“Glass, Irony & God”The six pieces in Carson’s second collection are clear, sharp, splintered, and luminous. It includes her single most arresting poem, “The Glass Essay,” a chilly, desolate account of the end of a love affair, told by a speaker who believes that she is “turning into Emily Brontë / my lonely life around me like a moor, / my ungainly body stumping over the mud flats with a look of transformation / that dies when I come in the kitchen door.” The poem’s anguished meditations on love’s savagery and isolation are designed to draw blood.

Brontë Parsonage in HaworthLiterary types, you need to head to Haworth. Here, with stunning views of the Yorkshire moors, is the home where the Brontë sisters – Charlotte, Emily and Anne – wrote their novels including Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. It’s now a museum displaying the world’s largest collection of bits and bobs from their lives. Think: handwritten manuscripts and first drafts of novels, but also the more delightfully mundane, such as pebbles collected by Anne, locks of the family’s hair, and Emily’s christening mug.The chance to journey back in time and pretend that you, too, are a Brontë sister, doesn’t end with the house and museum. The Brontë Society, which looks after the parsonage, will happily hand over maps for walks among the moors, so you can quite literally follow in their footsteps. Walk into Haworth town to find the Brontës’ birthplace and the church where the family, except for Anne, is buried. (Ellen C Scott)
One of the most memorable moments from my senior semester of college was seeing Emerald Fennel’s “Wuthering Heights.” I watched it on Valentine’s Day at Silverspot Cinema with my sister and six of her friends, and I liked it way more than I should have.Ever since I was little, I remember hearing, “The book is always better than the movie.” Up until I saw “Wuthering Heights,” I used to believe it too.When I read Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights” my sophomore summer, I remember feeling underwhelmed. In my Apple Books review, I gave it three stars; I had hoped that book would shake my soul, and it did not. That was really sad for me, given how much I had enjoyed her sisters’ works — Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre” and Anne Brontë’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.”The week after watching the newest adaptation of Wuthering Heights was really stressful for me. It pained me to admit to all my friends that I had enjoyed the 2026 film more than the 19th century tome. I mean, I really loved it. I was sobbing so hard that people were turning around and pointing. I wasn’t the only one — a couple other girls in my row were similarly shaken. I won’t name names, but you know who you are.When it came out, the “Wuthering Heights” adaptation was very controversial. Some described it as “hollow,” while others said it was worse for Emily Brontë than tuberculosis. Most critics had at least one thing to say: it’s nothing like the book.The thing is, definitives are hard. Saying a book is “always” better than the movie is both false and highly unproductive. It’s a kind of snobbery; people who say this either want to feel smart, or they want to make you feel stupid. To me, preferences and absolutes should not be allowed in the same room. [...]After watching “Wuthering Heights,” I went around to all my friends saying it was probably the best movie I’d ever watched and I really believed it at the time. Now, I see that my reaction had a lot to do with how my life looked last spring. I’m putting off rewatching it, because I’m scared I won’t like it as much the second time.Knowing our preferences aren’t fixed or absolute, it can be hard to make choices. How can you know what you’ll want in three months? 10 years? You’re asked to decide things now which are permanent — even when you know your preferences are fleeting. (Anna Garziera)
Cathy and Heathcliff from Wuthering HeightsMargot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have made doomed romance look extraordinarily glamorous in Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights. Think extravagant period gowns, romantic corsetry, dark tailoring and a suitably brooding expression. The perfect couples costume for those who appreciate a little gothic drama, and a thoroughly dysfunctional love story.
Fielding's eclectic collection of jumpers has become a staple of the beloved Channel 4 baking show, and in Tuesday night's episode (October 20) he rocked a blue knit depicting a series of women in red dresses dancing around the moors.The design is by Australian-based label Wah-Wah, as part of its collaboration with award-winning artist Tara Booth, in homage to musical icon Kate Bush.Noel has a history of paying tribute to the British singer, whose debut single 'Wuthering Heights' – inspired by the Emily Brontë novel of the same name, which was of course also adapted for the big screen this year – topped the UK chart in 1978, when the song-writer was just 19 years old.As part of the BBC's Let's Dance for Comic Relief, which aired back in 2011, Noel Fielding took to the stage to perform his own rendition of Kate Bush's hit song, referencing her iconic music video – more specifically, the second version, which saw the singer wearing the floaty red dress, dancing among woodland.

De La Bête aux Fauvettes, l’album dessine un cheminement très personnel. Il débute dans un monde qui heurte le poète, traverse la mélancolie et le temps, avant de trouver dans la poésie une forme de refuge. Éric Cazorla y évoque également Emily Brontë et pose, avec Le Dogme, les valeurs qui nourrissent son écriture. "Cet album de poésies est un dogme où je liste les valeurs que j’épouse et celles que je délaisse", explique-t-il. (Translation)
