Ruined by fly-tipping

Yorkshire Live has an article on how the beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire moors is being ruined by fly-tipping.

It is one of West Yorkshire's most spectacular drives.

But the A6033 between Hebden Bridge and Oxenhope has been blighted by persistent fly-tipping. YorkshireLive reporter Dave Himelfield drove the four-mile moorland stretch and found it ruined by large-scale, illegal tipping. Here he shares his frustrating experience.

I'm heading north out of Peckett Well, an outlying village of Hebden Bridge. I pass the last house and I'm surrounded by open heather moorland. This is the way into Brontë Country, the bleakly beautiful landscape that inspired Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. [...]

here's another stopping place before Oxenhope where you look right into Brontë Country. The Brontë Waterfall and Top Withens are a couple of miles in front of you although there's a hill in the way. It has a bin but it's overflowing and looking down from the hardstanding onto the rough grass below are empty compost bags and a paint tin.

Maybe 15 years ago this was a drive to lift the spirits. Now it does the opposite and I couldn't wait to get off the main road. (Dave Himelfield)

That's terribly sad.

Berkeleyside features the Berkeley Central Works production of Escape from the Asylum.

In writing this play, author Milton investigated Victorian women’s lack of freedom and civil rights. They easily fell prey to accusations of “hysteria” or “deviance,” which could quickly lead to institutionalization. And even Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is reexamined with 21st century eyes since Rochester’s first wife is imprisoned in the attic. The playwright gives her forward-thinking women characters just the right number of feminist quips to make their points without seeming didactic. (Emily S. Mendel)

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

We're calling it, Jane Eyre is the superior of the Brontë romance variety. While we still hold a special spot for Wuthering Heights produced by Charlotte's sister Emily, it's this gothic masterpiece, with its relentless heroine, dashing love interest Mr. Rochester and creepy manor house in the English country side that goes straight to the top of our list.

14. What Souls Are Made Of by Tasha Suri

Release date: July 5

What it's about: Notable adult fantasy author (The Jasmine Throne) Suri makes her YA debut with a twist on Wuthering Heights that reimagines Heathcliff as the abandoned son of an Indian sailor, perpetually ostracized for his identity among the British of the Yorkshire moors tasked with raising him. Our Catherine is the youngest daughter of the estate owner, perpetually being groomed for high society and marriage...a target that is trickier for Catherine than most in her station, given the "shameful" secret of her mother. And so Catherine and Heathcliff find solace in each other and their similarities, until her father dies and Heathcliff is all but thrown to the wolves. Can their love survive if staying with him means Catherine loses everything? (Dahlia Adler)
