The Best Place on Earth

The Chronicle of Higher Education and social classes:

And, of course, the literature of the 19th century is full of poor relations, like Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre or Jane Austen's Dashwood girls, who need a job or a husband or a patron to support them, but have a claim to to gentle birth. (Kwame Anthony Appiah)

Chortle talks about Kieran Hodgson's new project:

 As Chortle revealed in June, the comic will also be shooting Nick Mohammed's Channel 4 sitcom pilot shortly, playing a hapless runner on a Mr Swallow chat show. Hodgson added that his Blap was 'a small but significant rite of passage that gives me the chance, as the narrator, to talk a bit about the role the Moors play in Yorkshire life and to stare out at various bleak horizons like I'm in a Brontë adaptation.
'With any luck, future episodes would explore various aspects of life in Yorkshire, fuelling Yorkshire people's justified perception that they live in the best place on Earth. (Jay Richardson)

Entertainment Focus reviews the film Beast:

Then she meets Pascal (Johnny Flynn), a handsome outsider, with a touch of young Heathcliff about him. A natural outdoorsman, Pascal is a native ancestral islander. He himself is like the mythical landscape of the island, rugged and untamed. (John Parker)

Self-help books in the Daily Mail:

Months of Rejection Therapy and fear-fighting had made me far less embarrassed. My problem was with men I fancied. Like the tall, black-haired cross between Heathcliff and Ryan Gosling walking on Hampstead Heath with a Labrador one morning.
Just look at him and smile, say hello! He got closer. Come on, do it. He got closer still. Smile, Marianne. Or look at him . . .
Instead, I diverted to a side path to avoid him. I was so scared, I practically threw myself into a bush. What progress had I made after a whole year? I was nearly 40, for God’s sake! (Marianne Power)

Infobae (in Spanish) reminisces of when copies of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer escaped censorship under Jane Eyre covers. The Sisters's Room visited the Parsonage and they came with a nice edition of Jane Eyre. Pulse posts about Wuthering Heights. Thieving Books (in Polish) reviews My Plain Jane.
