Warner Bros has announced the release date of Sex Education star Emma Mackey's new movie Emily.The biopic covering the early life of iconic novelist and poet Emily Brontë will be coming out on October 14, 2022. (Shaun Wren)
She’s best known, of course, as the author of “Wide Sargasso Sea” (1966), a postcolonial prequel to Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre.” Told from the point of view of Antoinette Cosway, Mr. Rochester’s Creole wife, the novel draws on Rhys’s own childhood on the Caribbean island of Dominica.That novel was published when Rhys was 76, after the literary world had largely forgotten her. Readers raced to catch up. [...]Rhys had a uniquely lonely intelligence, and a talent for facing hard truths. If all you know of her is “Wide Sargasso Sea,” this book will encourage you to branch out. That’s nearly — almost, maybe — worth the price of admission. (Dwight Garner)
And then I won the very first Papermill Playhouse Rising Star Award, which is like the Tony Awards of New Jersey for high schools. Then I didn't do my senior show, because part of winning it is that Papermill had me do a straight play called "Jane Eyre." Anne Hathaway was my understudy. (Jim Munson)

Eminent Behn scholar Professor Elaine Hobby agrees, adding: "Without Behn, we wouldn’t have Mary Shelley, Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë and other great writers; Behn gave other women the power to believe they could publish and succeed." (Lydia Chantler-Hicks)
