Squeezing out new meanings

My Journal Courier has some recommendations for checking out at the local library:

"Taylor Swift by the Book: The Literature Behind the Lyrics, From Fairy Tales to Tortured Poets" by Rachel Feder: Let a literature professor and a musical theater artist guide you through the Taylor Swift canon — from Shakespeare to the Brontë sisters to Daphne du Maurier. (Angela Bauer)

The University of Maryland's College of Computer Mathematical & Natural Sciences presents one of its Ph.D. students. Luis Suarez:

Luis Suarez has a soft spot for the classics. He loves philosophy but won’t read past the 19th century. He enjoys literature but prefers the likes of Goethe, Brontë and Dante (Alighieri of “The Divine Comedy,” that is) over King and Koontz. (...)

Suarez discovered philosophy by way of literature and math by way of physics. A lover of classic literature, Suarez has read “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Brontë at least once a year since his high school graduation 15 years ago. He has read it in both English and Spanish, squeezing out new meaning each time.

Jane Eyre – Charlotte Brontë (1847)

The Brontës surely did not invent pining over someone you love but between Emily’s Wuthering Heights and Charlotte’s Jane Eyre, we are not sure anymore. The story revolves around Governess Jane who has overcome a troubled childhood and now working for Mr. Rochester. The novel features a strong and independent female protagonist who will give you a new way to fight for feminism. The mutual attraction between the two lead characters spikes as time goes by, making Jane wonder what other secrets Mr. Rochester is hiding at Thornfield Hill. The story is written from Jane’s pov that will help you, as a reader, make a deeper connection with her. The backdrop of the novel is set in a gothic castle with elements and an atmosphere of mystery, compelling the readers not to stop reading any time they pick up the story.

The Telegraph & Argus talks about Sally Wainwright's TV dramas:

For To Walk Invisible, her film about the Bronte siblings, Sally had a replica of Haworth’s Bronte Parsonage, churchyard and neighbouring school built for the set. And the fourth series of Last Tango in Halifax saw Sir Derek Jacobi working at the checkout in Booths in Ilkley. (Emma Clayton)

FandomWire summarizes Ruth Wilson's career and, of course, her Jane Eyre is on the list:

Jane Eyre (2006)

Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel received a four-part miniseries treatment from BBC. Ruth Wilson played the titular character in 2006’s Jane Eyre, which is generally considered a successful adaptation. It was her breakout role and the actress shines as an orphaned young woman who navigates life’s hardships. The series also shows her complicated romance with Toby Stephens’ Edward Rochester.

The performance of the actress caught the viewer’s attention mainly through her understated expressions, which perfectly conveyed the character’s feelings. It was truly the career-defining role for Wilson and earned her several nominations for TV awards.

Susanna White, known to modern-day fans for directing episodes of Andor, directed this classic adaptation from a script by Sandy Welch. The miniseries also starred Georgie Henley, Tara Fitzgerald, and Christina Cole. (Hashim)

Jagran highlights the wonders of reading claiming that:

For example, we can't talk about fiction books without taking Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights as top examples, they are not only famous in the world of book lovers, but have also been successful in leaving their mark on the whole literary culture. (Ashmeet Guiliani)

Yardbarker thinks that Wide Sargasso Sea deserves a blockbuster adaptation: 

Even though Jane Eyre has been adapted many times to the screen, the same cannot be said of Wide Sargasso Sea, which tells the haunting story of Antoinette Cossway, the woman who would marry Mr. Rochester and be renamed Bertha. It has been adapted twice to the screen, once for film and once for TV, but it could be argued that neither really does justice to the source material. Given the extent to which the novel is intersectional in its storytelling — drawing attention to Antoinette’s Creole identity and her exploitation at Rochester’s hands — a new film version would certainly speak to the politics of the present.  (Thomas West)

PopSugar gives you a list of the best classic books for your bookshelf: 

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Like her sister, Emily Brontë wrote one of the most enduring and iconic novels of the 19th century, portraying the tragic love story of Heathcliff and Cathy set against the blustery, grim backdrop of the moors.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

"Jane Eyre," first published in 1847 England, was far ahead of its time in its critiques of classism and sexism. Considered a proto-feminist novel, it follows a girl into adulthood, her lust for her employer, and the tragic end of that employer's first wife, whom he keeps trapped in the attic. (Emma Glassman-Hughes)

Cosmopolitan (Spain) recommends Wuthering Heights:

La única obra de Emily Brontë relata de manera exquisita la turbulenta y fascinante historia de amor entre Catherine y Heathcliff en un entorno único. "Un libro fascinante con una historia oscura, en un entorno melancólico, frío y neblinoso. Una trama cargada de odio y de amor, de dureza, enfermedad y venganza. Sus personajes son redondos y muy profundos, con emociones encontradas, con mucha fuerza, con una conexión increíble entre ellos". Así lo describe una lectora y no podemos estar más de acuerdo. (Marieta Taibo) (Translation)

Vox Populi Noticias (México) also recommends the novel for Valentine's Day. 

Il Manifesto (Italy) reviews Anjet Daanje's Het lied van ooievaar en dromedaris:

Nel suo «Il canto della cicogna e del dromedario» Anjet Daanje segue due protagoniste disegnate a immagine di Charlotte e Emily Brontë, in un romanzo che da biografico diviene via via inclassificabile, congetturale, infedele: da Neri Pozza. (...)

È abbastanza evidente, per esempio,  come la scrittrice olandese Anjet Daanje – che  ha dichiarato di aver costruito i personaggi del suo romanzo Il canto della cicogna e del dromedario (traduzione di Laura Pignatti, Neri Pozza, pp. 736, € 23,00) a immagine di Charlotte e Emily Brontë – abbia a lungo riflettuto su come riprendendo un classico letterario – in questo caso Cime Tempestose – un romanzo possa alimentarsi più delle parole che ne restano fuori, che di quelle visibili sul testo: «Julia non riusciva a capire per quale motivo si sforzassero di scrivere racconti così meravigliosi se poi nessuno li avrebbe letti. (Antonio De Sortis) (Translation)

IG's@Booktoob.livres highlights Jane Eyre: "A gothic masterpiece of tempestuous passions and dark secrets" and Substack's Notes Under a Fig Tree also recommends it. On Substack's Love of Literature we find a review of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall which questions her alleged feminism. A couple of Emily Brontë quotes on InStyle's list of deep love phrases. Finally, The Brontë Sisters YouTube channel talks about Martha Brown's role in the Brontë story.
