Mari Webb has posted on
M/C Reviews an original review of the play
Brontë, by Polly Teale, currently on stage in Brisbane.
Emily: I like this play. Me as a Goth: or don’t they call them Emos these days? Maybe I should just stick to mystic of the moors. I could do that. I got the best lines too…
Charlotte: I don’t like it as much as you. Polly really wasn’t very fair to me at all—I know I was a control freak at times but I did the best I could. Everyone blames me because they know nothing about you two.
Emily: Well how could they have known I asked you to get rid of my papers and my second novel before I died? Why on earth didn’t you write down what I said for people to find later?
Charlotte: And risk being throttled by you for my pains? No, thank you! (Read more)
Park City Record poses a question:
What would life be like if you couldn't curl up with a weathered copy of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" or "Jane Eyre"? (Greg Marshall)
We would much rather curl up with a weathered copy of Jane Eyre than Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, thank you very much.
The Times-Picayune includes a parenthesis that seems very sad to us:
I read Austen, all of Jane Austen. The Brontes, including Anne (most people don't read her). (Elizabeth Mullener)
It's a sad realisation when you have to have a parenthesis to include Anne
Brontë in the general 'the Brontës', isn't it?
Francisca Kellett doesn't cheer us up with her remark on her
Telegraph blog:
Let's see this as one of those rainy school-day afternoons where the teacher is in a bad mood and props her class in front of a BBC remake of Wuthering Heights, in the hope that they won't misbehave.
But we can count on Richard Wilcocks from the
Brontë Parsonage Blog to keep the levels of Brontëism up. He writes about Ian Emberson and his
forthcoming event at Ilkley (October 11).
The Pink Bookworm writes about Wuthering Heights.
