Three cheers to the Brontë Society

 Another review (3 out of 5 stars) of Jane Hair in The Reviews Hub:

There are a lot of ideas wuthering around in this short play, and the production seems too small to contain them all, or do them all justice. The basic premise is both ingenious and very funny, and the ethos of the story stays stubbornly, delightfully rooted in sight of Penistone Crag. Only if the Brontë sisters were waitresses at Betty’s could the play have a more authentic grounding. Three cheers to the Brontë Society for funding this latest exploration of the Haworth literary dynasty. (Jim Gillespie)

OiCanadian and La Croix (Belgium) review the album by Cécile McLorin Salvant, Ghost Song: 

I’m so cold, let me come to your window,” he sings Cecile McLorin Salvant. They are some verses of “Wuthering Heights” (Wuthering Heights), the song by Kate Bush that takes its title from the novel by Emily Brontë. McLorin Salvant read extensively, during the pandemic, the Brontë sisters. (Tammy Sewill)

Elle enchaîne d’une voix aérienne avec une reprise de « Wuthering Heights » de Kate Bush, inspiré du roman d’Emily Brontë, qu’elle a relu pendant le confinement. Ces personnages tourmentés, cette exaltation des sentiments, entre passion et violence, ont nourri les compositions originales de Ghost Song, évocation des fantômes que chacun porte en soi, des amours perdues, du désir évanoui et de la nostalgie face au temps qui passe. (Cécile Jaurès) (Translation)

The best countryside holidays in Country Living:

Explore the magnificent Yorkshire Dales
The Yorkshire Dales have inspired countless artists and writers, perhaps most famously the Brontë sisters, with Emily Brontë’s iconic novel Wuthering Heights set among the wilderness of the moors. You'll explore all this with Country Living on a five-day walking holiday in April, August and October, staying in the charming market town of Skipton and chugging through inspirational landscapes on old steam trains.  (Roshina Jowaheer and Alex McFadyen) 

Torbay Weekly wonders if life shouldn't have trigger warnings too:

Apparently, the University of Salford issue trigger warnings for Great Expectations and Jane Eyre while the University of Northampton warn about George Orwell’s 1984.
I would not pretend to compare my bereavement with the experience of students who have suffered abuse or domestic violence. Reading can open up old wounds.
What makes some literature great is how it does reflect real life. Dickens worked as a journalist and had seen these problems at first hand. Luckily there were no workhouses in Torbay when I was working but there was poverty and crime. There was also domestic violence.
I did not have to deal with a mad woman in the attic as Jane Eyre did, but I did come across serious mental health problems which were metaphorically put in the attic. And some of the patient’s stories in real life would have been too far fetched to put in a novel. (Peter Moore)

The Telegraph & Argus reviews An Evening Without Kate Bush:

We howled with the Hounds of Love, sang along to Rubberband Girl and swayed our arms to Wuthering Heights. There is a lovely sense of ownership with this show - she makes you feel part of it. In a good way.

I don't care for audience participation (who does??) so there was a moment of terror when Sarah-Louise wafted past my row to pick some backing vocalists for Cloudbusting. "They're just glad it's not them," she said, as two people joined her on stage and the rest of us basked in quiet relief. The backing vocalists - "Heathcliff and Cathy" - ended up having fun with a Kate wig. (Emma Clayton)

ABC (Paraguay) traces an interesting parallel between the videogame Assassin's Creed and the paintings of John Martin:

La antigua guerra que la orden de los templarios y la hermandad de los asesinos libra en diferentes lugares y épocas es el tema central de los videojuegos de la franquicia Assassin’s Creed. No es raro, por ello, que desde la primera entrega, del 2007, hasta la más reciente, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, del 2020, uno de los puntos fuertes de la saga sea el realismo en la reconstrucción de escenarios históricos. También para el pintor inglés del siglo XIX John Martin ese realismo fue un factor de éxito, y tan bien se vendían las reproducciones de sus cuadros que era difícil no encontrarlas en todas partes –de hecho, las hermanas Brontë crecieron con una copia de su Festín de Baltasar colgada en una pared de la casa paterna. (Julián Sorel) (Translation)

El Periódico interviews the writer Virginia Feito: 

Núria Navarro: Los cuentos se los leía su padre, el economista y diplomático José Luis Feito.

V.F.: Volvía tarde del trabajo y nos contaba a cada uno de los tres hermanos una historia distinta. A mí me relataba historias de niñas que se escondían en barcos que iban hacia el Nilo y descubrían misterios. Mi padre y yo compartimos afinidad por la literatura gótica y victoriana. Las Brontë, Wilkie Collins, Dickens... A los 11 o 12 años leí 'David Copperfield'. (Translation)

Il Corriere Della Sera (Italy) lists Wide Sargasso Sea in a gender-equality selection:

Ricordate Bertha Mason, la moglie nascosta di Rochester, protagonista maschile del romanzo di Charlotte Brontë Jane Eyre? Quella immaginata da Jean Rhys circa un secolo dopo è la sua versione della storia. Quella di una donna che prima di finire rinchiusa nella soffitta del palazzo del marito è stata rinchiusa in una prigione ben più dura: la completa dipendenza da Rochester, che con il matrimonio ha acquisito tutti i suoi beni e non le ha lasciato più nessuna libertà. Questo romanzo, già a suo tempo considerato femminista, descrive una delle trappole (quella della dipendenza dal partner) che ostacolano la parità e per questo, secondo me, è una delle lezioni più forti sul tema. (Chiara Severgnini and Irene Soave) (Translation)

Milenio (México) quotes from Wuthering Heights 1939 in an article about the war in Ukraine, but we have been unable to find it in the original screenplay:

“Hay tanto negocio en la destrucción como en la construcción”. Como la recuerdo la cita es de Heathcliff, el protagonista de Wuthering Heights (Cumbres Borrascosas) el inmortal drama de amor desgraciado escrito en 1847 por Emily Brontë. Hacia el final de la versión cinematográfica de 1939, en el centro de un páramo helado y desbastado por el odio y la violencia, el atormentado personaje (interpretado por Laurence Oliver) reflexiona ante el trágico destino de su adorada Cathy (Merle Oberon).  (César Romero) (Translation)

A Books Quiz in the Irish Times contains a couple of Brontë-related questions. Plaza Radio (in Spanish) publishes the podcast La Plaza de las Letras where, among other things, they discuss Wuthering Heights and the Brontës' pseudonyms. L'Occhio Notizie (Italy) lists quotes about prejudices including one by Charlotte Brontë. Yorkshire Live lists a 'stunning Wuthering Heights home' that could be yours for just 2m pounds.
