5. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

'Jane Eyre' is a compelling story of resilience, independence, and love. From her harsh childhood to her passionate romance with Mr. Rochester, Jane’s journey is one of self-respect and determination. Brontë’s gothic elements and richly drawn characters make this novel a timeless favourite, impossible to put down once you start. (...)

9. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

A tale of intense passion and revenge, 'Wuthering Heights' is unlike any other love story. Set on the desolate Yorkshire moors, the novel follows the destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Emily Brontë’s atmospheric writing and complex characters make this gothic masterpiece an addictive read that’s impossible to forget. (Girish Shukla)

Vulture interviews Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes who reminisce about her first collaboration in: 

Peter Kosminsky’s critically maligned 1992 adaptation of Wuthering Heights, as the star-crossed Cathy and Heathcliff. (...)

Rachel Handler: Tell me about the first time you met and what you remember about your first impressions of the other.

Ralph Fiennes: I remember we were brought together by Ileen Maisel and Mary Selway, the two producers of Wuthering Heights, and director Peter Kosminsky. It was in a room in Mayfair and we read together. I was in awe of her, because I’d seen you in Unbearable Lightness of Being. I was very excited and a bit fluttery. (...)

Juliette Binoche.: And we went on a journey of Wuthering Heights. It was a difficult shoot.

R.F.: It was difficult.

J.B.: It was six days shooting per week and I was playing two roles, a mother and a daughter.

R.F.: Is that the first time you were performing in English?

J.B.: No, but it was the first time that I had to transform my accent to British, and in a month and a half. I moved to Yorkshire and all of that.

R.F.: Also there were reasons that perhaps there’s no point unearthing, but the production was not entirely coherent. The way it was being run was a bit tricky.

R.H.: How so?

R.F.: It was being produced by what was then British Paramount. If you look at the book, it’s a brutal love story, and Heathcliff is a brutal figure. He’s not romantic. It’s traumatic, it’s full of shadows and darkness, and stuff that’s quite ugly. Which makes it rich. We both wanted that to be in the film, and we could feel the forces of production and the studio wanting something more “marketable.” But it is the first and only film that shows Cathy’s story and then the daughter’s story; all the other Wuthering Heights adaptations tend to focus just on Heathcliff and Cathy. (...)

R.H.: Now that you’ve made your third movie together, The Return, what’s your favorite scene you’ve filmed together?

J.B.: If I may pick one of each? In Wuthering Heights, we were toward the end of shooting and we couldn’t bear working on the film anymore. I felt I was on the verge of losing it. And I could feel Ralph going, Don’t do that. Don’t go there.

R.F.: On Wuthering Heights, you lost it in a way that was great and brilliant. There were marks on the floor, and your frustration came out: You kicked this wooden mark with colored tape on it. And you said, “I hate limits.” I never forgot that. I thought, That’s what I want to be. 

Great British Life lists things you can do in Haworth this Christmas. Plenty of them, of course:

The very best way to start your day in Haworth is to walk on the moors. It’s good for the soul. Whether you delight in trekking for hours, or just want to go a short way and breathe in some Yorkshire air before breakfast, there’s routes to suit everyone. If the weather is wild and wuthering, then you’ve hit the jackpot, as that’s just how the Brontës describe it in their writing. If it’s beautiful sunshine (we get more sun than you might think!), then you’re also a winner. One thing is for sure, the dramatic scenery will never let you down. (...)

A visit to the The Brontë Parsonage Museum is a must. The former home of the famous literary family now houses the world’s largest collection of Brontë works. (...)

After, head back to Main Street to Tap & Tonic or The Cloth Store for a drink, followed by dinner at The Old Post Office; recently restored with lots of nods to its former use as the Post Office where the Brontës posted their manuscripts from. (Josie Price)

The Sunday Times reviews the biography The Secret History of Kate Bush by Fred Vermorel:

 Her rangy, theatrical voice is a force of nature; her lush, layered self-productions are works of art. She’s an intellectual who writes songs about literature, such as her 1978 debut single Wuthering Heights, and a wildly physical performer (she trained in dance, mime and, weirdly, karate). And she inspires obsession: every year people around the world gather in red dresses to pay mass tribute to the Wuthering Heights video. (Sarah Ditum)

Also in The Sunday Times a discussion on the current and upcoming hot trends:

All hail the nu-goth

(...) And a slate of other gothic projects are in the works for next year: see Victorian Psycho, a thriller set in an isolated mansion in the 1850s about a governess played by Margaret Qualley, while Wuthering Heights is getting the Emerald Fennell treatment, with Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. This Barbie would like to wear black, please. (Priya Elan)
