Nestled within the Yorkshire countryside, Haworth was the former residence of the Brontë sisters: Charlotte, Emily and Anne, whose surrounding moorlands provided inspiration for Emily's novel Wuthering Heights. Their ancestral home has been converted into a museum, cementing Haworth's status as an essential stop for enthusiasts of English literature. (Christopher Megrath)
4. HathersageHathersage has strong literary connections - having inspired Charlotte Brontë while she was writing Jane Eyre. The nearby North Lees Hall (pictured here) also became the main inspiration for Thornfield Hall. (Tom Hardwick)
Where did this book even come from? “The novel started out as my thesis during my MFA at Cornell,” the author explains. “I had this idea of a girl and her brother, this sibling relationship, which is at the heart of the novel. The dynamics of this family and the relationship between the siblings, and the roots of all of that, was also something I was interested in very early on. I read Jane Eyre for the first time in graduate school (late, I know!) and soon after that I read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, and I was mind-blown. The Gothic as a vehicle for the story of this family started to appeal to me early on, this picture of a house that’s no longer able to hold its secrets, and the novel grew from there.“Jane Eyre and Rebecca both play with things that are revealed and the things that are kept hidden, both from the characters and from the reader. I was also very fascinated by black Gothic, with books like Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Octavia Butler’s Kindred, and a lot of Buchi Emecheta’s work, like Second Class Citizen, which plays with the idea of not just physical confinement but psychological confinement within systems. Add to that the burden of innocence on a character when human beings and circumstances conspire to paint you guilty or deprive you of a voice.” (Neil Nyren)
Swift subverts the classic "scorned woman" trope by recounting these wrongs, not with vengeful rage, but with calm, chilling clarity. "When the fever turns a dreamer into a pathetic ghost / If he's killing you, I see you, I was patient zero," she sings in the song's final lines.She's like Bertha Mason in the attic, warning Jane Eyre of Mr. Rochester's evil, or Rebecca, hovering like a wraith over her murderous husband's estate; she's the woman who haunts the narrative long after she's gone.

André AcimanTranslated by Julia Osuna AguilarEdiciones AlfaguaraSeptember 2026En estas cuatro novelas cortas, André Aciman explora las incertidumbres, los deseos y los equívocos del amor. En «El caballero del Perú», unos amigos conocen en un hotel de la costa amalfitana a un misterioso huésped cuya presencia lo cambia todo. «Habitación frente al mar» narra el diálogo entre dos desconocidos que se encuentran en un juicio y comienzan una relación ambigua. «Mariana» reimagina un célebre relato del siglo XVII sobre la pasión entre una monja y un aristócrata inconstante. En «Polizones», un correo inesperado revela a Julian la existencia de una vida y un amor secretos que ignoraba por completo.Sutil, melancólico y profundamente conmovedor, Idilio ilumina ese espacio incierto donde conviven el amor, el recuerdo y la esperanza. Una celebración de los encuentros que nos transforman y de las emociones que persisten mucho después de que todo haya terminado.
Un abogado, una psicóloga y una larga espera para saber si son elegidos para formar parte de un jurado popular. No se conocen de nada, pero un ejemplar de 'Cumbres borrascosas' les sirve para romper el hielo. Comienzan a hablar para matar el tiempo y descubren todo aquello que tienen en común. En ambos casos, una pareja con la que llevan años y cuya relación muestra claros síntomas de erosión. Así que, encontrarse con alguien con quien estás cómodo y que te invita a hablar y a escuchar es quizá lo mejor que te puede suceder cuando no te queda otro remedio que esperar durante largas horas (días) hasta que otros tomen la decisión. 'Habitación frente al mar' es uno de los cuatro relatos que forman parte de 'Idilio', volumen en el que André Aciman describe otras tantas historias de amores imposibles y relaciones que se afianzan.

Garden designer Brian Roberts has won an award for an amazing garden inspired by Wuthering Heights and the moorland landscapes of Brontë country.Brian, who runs Patterned Earth in Netherton, took a little piece of Yorkshire to the prestigious Belvoir Castle Flower & Garden Show in Leicestershire.His show garden called Weathering Heights won the Duchess of Rutland Cup after being named winner of the show’s Border Competition.The garden took its inspiration from the exposed landscapes of the Yorkshire uplands: dry-stone walls, moorland planting and the way plants and wildlife respond to sometimes unforgiving conditions.At its heart is a dry-stone wall that creates contrasting microclimates, with cooler, shaded and more sheltered conditions on one side and warmer, nectar-rich planting on the other. Gaps within the wall allow insects and other wildlife to move through the garden.Brian said: “I wanted to take a little piece of the landscape I know and love in Yorkshire to Belvoir.“The moors, dry-stone walls and plants that somehow thrive in quite unforgiving conditions have always fascinated me.“Weathering Heights was a playful nod to Wuthering Heights, of course, but the ‘weathering’ was important too. (Martin Shaw)
Although the relationship between siblings is not the sole focus of the novel, the work presents multiple models of family relationships. It highlights the impact of cruelty and deprivation on human character, contrasted with the need for love and belonging. (Medhat Elsheikh)
Paula Rego: Visions of English Literature explores three of the acclaimed Portuguese-British artist's most ambitious and profound series of prints, inspired by nursery rhymes, JM Barrie's Peter Pan and Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. (...)From menacing creatures etched into life from children's nursery rhymes to near hallucinatory depictions of Neverland from Peter Pan and the power-based, tumultuous relationships Brontë described in Jane Eyre, Rego's prints tell stories which combine fantasy and imagination, innocence and cruelty, to explore the complexities of life in all its strangeness and mystery.
No visit to the Peaks would be complete without a stop at the village of Hathersage, home to a heated open-air pool. It’s an idyllic spot with a literary legacy; its rugged landscapes inspired Jane Eyre (there’s even a Jane Eyre walking trail), and you can visit the alleged grave of Little John, Robin Hood’s second-in-command, whose “little” moniker is actually an old-school dad joke in reference to his colossal height. (Jake Hall)

An exhibition at the birthplace will delve into the building’s past, tracing its journey through a butcher’s shop, visitor attraction, café, and a community-owned heritage site.Thomas Haigh, vice chair and marketing and audience development lead at the Brontë Birthplace, said: "While the Brontë Birthplace will always be significant for being the first home of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell, we know it enjoyed a rich history after their departure."We want to share this 200-year story with our visitors as well as showcase the challenges, discoveries, and community effort behind the restoration and how this remarkable building continues to evolve and serve a new generation of visitors."The exhibition will feature photographs, plans, memories, and other artefacts that reveal the many lives of the building since the Brontë family lived there.A free walking tour of Thornton will also be offered as part of the Heritage Open Days programme.Led by local historian and Brontë family expert Paul Crossley, the two-hour tour will begin at the birthplace and take visitors to key sites including the Brontë Bell Chapel ruins, Kipping House, South Square Centre, and the village’s historic snickets and ginnels.The tour concludes at the Brontë Birthplace, where visitors can enjoy the café, browse the gift shop, or book a house tour. (...)The Brontë Birthplace exhibition will be open from 11am to 4pm on Sunday, September 13, with Mr Haigh available to answer questions from visitors.The walking tour will take place on Saturday, September 19, starting at 11am.Both events are free to attend. (Harry Williams)
Perhaps the production's most distinctive feature is its ensemble-led approach.Rather than relying solely on Jane to narrate her own story, the entire company shares responsibility for carrying her voice throughout the performance.It is an imaginative theatrical device that preserves the novel's first-person perspective while embracing the collaborative nature of live theatre.
However, having returned to it again, it has been a really good read and one that was unexpectedly so, delivering with its dialogue and its quirkiness as well as educating me a lot more about Charlotte Brontë.Sara is a research student whose specialism is Charlotte Brontë and in life, she is pretty certain that she knows where it's heading: she's going to get married to Paul and honeymoon in Paris and then, she's going to continue her research study and find undiscovered letters written by Charlotte which will propel her into the academic stratosphere.

Olivia Marcus and Gabriel Akuwudike will lead the cast of a new touring production of Jane Eyre, directed by 2025 Royal Theatrical Support Trust Sir Peter Hall Director Award winner Lily Dyble.The production, based on Sally Cookson, Mike Akers and the original company’s adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s novel, will premiere at Mercury Theatre Colchester from 26 September to 10 October 2026 before touring to Rose Theatre Kingston, Northern Stage in Newcastle and Storyhouse in Chester. (...)The creative team includes set designer Anna Yates, costume designer Khadija Raza, movement director Natasha Harrison, lighting designer Lucía Sánchez Roldán, composer and sound designer Joseff Harris, fight director Rachid Sabitri, intimacy director Haruka Kuroda and casting director Helena Palmer.Dyble said: “What is at the very heart of Jane Eyre is courage in the face of the unknown. I’m thrilled to be delivering this story to audiences with bravery and risk, made possible by this phenomenal cast and creative team.” (Alex Wood)
The purple, treeless moors found across Britain’s uplands can look timeless and wild. In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë described “the purple moors” as “a wilderness of heath”. Yet these moors have been shaped by clearance, drainage, grazing, pollution and burning.Peat records from Keighley Moor in West Yorkshire, not far from Brontë country, reveal a longer story. For most of the past 1,000 years, this landscape would have been much wetter, with abundant peat-forming Sphagnum moss, rather than today’s extensive heather-dominated vegetation created through rotational burning. (Joe Glentworth)
Anna Calder-Marshall as Cathy Earnshaw, ‘Wuthering Heights’ - 1970Wuthering Heights has been subjected to adaptations that are good, bad, and highly controversial, but none of them has been as dull and uninspired as the 1970 version directed by Robert Fuest.While Timothy Dalton does have the stoic, stony gravitas needed to play Heathcliff, there’s little he can do when paired with Anna Calder-Marshall’s take on Cathy Earnshaw. This is a literary character known for her unbridled passion, venomous rage, and repressed sexuality, but Calder-Marshall depicts her as a soapy hero only defined by the tragedy that the story concludes with.Even if the G-rated version was not going to go to the extremities seen in the Andrea Arnold and Emerald Fennell versions of the story, it still needed to be interesting as a romantic drama. Sadly, Calder-Marshall doesn’t even have a dose of chemistry with Dalton. (Liam Gaughan)
Jean Rhys, 136 años después: la escritora que rescató a una mujer recluida en un ático de Jane Eyre.Se cumplen 136 años de su nacimiento, una efeméride que devuelve la atención a la autora que convirtió a una figura secundaria de la literatura victoriana en protagonista de su propia historia (...)Sin embargo, su mayor reconocimiento llegó décadas después con Ancho mar de los Sargazos, publicada en 1966, tras un largo periodo apartada de la escena literaria. Un ejemplo de cómo los años de pausa o alejados de la actividad literaria más visible no implican un alejamiento del verdadero oficio del escritor.La obra dialoga directamente con Jane Eyre, el clásico que Charlotte Brontë publicó en 1847. Rhys recuperó a Bertha Mason, la esposa criolla de Rochester recluida en el ático, y reconstruyó su historia como Antoinette Cosway. El cambio de perspectiva permite abordar el pasado colonial caribeño, la identidad y las relaciones de poder que atraviesan al personaje. (Carmen Tomàs) (Translation)
Jane EyreEnero tiene algo de comienzo. Después de las fiestas, muchas personas sienten la necesidad de ordenar su vida, cerrar ciclos y pensar qué quieren hacer diferente durante el nuevo año. Por eso, Jane Eyre puede ser una lectura especialmente atractiva para inaugurar el calendario.La novela de Charlotte Brontë sigue a Jane, una joven que atraviesa pérdidas, dificultades y relaciones complejas mientras intenta construir una vida en la que pueda conservar su independencia y dignidad. No es solamente una historia de amor: también habla de identidad, autonomía y de la búsqueda de un lugar propio.Es un libro ideal para quien quiere empezar el año con una historia intensa y clásica, pero que todavía puede sentirse sorprendentemente moderna en sus preguntas sobre libertad y decisiones personales.Si naciste en enero, este podría ser tu libro: una historia sobre empezar de nuevo sin renunciar a quién eres. (Ciria Alarcón) (Translation)

by Anjet DaanjeTranslated from the Dutch by David McKayMacMillan PublishersISBN: 9780374620615August 2026A thrilling literary puzzle that explores the haunted life and mysterious afterlifes of a writer and her work.Who was Eliza May Drayden? Is she just the quiet, intensely private person she seems to all the world in her little village of Bridge Fowling in the shadow of the West Yorkshire hills—or is there more to her than meets the eye? It is only after her death that Haeger Mass, her one book—a dark and cryptic novel—assumes a life of its own. In each new chapter of this literary treasure hunt that spans almost three hundred years, we see the conundrum through the eyes of a new generation of characters, each providing competing and interlocking versions of the life—and cursed vision—of this Emily Brontë–like figure. Scholars immerse themselves in the mystery of her life and are led to ruin; the curse that hangs over her comes to visit a young couple; a mysterious diary emerges with her strange and indecipherable poetry and sketches. Elements and symbols repeat in relentless and varying combinations from one story to the next as the years pass: as if the truth at the center of her work is fighting to break free.The Song of Stork and Dromedary is a philosophical puzzle that unfolds with the exuberance of a historical romp, ingeniously pivoting from Gothic horror to quantum mechanics to memento mori. In this thrilling, recursive tale, Anjet Daanje gets to the frantically beating heart of why we tell stories, and how we try to create meaning with them in a world filled with brutality and death. Daanje has crafted a conundrum that is as diabolical as it is heartbreaking. When we finally open the box that contains the secret behind the life of Eliza May Drayden, what will we see there—a vision of heaven or a vision of hell?

Three leaders of Reform-led councils in West Yorkshire and Lancashire are united in their opposition to a giant windfarm which a company hopes to build on Calderdale moorland.Calderdale Energy Park (CEP) plans to put 34 giant wind turbines on Walshaw Moor, which is located between Hebden Bridge and Haworth, the village associated with the Bronte sisters.The company says the turbines will generate enough low carbon electricity to power 198,000 homes a year.But the proposals have met with strong resistance from campaigners concerned about potential damage to peatland and loss of moorland habitat which is home to birds.The Government’s Energy Secretary – currently Miatta Fahnbulleh – will ultimately decide whether or not this controversial application is given the green light. (...)Councillors Dan Sutherland, the leader of Calderdale Council, Stephen Place, leader of Bradford Council, and Stephen Atkinson, leader of Lancashire County Council, met at Halifax Town Hall to discuss and set out their concerns.By responding to the Calderdale Energy Park proposal collectively, they hope to amplify concerns about the plans – which have also been made by campaigners and residents – not just regionally but nationally. (...)Another factor causing alarm was the impact on the heritage associated with the moorland.“The Brontes’ work is of global significance,” said Coun Sutherland.The final outcome might come down to the Brontë moors – or the Calderdale Energy Park, he said. (...)Coun Place said: “We don’t think it’s been widely enough known in the Bradford area, which is why we’re keen to get involved with this.“It’s just something we have got to make the public aware of.“The Brontës’ works are cherished and protected peatland could be severely affected,” he said. (John Greenwood)
It's certainly disturbing to link together in the same phrase Reform Party and the Brontës. But here we are.
It's much, much better to associate the Brontës with solidarity initiatives like this one that happened in Haworth. In Keighley News:
More than 200 people took part in a new charity walk through Brontë country.The first-ever Brontë Pub Walk started in Haworth and wound through Stanbury, Ponden and the outskirts of Oakworth, finishing on Haworth’s Main Street.Walkers followed in the footsteps of the famous literary sisters while raising funds for Sue Ryder’s palliative and end-of-life care services.Routes of five and 10 miles were available, with pub stops along the way.Adam Brunksill, regional fundraising team manager at Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, said: "We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who took part in our very first Brontë Pub Walk and helped make it such a special day."It was fantastic to see people enjoying the beautiful countryside, visiting some of the places connected to the Brontë family and, of course, stopping for a well-earned drink or two along the way. (...)he walk passed by the Brontë Parsonage Museum and St Michael and All Angels’ Church, where several members of the Brontë family are buried. (Francis Redwood)
Brontë Sister House Party, a comedy that’s equal parts literary feminism and Christopher Durang-style surrealism, feels like it was expressly written for Nu Sass Productions. (...)Nu Sass co-founder and artistic director Aubri O’Connor plays Jane Eyre author Charlotte Brontë in House Party. Her performance as a neurotic people-pleaser who lives (well, “lives”) in hope that a Belgian professor who inspired characters in at least three of her novels will at last show up for this interminable soirée is one of the best reasons to attend.Written in 2021, this clever provocation comes to us from playwright Courtney Bailey. Bailey holds a Ph.D. in English literature from Baylor University, but her premise is far from academic: We are all the invited guests of the three literary Brontë ladies, none of whom lived to see 40, now sentenced to entertain us in some otherworldly bardo until their jailer decides they (we?) have reached The Point of Celebratory Reverence. Our hosts have little guidance on exactly how they might achieve this ecstatic state. Their only clue is a game show-style chime that rewards them whenever they do something to indicate that they’re fun-loving and sociable and not just a trio of introspective and invariably miserable writers. (..)Her characters are not all of equal interest, and the performances animating them are variable. Director Kathleen Barth struggles to keep the pace of all this clever existential chitchat sufficiently caffeinated, as evidenced by the fact that a play with a published (and ideal) run time of 90 minutes to two hours stretches out, intermission included, to two and a half. Still, it’s a fun night out, and one that might inspire you to brush up on your Brontë bibliography. (Chris Klimek)
Rather than asking one performer to carry the weight of Charlotte Brontë's first-person narration, co-book writer and co-director John Caird has transformed the ensemble into Jane's collective voice.It is a deceptively simple idea, but one that completely changes how audiences experience the story.For Caird, the challenge was never to recreate the novel word for word.Instead, the goal was to preserve what makes Jane Eyre special while allowing theatre to do what theatre does best.A novel allows readers inside Jane's thoughts for hundreds of pages. On stage, those inner emotions must become action, performance and music.Sharing Jane's narration across the company preserves Charlotte Brontë's first-person perspective while creating something that feels inherently theatrical. (...)One decision that particularly impressed us was the production's commitment to casting genuine young performers as Young Jane and Adèle.Rather than asking adults to portray childhood, Emily-Rose Samuel and Poppy Jason bring an authenticity to the opening chapters of Jane's journey that helps establish the emotional foundation for everything that follows.It is a reminder that Jane's resilience isn't born overnight—it begins with the experiences that shape her from childhood.
1. HathersageHathersage has strong literary connections - having inspired Charlotte Brontë while she was writing Jane Eyre. The nearby North Lees Hall (pictured here) also became the main inspiration for Thornfield Hall. The Grave of Little John, Robin Hood’s second-in-command, can be found at St. Michael’s Church in the heart of Hathersage. While there is little evidence proving he is buried here, ballads suggest that he originated from Hathersage and settled there again later in his life. (Tom Hardwicke)
The Wives of Herrick Hall by Julie LewIn 1799, a disgraced young woman becomes the companion to a Lady in the isolated Herrick Hall. Lady Blake suffers from nightly visions of her impending death, and Herrick Hall is haunted by its previous mistresses. If you’ve longed for a sapphic take on Rebecca or Jane Eyre, and if you like ghosts, family secrets, curses, and forbidden love, this is perfect for your TBR.
A haunting prequel to Jane Eyre, imagining the life of Mr. Rochester's 'madwoman in the attic' before her confinement, a Creole heiress in postcolonial Jamaica. Rhys writes with lush, feverish intensity, turning a footnote of Victorian fiction into a devastating meditation on colonialism, identity, and erasure. Essential, and far richer than its source material. (Simran Sukhnani)
In 1876, Publishers Weekly asked booksellers to identify their most saleable novels. [Blanche Willis Howard’s] One Summer ranked below Dinah Mulock Craik’s John Halifax and Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre but ahead of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
Más figuras literarias surgidas en Yorkshire han acabado en la pantalla. Por ejemplo, la pareja de Cumbres Borrascosas. Su escritora, Emily Brontë ambientó la obra en su paisaje natal, el parque nacional de Yorkshire Dales. Sus páramos cubiertos de brezos, entre verdes oscuro y púrpuras, según incida la luz de un sol casi siempre plomizo, aportan tenebrismo al relato. Y pasan a ser un protagonista más en la reciente cinta protagonizada por un tempestuoso Jacob Elordi y una Margot Robbie, tan hermosa como tóxica. (Armando Cerra) (Translation)
The New York Times Midi Crossword (August 21, 2026) contains a Brontë question: "Jane, in a Brontë novel".
Thursday, August 20, 2026
At first, the concept makes good use of actors trying to act mirthful, a feat even more difficult to pull off convincingly onstage than in real life. In time, the irony fades, and the audience—who is, for some reason, also in the void with the sisters—must endure the Brontës’ fumbling efforts to achieve a measure of self-acceptance. (...)It doesn’t help that the cast’s vain efforts to engage the audience seem pitched for a bigger space (or for overpowering the steady drone of the air-conditioning), making us feel even more like befuddled trespassers in the afterlife. Add a general grasp of character that rarely moves past stereotype and directorial composition that gets more muddled as the play gets more crowded and suddenly everything is being forced, not just the fun.Granted, [Courtney] Bailey’s script—aiming for feminist critique by way of a postmodern, madcap mash-up—gives the company many confusing cues to sift through, including when it comes to the author’s thesis. The sisters indulge their angry, mediocre brother, a poster boy for toxic masculinity if there ever was one, and yet the authors’ famous characters are there mostly to flagellate them for not writing work that was feminist enough. Internalized misogyny is at play throughout, as one character bluntly states, but that’s a hard problem to unpack thoughtfully when the sisters’ punishment already seems wildly harsh and when their salvation has a lot more to do with “being their true selves” than it does with the plight of women as a whole. (Jared Strange)
Following the acclaimed arrival of her English translation debut, The Remembered Soldier, a National Book Award finalist, Anjet Daanje’s latest novel, The Song of the Stork and Dromedary, is yet another psychological puzzle, enveloping readers in a mystifying literary haze that persists until the novel’s final pages. Drawing on the lives of the Brontë sisters, Daanje weaves macabre imagery, dubious diaries, scattered letters, and a series of vignettes into a story spanning nearly 300 years. The result is a sprawling meditation on death, sisterhood, and the mysteries that refuse to be buried.Opening the novel in late 18th-century England, Daanje wastes no time linking the novel to the esteemed Brontë sisters, primarily Emily, whose life is mirrored by the cryptic Eliza May Drayden. The Drayden sisters not only write Victorian Gothic novels but also echo the Brontës in their sisterly bonds, childhood-born imaginary worlds, and encounters with illness, all of which lie at the heart of the narrative. Blankly gazing at the corpse of yet another sister, six-year-old Eliza asks, “Is God hungry?”, initiating the novel’s lengthy exploration of death. Along this ghastly thread, readers follow eleven primary profiles—including biographer Agnes Chambers, Emery Niles, and several pairs of fated sisters—whose lives are all influenced in some manner by Eliza Drayden and her novel Haeger Mass, a heavily criticized Gothic tale in the vein of Wuthering Heights. These episodes are interspersed with diary entries, notes, and poems that gradually fill in the gaps of the enigma that surrounds Eliza far beyond the grave. (Brock Covington)
Ignore the haters – I fell in love with Scarborough all over again, from Anne Brontë’s grave to fish and chips, cheap arcades to seaside tat. (...)Standing in a quiet corner of St Mary's Church in Scarborough, I gaze at the gravestone of Anne Brontë, who died in this North Yorkshire seaside resort in 1849 aged just 29. The peaceful spot overlooks South Bay, where pavements are heaving with day trippers.Nowadays, visitors flock to Scarborough for fish and chips and, of course, the beaches.But Anne came to Scarborough when it was rising in popularity in the 1800s, although its famous spa waters were discovered earlier, in 1626, marking the creation of the UK's first seaside resort. (Alesia Fiddler)
Elizabeth is wheeled out in the backyard in a wheelchair, looking very sick and frail, but still happy to see her family. She hands her husband Ted (Max Greenfield) a copy of the book she had been reading, Jane Eyre, with a note on it to him, “You’ll have to tell me how it ends.” They both understand this to mean that Elizabeth only has a few weeks, maybe even just a few days, left to live. (Anna Menta)
Love her or hate her, Emerald Fennell can make a steamy movie. Wuthering Heights is a little more of a reimagining than an adaptation, taking quite a few liberties with the text, but It puts the romantic and sexual dynamics right at the forefront of the story.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë (1847)Emerald Fennell’s 2026 adaptation has sparked outrage among the book’s lovers and (hopefully) interest among those whose introduction to Emily Brontë’s 1847 masterpiece came through the movie. The movie, with its stunning visuals and a subdued storyline, strips away much of the original story—including the entirety of the second generation of Linton, Heathcliff, and Earnshaw children—and leaves much to be discovered in the pages of the book.Brontë’s novel has romance, certainly, but also includes tension caused by race and class. Heathcliff as a character is both sympathetic and abhorrent. His status as an outsider causes him to be abused at the hands of Hindley. Yet, his own cruelty toward Isabella and toward the offspring of Edgar Linton and Hindley Earnshaw, enemies he wishes to take revenge upon, cannot be overlooked.Catherine Earnshaw, Heathcliff’s equal, also defies expectations of the heroines in most romance novels. She is cruel, selfish, and temperamental; her hold over Heathcliff, and their inability to be together, is the central conflict in the story. Cathy proclaims, “I am Heathcliff,” a statement both romantic and terrifying, inviting the reader to understand the depth of their passion for and obsession with each other. Their love is far from healthy, and that is one of the most compelling aspects of the book.Ultimately, the ‘love story’ the reader has been expecting throughout the tale happens in its third act, as the younger generation puts an end to the cycle of violence and abuse. A story centred around human emotion that does not shy away from its ugliness and destructiveness, Wuthering Heights deserves a read for both its romantic aspects and its exploration of human behaviour. (Samanata Shrestha)
The renewed fascination with dollhouses isn’t just playing out online; it’s influencing pop culture. Emerald Fennell notably added a dollhouse to her film, Wuthering Heights, a 1:12-scale replica of Thrushcross Grange (Brontë devotees will know there is no dollhouse mentioned in the 1847 novel). The scaled replica featured prominently in Architectural Digest’s tour of the film’s set with its star, Margot Robbie, and production designer, Suzie Davies, who showed viewers its perfectly scaled Regency rooms. (Madeline Weinfield)
Shanti Nilayam (1969) borrowed the unsettling mysterious elements of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. (Suganthy Krishnamachari)
Nuestra Emily Brontë es Carmen Laforet. Voy a ir una semana a Tenerife y decido leer “La isla y los demonios” de Laforet, que se desarrolla en Gran Canaria, pero habla de Tenerife. Dice que los demonios son las pasiones humanas, que son mucho más de siete. Y las pasiones constituyen a las personas y ayudan a conocerlas. Y forman parte de su vitalidad profunda, de su abismo. Lo mismo ocurría en “Cumbres borrascosas” y en las obras de Shakespeare. (...)[Nada] tenía una fuerza sorprendente en una novelista de veinte años. Lo mismo que “Cumbres borrascosas”, de Emily Brontë, que con veinte años parecía ya haberlo vivido todo y conocido todo. (...)El mismo estilo, sin florituras, pero expresivo y certero, contribuye a esa hondura de [La Isla y los demonios], a que la vivamos con fuerza y casi miedo como la de Emily Brontë. (...)No hay nada que Carmen Laforet escribiera por escribir o por predicar algo. E incluso el catolicismo que aparece en “La mujer nueva” es el catolicismo desgarrado y vivo de Georges Bernanos, no el de las estampitas. Y sobre todo Laforet tiene novelismo, en el sentido más noble del término. El que señala un romanticismo como expresionismo, como indagación en lo que la realidad convencional esconde. Las novelas hacen eso, y las de Carmen Laforet más que las otras. Igual que las de Emily Brontë.Incluso Charlotte Brontë, la hermana, que en “Jane Eyre” habla de una institutriz en apariencia convencional, tiene sus demonios. En el desván de su amante casado está la mujer loca en el desván. Esa mujer de las Antillas que enloqueció por las frialdades del marido inglés, o más bien la consideran loca porque no sigue la frialdad del montón.Jean Rhys en “Ancho mar de los Sargazos” cuenta la historia desde el punto de vista de la loca, una mujer que vibraba en las selvas y los acantilados de la isla Dominica y llega a los estiramientos de una familia británica.Emily Brontë era británica, pero con algo de Jean Rhys y de esa loca de los Sargazos. Y Carmen Laforet es española, pero tiene esos demonios encendidos y oscuros que pone en sus novelas. (Antonio Costa Gómez) (Translation)

In Courtney Bailey’s offbeat, but easy-to-watch play directed by Kathleen Barth, the sisters and feisty brother, Branwell (Ty Edwards), are stuck in a time warp sometime in their afterlife. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact years of Purgatory, but it’s definitely contemporary. The task they must complete is to reach the highest level a party can attain and, once achieved, they will be released from this punishment.Emily (Leah Ly) seems to want out of her current situation as she struggles with her distrust of men. Her T-shirt berates men, real and fictional. She has a special affection for women, especially Cathy, the character she created in Wuthering Heights, who shows up at every party. Brenna Horner is superb as this vixen whom we want to love/hate. She steals the show with her hand mic and sexy gown and leads the audience in a party song. As the actors kept filling our glasses for the expected toasts, I felt I was in the best place for a hot, August Sunday afternoon. My guess is that it would be just as special during mid-winter. (...)While it looks like nothing will be resolved, and the party dims with Branwell’s rant about hating all the women who loved him. He was my least favorite character in this otherwise all-female cast. For the record, I enjoyed this ‘party’ more than many of my earth-bound soirees. My only issue was that Alexa never revealed what the “best party song” was. My guess is Brittany Spears. I suppose I’ll have to return to find out. I would like that very much, and this time, I will toss my cane, put on some dancing shoes, and sequins, just like the house manager who was adorned with silver sparkles. (Carolyn Kelemen)
Isabelle Methven: My name is Isabelle Methven, and I’m playing Helen Burns and Bessie in Jane Eyre. They’re two very different women, but both have such an important influence on Jane’s life, which makes them wonderful characters to play.Jane Eyre is regarded as one of the great works of English literature. What drew you to Charlotte Brontë’s story?Isabelle Methven: It’s actually my favourite book.I’ve loved it for years, so when the opportunity came up to be part of this production, I couldn’t have been more excited. Charlotte Brontë created such rich, truthful characters, and I think that’s why people continue to connect with the story today.It’s a real privilege to be part of bringing it to life on stage.Helen Burns and Bessie are very different characters, yet both help shape Jane’s journey. What has it been like exploring those roles?Isabelle Methven: That’s one of the things I love most about them.Helen represents kindness, compassion and forgiveness, while Bessie provides warmth and comfort in a very different way. They both leave lasting impressions on Jane, even though they’re with her at different points in her life.Finding those differences has been one of the most enjoyable parts of rehearsals.
Written by composer and lyricist Jim Steinman, the heartbreaking power ballad is said to have been influenced by the gothic Emily Brontë novel “Wuthering Heights,” which Steinman said was one of his favorite books.“‘It’s All Coming Back To Me Now’ is my attempt to write the most passionate, romantic song I could ever write,” Steinman is quoted as saying, according to his official website. “I was writing it while under the influence of Wuthering Heights.” (Carly Silva)
Mr Roscoe said: "I’m on a mission to help younger people connect to the landscape through adventure, discovery and education."One of his early successes was a video exploring the dark history of Haworth, home of the Brontë sisters, which sparked a new direction for the channel.He said: "I made a video about the dark history of Haworth, home of the Brontë Sisters, and discovered that people love that combination of learning about local history, nature and walking adventures that are accessible to them." (Harry Williams)
“The Song of Stork and Dromedary” (FSG Originals, 736 pages, $23), published in the Netherlands in 2022 and translated into English by David McKay this year, begins in an English village in West Yorkshire during the first half of the 19th century. This is the birthplace of Millicent and Eliza May Drayden, whom Ms. Daanje has loosely modeled on Charlotte and Emily Brontë. The book expands outward, creating an enormous system of stories orbiting the sisters’ lives and legends.Like the Brontës, the Draydens are the eccentric daughters of a widowed curate. After growing up in wild isolation on the moors, they published groundbreaking novels under androgynous pseudonyms. (Sam Sacks)
In the Gothic, time is rarely linear, as the past constantly intervenes in the present. Think intergenerational trauma in Wuthering Heights, colonial mining in Mexican Gothic, or the way every room holds the past, present and future of its inhabitants in The Infamous Gilberts. Houses are one of the ways the Gothic shows the passage of time through ruins and decay.
Yorkshire is synonymous with many things: its eponymous puddings, the Brontë sisters and their enduring Gothic literature, moody moors and weather-beaten heathlands, and market towns built from honey-colored Yorkstone. In Helmsley, a small town that's partially tucked inside the North York Moors National Park, you can experience all of the above — minus the Brontës, of course, the last of whom, Charlotte, died more than 170 years ago. (...)Wander Helmsley's narrow lanes and you'll soon find Helmsley Castle, a stone fortification that's been around since the mid-12th century. Folktales suggest that, come nightfall, the grounds are stalked by apparitions and ghosts. Additionally, the town provides access to trails weaving through the nearby moorlands and heathers, the very same landscapes that inspired the Brontës' most famous tales, "Wuthering Heights" and "Jane Eyre." (David McElhinney)
Rydal Mount was sold by its previous owners in part due to a drop in numbers, and curators must be adept in capitalising on any new sources of interest. At the Brontë Parsonage in Yorkshire, an exhibition accompanied this year’s release of a new Wuthering Heights film; at Anne Hathaway’s cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon, Hamnet tours are on offer.
I feel like the filmmaker is channelling what those movies made them feel when they watched them rather than being slavish to the plot or specific details — one of the ways this film oddly parallels Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights,” along with both films including scenes of fleshy walls. (Carsten Knox)

Andrew McMillan: If you’re having a fragile day while midway through a tour, how do you take care of yourself?Kate Ceberano: It’s very infantilising, but you’ve got to feed yourself and put yourself to a little afternoon nap. You’re just going to think me completely ridiculous; I don’t know why, but I find listening to old English novels, like Emily Brontë in an audiobook, and it’s just the weirdest thing. I find it so soothing to go to a drawing room in 1870 or 1880, and know that there’s nothing out the window (in the story) except for a few lowing cows, and one spare lamb, you know? (laughs) And she’s just sitting out of that window, wondering what Darcy’s doing that afternoon. I find that has a sort of a therapeutic kind of “om” (effect) for me.So when I’m driving from one venue to the next, sometimes it’s up to 4½ hours’ drive, and I know I’ve got to recover, put it back up on soundcheck, and then the gig in the evening … God help me if I don’t go and escape to Jane Eyre, or Wuthering Heights, or Pride and Prejudice. It’s definitely comforting to me to cuddle into that space. I’m like a kid: put the kid on the couch, put on something quiet on the television, take everything away and make sure the stomach’s fed, give her a little “nanna nap” – and then she’s good to go.
The show opens with the Narrator (Kady Lyon) trying to settle on which scary story to tell the audience (“we couldn’t get Jacob Elordi so Frankenstein is out… we couldn’t get Jacob Elordi so Wuthering Heights is out”), before settling on Gagula. (Rebecca Mahar)
Tras muchos años de abandono, la ruinosa mansión de Wildfell Hall es habitada de nuevo por una misteriosa mujer y su hijo de corta edad. La nueva inquilina, una viuda, no tarda, con su carácter retraído y poco sociable, sus opiniones a menudo radicales y su extraña, triste belleza, en atraer las sospechas de la vecindad, y a la vez la rendida admiración de un joven e impetuoso agricultor. Pero la mujer tiene, en efecto, un pasado... más terrible y tortuoso si cabe de lo que la peor de las murmuraciones es capaz de adivinar. La inquilina de Wildfell Hall (1848), segunda y última novela de Anne Brontë, une al bello relato de un amor prohibido e invernal el retrato intensísimo del fracaso de un matrimonio degradado por el abuso y la violencia. (Translation)
Desde su aparición en 2020, la novela ha sido calificada como una adaptación de los elementos del gótico romántico al contexto mexicano. Sin embargo, Silvia Moreno-García, en una entrevista para el podcast “Books Connect Us”, de Penguin Random House, revela que esto no es del todo cierto.“En realidad no estaba pensando en el gótico romántico como el de ‘Cumbres borrascosas’ o ‘Jane Eyre’, sino más bien en el gótico de terror. Es decir, títulos como ‘Drácula’, ‘El monje’ o los relatos de Horacio Quiroga”, dice la autora que relata que la historia surgió de un viaje a Real de Monte en Hidalgo, donde hay minas que fueron explotadas primero por españoles y luego por ingleses. (Kevin Aragón) (Translation)
The Brontë Sisters UK publishes a video about this 1850 painting by Abraham Solomon, Portrait of Charlotte Brontë. An intriguing portrait, hardly of the real Charlotte but curious, anyway. The latest post by AnneBrontë.org marks two Brontë-adjacent clergy anniversaries: Sutcliffe Sowden, who married Arthur and Charlotte and later died tragically in a canal, and Hammond Roberson, the fiercely anti-Luddite Dewsbury vicar known to Patrick Brontë and immortalized as Charlotte's Reverend Helstone in Shirley.

The Brontë Parsonage is a must-visit and will help you learn more about the sisters’ lives through immersive exhibitions.If you are up for a walk, the Brontë waterfall and bridge that was often visited by the sisters is a 45-minute walk away.To explore more of the surrounding area, you can get a Day Rover ticket for the heritage steam train that runs along the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.For food, you might want to stop at Cobbles and Clay for either some breakfast or a hearty sandwich for lunch.The café also serves a range of hot and cold drinks alongside plenty of homemade cakes to choose from.If you are looking for somewhere to treat yourself, you could try the Hawthorn restaurant that offers seasonal dishes created using local ingredients. (Amy Britton)
Different eras posed different challenges. For instance, trying to represent the whole of 20th-century literature by means of 10 books felt like trying, in Emily Brontë’s words, to plant an oak tree in a flower pot (...) [The quote is from Chapter XIV and goes like this:He might as well plant an oak in a flowerpot, and expect it to thrive, as imagine he can restore her to vigour in the soil of his shallow cares!]Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. The first reviewers were horrified – “How a human being could have attempted such a book… without committing suicide before he had finished a dozen chapters, is a mystery,” declared one American critic – and poor Emily Brontë died at 30 within a year of publication, not knowing her only novel would come to be seen as the masterwork of Victorian fiction.What raises Wuthering Heights above other love stories, including Emily’s sister Charlotte’s Jane Eyre, is the way it conveys passion as a physical force, as irresistible as gravity and potentially as dangerous. Adaptations never do the book justice, because capturing the elemental essence of “imp of Satan” Heathcliff and his lover/possible half-sister Cathy is trickier than taming tigers. (Jake Kerridge)
[FR] Leavis was correct that Gwendolen is one of the great heroines of Victorian literature, more tragic and impulsive than Elizabeth Bennet, more dashing and winsome than Jane Eyre. And he was also right that the book’s Jewish chapters can be mawkish in places. But what he missed was how insightful they are. (Josh Glancy)
The play takes a few liberties with the historical Brontë sisters — Emily, Charlotte and Anne — who were never simultaneously at the Roe Head School for Girls. But that matters little for the purposes of the charming ghost story that Zolidis has created. Emily (Taylor Curtis) seeks to understand why her mother died young and spins a series of tales aimed at relieving her sense of loss. (For Brontë enthusiasts, there will be the added poignancy of knowing that Emily herself would live only to age 30.)At the final dress rehearsal seen by The News-Gazette, director Emily Ritter’s production appeared to need more rehearsal time given the challenges faced in performance. Although the playwright estimates a 90-minute performance, the Twin City production adds 45 minutes to that. In comedy, less can often be more, and the trick is to know when to simplify. (Jeffrey Eric Jenkins)
Maybe my surroundings influenced me a little? After all, there are the Brontë ladies, and The Railway Children – that part of Yorkshire is steeped in literature, and there’s a lot of creativity around. (Phil Penfold)
2. Kate Bush - Wuthering HeightsOne of the most famous literary-influenced pop songs, young Kate’s adaptation of Emily Bronte’s dark romance from 1847 made the UK Number One spot in 1978. Kate chose the song because she realised that she shared a birthday with the writer: 30 July.
Saltmoore’s greatest strength, though, is how deeply rooted it feels in Yorkshire. Rather than shutting the landscape out, it welcomes it in full force. The dramatic coastline is only moments away, while the moors, wild, untamed and romantic, provide a backdrop that changes. It’s no surprise these are the landscapes that not only inspired Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights but also welcomed a new generation of visitors when Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi brought the story back to the big screen earlier this year. If you want to explore further and find out more, you can drive around to see the filming locations, but you might need some welly boots for rambles across the heathers. (Soraya Gaied Chortane)
13. "I loved listening to Thandiwe Newton reading Jane Eyre even more than I loved reading it myself, and it was already one of my favorite books."
Weeks after the 2025 release of the remastered version of Buckingham Nicks, Nicks appeared on the music podcast Song Exploder to discuss the concept of the album’s hit track “Frozen Love.”The song is about “two people that were in love, that had a lot of differences and saw the world slightly differently, but had this relationship that seemed to be like a gift,” Nicks said.“I like to think of it as Wuthering Heights or Great Expectations — a modern day love affair, tragedies,” she added. “Because nobody really loves happy songs. Certainly I didn’t, and neither really did Lindsey. (Inga Parkel)
BBC Four reairs tonight (21:40 h GMT) The Brontës Live Here: Writer's Houses with Margaret Drabble visiting the Parsonage in 1973. The influencer and writer Carolina Müller recommends Wuthering Heights in Alternativo (México). The Sunday Guardian (India) lists ficional character with powerful life lessons, including Jane Eyre.

In Twin City Theatre Company’s Stars of Tomorrow production, a rambunctious cast and crew of young theatre-makers barrels full-speed through an exuberantly irreverent reimagining of Emily Brontë’s time at the Roe Head Girls’ School, with a dash of Scooby Doo sprinkled on top for good measure. The play envisions the Brontë sisters’ deceased mother as a skilled necromancer. While Charlotte and Anne are reticent to continue their mother’s legacy, Emily eagerly follows in her mother’s footsteps when a phantom begins terrorizing Roe Head, where Emily and Anne are students and Charlotte is a teacher. Together, they must solve the mystery of the phantom, navigate the onerous expectations placed on young women in the 1800s (or any era, for that matter), and save the school from shutting down once and for all.Emily Ritter makes her directorial debut after performing in the last four Twin City student productions, and most recently Songs for a New World. Ritter marshals a sizeable cast, which ranges in age from elementary school children to recent college graduates. As Emily and Charlotte Brontë, Taylor Curtis and Winnie Blanchfield drive much of the action. Charlotte’s role as a teacher brings her priorities into conflict, forcing her to choose between her job responsibilities and her desire to support the obstinate and irrepressible Emily. That conflict serves as the play’s emotional backbone, as the characters explore the timeless themes of intergenerational misunderstanding. Curtis’s performance as Emily is appropriately single-minded and acerbic. Blanchfield captures the plight of a character stuck between two worlds; Charlotte is no longer one of the girls, but she is also not resigned to settling for an adulthood consumed by a loveless marriage, career advancement, or both. (Douglas Malcolm)
Megan McGinnis: I’m Megan McGinnis, and I’m co-directing this production of Jane Eyre.I actually started my journey with Jane Eyre in 1998. I auditioned to be in the show and wasn’t cast, but I completely fell in love with the musical after seeing it on Broadway many times.Then, in 2009, I began working with John Caird and Paul Gordon on Daddy Long Legs. That production really cemented our creative relationship, and when I directed a new American production of Jane Eyre a couple of years ago, they came into rehearsals and continued developing the piece. I suddenly realised I wasn’t directing a finished musical anymore—I was directing something that was still evolving.When this UK premiere came along, John and Paul invited me to join them as co-director, and I couldn’t be happier that I said yes.Jane Eyre is one of the great literary masterpieces. What was it about Charlotte Brontë’s story that first spoke to you?Megan McGinnis: I first read the novel while I was at college, and it came at exactly the right time in my life.Reading about a woman who was honest about her flaws but still believed she deserved happiness, love and equality was incredibly powerful. Jane never lets society define her worth, even though obstacles are constantly put in her way.Sadly, it’s also a reminder that many of the issues women faced in the 1840s are still relevant today, which is one of the reasons the story continues to resonate with audiences.One of the production’s most interesting creative decisions is that the ensemble all become Jane’s voice at different points throughout the story. How does that work in practice?Megan McGinnis: That’s really the beauty of this adaptation.Everyone on stage becomes part of Jane’s journey, and because the novel is written from her perspective, the ensemble helps carry that narration in a really theatrical way.It also means every member of the company has ownership of the storytelling, and that’s something that has made rehearsals incredibly exciting.
Historic books, which have been chosen for display by Rosemary Wood, Becca Smith, Alice Measom McMahon, and Polly Anna Rosa Steiner, address environmental connections and the use of plants in healing by witches and healers, as well as local representation of witches in the Northwest of England and colonial stereotyping. Books on display include J. G. Frazer’s The Golden Bough, William Harrison Ainsworth’s The Lancashire Witches, and Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea. (Bradley Lengden)
But while this story is a newish angle on the slavery story (perhaps taking some cues from Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved, or Jean Rhys’s novel Wide Sargasso Sea), it isn’t always successful at executing what it sets out to achieve. (Aoife Barry)
But from the moment Claudia arrives and approaches the creepy-looking plantation house on the hill, she is plunged into a Gothic horror. Think hauntings, centuries-old curses and possession by evil entities, all rooted in the West African tradition of obeah. There are echoes here of Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea, plus every horror film that has tried to spook us with unidentifiable noises, doors that suddenly won’t open and disturbing things hidden beneath the floorboards. (Anita Singh)
Indiana was a smash hit and an enduring one, and it’s fair to suggest, as Sampson does, that this “creole romance” had a direct influence on both Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Sand quickly became known in Paris for a literary facility every bit the match for her subversive social persona and lifestyle. (Gregory Day)
«Sea lo que sea de lo que estén hechas nuestras almas, la tuya y la mía son las mismas». Emily Brontë definió a la perfección uno de los amores más tóxicos de la historia de la literatura, que daría pie a las novelas románticas juveniles de nuestros días; aunque parece que hubo un tiempo en que habían desaparecido, simplemente cambiaron de generación. (Diego Rueda) (Translation)
