Sentences you might have heard in Haworth

The Yale Review has an article on Hilary Mantel highlighting her originality.

Writing in the London Review of Books about abdominal surgery in middle age, she notes that her spiral-stitched wound makes her look like a manuscript, and she comically compares herself to a fading young Brontë sister: “Over the next hours, days, nurses speak to each other in swift acronyms, or else form sentences you might have heard in Haworth: ‘Her lungs are filling up.’” (Brian Dillon)

EMILY - 14 Oct

Acclaimed actor Frances O’Connor makes her directorial debut with this biopic of much-loved author Emily Bronte, here played by Emma Mackey. Early word has been nothing short of spectacular. (Rory Cashin)

The New York Times features actor and comedian Suzy Nakamura.

8. The Morgan and British Libraries I like when you can see manuscripts or pieces of paper. In the British Library, you can see Jane Austen’s writing desk. In the Morgan, you can see the Brontë sisters’ tiny, tiny, tiny writing. It connects me to the writers and humanizes them. Charles Dickens is sort of like a god, but to see something that makes him accessible is just so thrilling to me. (Kathryn Shattuck)

LOL with Hilary Rose in The Times:

I’m jealous of the jewellery designer Theo Fennell, who joins the pantheon of people with memorable school reports. One of his apparently read, “Fennell’s nose and the grindstone have again not met this year,” putting his report up there in my estimation with Charlotte Brontë’s (”she writes indifferently”), Gary Lineker’s (“devote less time to sport if you want to be a success”) and Jilly Cooper’s (“Jilly set herself an extremely low standard, which she failed to maintain”).

The Chronicle (Duke University) discusses the use of school.

Thus, school teaches you how to think. Not what to think, but how to think. Do I wish that more people were aware that the capital of Canada is Ottawa, not Vancouver, or that Charlotte Brontë, not Emily Brontë, wrote Jane Eyre? Of course, I’d love if America’s level of general knowledge of literature, history, or just about the world was more proficient, but I do not think that it is equivalent to trashing the entire education system.

Fashion and literature in Harper's Bazaar (Italy).

Quando uno scrittore riesce a far viaggiare in mondi paralleli i suoi lettori, e a farli affezionare ai personaggi raccontati tra le pagine, tanto da generare nostalgia quando un libro finisce, ha raggiunto un obiettivo non da poco. Se poi addirittura gli stessi personaggi di fantasia arrivano a ispirare gli abiti delle collezioni di moda in tutto il mondo, la missione e' davvero compiuta. Le sorelle Brontë, Mary Shelley, Virginia Woolf, Oscar Wilde sono solo alcuni fra gli autori che sono riusciti a creare dei personaggi che hanno ispirato decine di designer di moda per le proprie collezioni.
