'Each beam once supported the very floor beneath the feet of the Brontë family'

BBC News has an article on the initiative of the Brontë Birthplace of selling slices off discarded beams in order to raise funds.

Timbers from the childhood home of the Brontë family are to be sold off to raise funds for its restoration.

Thin sections of beam taken from the parlour ceiling where Charlotte, Emily, Anne and their brother Bramwell [sic] were all born, have been valued at £250 a piece.

Money raised from the sale will fund ongoing conservation work at the property in Market Street, Thornton, which opened to the public for the first time earlier this year.

A total of 240 fragments of the beams have been framed, using museum-quality art glass.

Each of the slices has been given holographic authentication and a register of ownership will also be kept.

Brontë Birthplace, the community organisation responsible for renovating the property, said each piece would be a "timeless keepsake from the very place where the Brontë story began".

Fundraising co-ordinator Nigel West said: "This is a limited edition. We do not anticipate any further major works in our lifetime, and you can take the opportunity to own this little slice of history, secure in the knowledge that removal was completely necessary to ensure the safety of the building.

"Dating back over 200 years, each beam once supported the very floor beneath the feet of the Brontë family." (David Spereall)

'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Brontë

Another centuries-old entry in the enemies-to-lovers canon, Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 novel starts with governess Jane arriving at Thornfield Hall and initially finding her employer, Mr. Rochester, unbearably scornful and arrogant. As time goes by, however, they find themselves falling for one another—though their love story won’t be a straightforward one, thanks to Mr. Rochester’s big secret. (Andrea Park)

Early Bird Books shares '10 Classic Books Made Big Again on TikTok' and one of them seems to be

Wuthering Heights

By Emily Bronte

If you have been scrolling on TikTok in recent weeks, perhaps you’ve come across the trailer to Emerald Fennell’s reimaging of Wuthering Heights, set against a remix of “Everything is Romantic” by Charli XCX. 

Although many of us are apprehensive about this heralded classic, there is always the source material to fall back on. The story centers on the recounting of the passionate love affair between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. 

Told with raw emotional intensity, the reader, much like the central character, relives the tragedy in a work that has remained influential since its publication in 1847. (Lola Bosa)

We'd rather credit the actual film than people reacting to it on TikTok.

The Gauntlet has an article on 'Kate Bush and her continued relevance'.

“Wuthering Heights” is named after the 1847 novel of the same title by Emily Brontë. It had a similar resurgence in protest to the creation of the new and controversial Wuthering Heights adaptation, which was deemed inaccurate to the original plot of the novel by fans; especially in comparison to the emotion in Kate Bush’s song.
