Where Jackie enjoys a full English breakfast

The full English breakfast origin story on Slurrp:

“I came down as soon as I thought there was a prospect of breakfast,” Jane Eyre’s eponymous heroine says, declaring her unabashed love for the English breakfast in Charlotte Bronte’s novel back in 1847. This, and many such references to the ‘bonafide threat to good cardiovascular health dish’ can be spotted through the history of English literature. After all, a full English breakfast has remained the centrepiece of British gastronomic culture for over 500 years. 

Western Australia Today talks about the genius of Taylor Swift, according to some scholars:

And then there is the moment when Mr Rochester finally admits his love for Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre:

“I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you – especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame.”

Jane Eyre begins with a lonely young girl, who sees herself as an outsider, sitting in a window seat reading a book. For generations, literature has been a resource for teenagers seeking solace amid heartbreak and the confusion of adolescence. Taylor Swift has become their 21st-century voice. (Jonathan Tate)

The Hamilton Spectator presents the biography of the entrepreneur Sam Mercanti, Risen from the Shop  Floor:

Family permeates this book, as one imagines it would, the Mercantis being who they are, and with Sam’s siblings (Peter, the late Morris Mercanti and Rose) being so accomplished, the Mercanti name also being so closely associated with such Hamilton successes as the Carmen’s Group and C Hotel through Peter, who has also done a book — could the Mercantis be turning themselves into a writing dynasty like the Brontë sisters? Smiley face — “It All Started With Lasagna.” (Jeff Mahoney)

The New York Times reviews Messalina: Empress, Adulteress, Libertine: The Story of the Most Notorious Woman of the Roman World, by Honor Cargill-Martin:

In “Jane Eyre,” Mr. Rochester dismisses his first wife as an “Indian Messalina.” (Timothy Farrington)

Also in the NYT a brief review of Camera Girl. The Coming of Age of Jackie Bouvier by Carl Sferrazza Anthony:

As a tonic to the coarseness of Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, I have been escaping to the cultured world of Jacqueline Bouvier in the period when Jack was diffidently courting her. (Never a Heathcliff type, Jack sometimes treated her, as Jackie once told Gore Vidal, as though she were a campaign asset, like Rhode Island.) (Maureen Dowd)

The Sunday Times reviews Bee Gees: Children of the World by Bob Stanley:

 This upbringing, the book suggests, resulted in a curious fraternal insularity Robin would later compare to the Brontës, something almost otherworldly. (Victoria Segal)

NRK (Norway) explores what young women are reading:

På BookTok går det mye i «chick-lit». Bokhandler er nå fulle av pastellfargede bøker med fortellinger om fiender som forelsker seg, eller barndomsvenner som finner kjærligheten. Det er ikke min favorittsjanger, men jeg blir likevel litt glad når jeg ser en gruppe jenter samle seg rundt disse bøkene, oppspilt over hvilken de skal sluke denne uka.

De diskuterer tematikken i stor litteratur som Jane Austen eller Brontë-søstrene det ene øyeblikket, for så å dåne over drømmemannen i en lyserosa romantisk komedie de har lest det neste. (Helene Asphaug) (Translation)

Spark Chronicles recommends books and series after watching Queen Charlotte:

Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte: A passionate and tragic love story set on the wild moors of 19th century England. An unforgettable novel for those who love intense and painful love stories.

La Nueva España (Spain) describes the music of Cécile McLorin Salvant:

De los tiempos del covid se trajo una obsesión por Proust y Emily Brönte (sic), por "En busca del tiempo perdido" y "Cumbres Borrascosas",  (Chus Neira) (Translation)

Cultture (Spain) explores the best soundtracks by Ryuichi Sakamoto:

 Conocida por suponer el debut cinematográfico de Ralph Fiennes, la adaptación de 1992 de Cumbres borrascosas de Emily Brontë cuenta con una de las partituras más místicas, encantadoras y espiritualmente expresivas de Sakamoto. Las persistentes flautas y las campanadas barridas por el viento son dulces y románticas, pero dejan entrever un pozo de oscuridad que refleja la naturaleza cruel e implacable de Heathcliff.

Aunque esta versión de Cumbres Borrascosas puede que no sea la mejor versión absoluta de la desgarradora película romántica en términos de adaptaciones fieles, tiene posiblemente la mejor y más memorable banda sonora de cualquier versión cinematográfica hasta la fecha. La maestría de Sakamoto a la hora de crear ambientes de una escena a otra es insuperable, creando una montaña rusa de emociones que captan los altibajos de los personajes. (Translation)

Télérama looks into the best songs of Depeche Mode:

Un temps, Depeche Mode fut rangé parmi les garçons coiffeurs. Gore, une fois encore chanteur, aurait été plus à sa place dans un cimetière en ruine, non loin de Hurlevent. (Louis-Julien Nicolaou) (Translation)

Today's blunder comes from El Nuevo Diario (Dominican Republic) attributing Wuthering Heights to no other than Jane Austen.
