Shawline Publishing presents a novel (
Red Winter Journey) set in Haworth which is amongst the contenders in this year's Best Indie Book Awards:
Often coined Brontë country, Haworth is one of Yorkshire's most famous villages and attracts visitors from all over the world all year round. Famous for being home of the beloved Brontë family and the backdrop for many of their novels, literary fans flock there in their thousands!
Haworth is an undisputed literary mecca and Paul Rushworth-Brown may continue this tradition having written two novels, Red Winter Journey and Skulduggery set in and around the famous village.
With its historic cobbled Main Street, iconic parsonage and rolling moors, the picturesque proportions of this Airedale village exude a vintage charm that makes you feel you've stepped into another era.
GMA News Network publishes interviews with the cast and creators of the upcoming
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series. In the interview with the showrunner and creator, Patrick McKay he says:
Janet Susan R. Nepales: Talk about the challenges of writing this dialogue and using religious text and poetry in doing it.
Patrick McKay: J.D. and I have an enormous love for language. We both very much come from a place of loving reading and loving the history of literature. Part of what's wonderful about Tolkien's work is it's this grand imaginative world, but it's also steeped in the literary tradition of the UK. You feel Milton in there, you feel of the Brontë's in there. The opportunity to write period dialogue was something we were really happy to take on.
Outlook India discusses the writer Ismat Chughtai and is a bit unfair with the Brontës:
While India bestowed her with honours like the Padma Shri, Pakistan consciously disregarded her – Lihaaf being a vital reason for the same. For a woman as magnificent as Chughtai, modern women in the subcontinent were never really exposed to her feminist literature, as they remained blissfully smitten either with Hindi cinema’s slender and submissive heroines or Austen’s and Brontë’s lovelorn women.

Compuesta cuando Kate Bush tenía 18 años, esta canción es su primer éxito comercial y de crítica. La génesis de su composición muestra muy bien una parte del proceso creativo de Bush, quien siempre reafirmó su talento para contar historias en sus canciones: la escribió primero bajo el influjo de una serie de televisión británica inspirada en la obra de Emily Brontë. Luego, conmovida, Bush leyó la novela y confirmó su fascinación con esa historia de amor desbordado. Es un tema con atmósfera gótica y con una instrumentación más convencional, mucho antes de que la artista descubriera los sintetizadores. (David Martínez Houghton) (Translation)
Kate Bush’s first single was the dramatic ballad “Wuthering Heights.” Written at the tender age of eighteen, it was composed in March 1977 and then released a year later in 1978. It made her the first woman in British chart history to reach number one with a self-penned track.
Many people assume Bush wrote the song after reading the book by Emily Brontë. This was not the case, as she took inspiration from the television adaptation. Created by the British Broadcasting Corporation, it was on screens in 1978. Only after watching this did Bush write the song, then finish off the novel. (Carl Jackson)
