Becoming Molly-Mae, an apparently unconscious nod to Michelle Obama’s New York Times bestselling 2018 memoir, it will cover “the moments, relationships and life lessons that have made her who she is. From the energetic child who loved Irish dancing and pageants, to the teenager holding down a job at Boots whilst building her dreams at fashion school, her journey to Love Island and how she copes with fame today.”As fans of Hague’s vlogs and Instagram stories will know, she does not appear to be an avid reader, nor writer, preferring hauls of cleaning products and Balenciaga shoes to the collected works of the Brontë sisters. (Poppie Platt)
Dickens wasn’t the only celebrated writer to reference negus. Jane Austen also used the drink as a prop in two of her novels, “Mansfield Park” and “The Watsons.” And Charlotte Brontë also gave a proper shut-out to negus in “Jane Eyre.” (Laurie Wilson)
