Any minute now Catherine Earnshaw could tap on the window wailing for Heathcliff

Diane Fare from Brontë Parsonage Museum has written an account of what to see and do at the Brontë Parsonage Museum now that it's open again for Keighley News.

We have now officially opened for 2019 and have unveiled our new exhibition, ‘Patrick Brontë: In Sickness and in Health’ which explores how illness, poor health and death plagued his life.
Objects on display include Patrick’s heavily-annotated medical manuals, Charlotte’s pillbox, with pills inside, Anne’s handkerchief, spotted with blood from her infected lungs, and lots of spectacles!
We also have a loan from Thackray Medical Museum – the type of ophthalmic instruments which would have been used to perform Patrick’s cataract surgery. So not for the squeamish amongst you!
At the end of the week, on Friday February 22, we have our first Parsonage Unwrapped evening of the year, which focuses on Patrick’s politics – in particular his relatively progressive opinions. Tickets cost £22.50/£20 and a complimentary drink is served on arrival.
The theme of Patrick’s politics is continued in our free Tuesday talk on March 5, which will examine Patrick’s campaigning, but specifically his campaigning for issues close to home, such as fundraising for the establishment of a Sunday school and a clean water supply. There’s no need to book for the Tuesday talk, but please go to bronte.org.uk/whats-on or call 01535 640192 for tickets for Parsonage Unwrapped.
I’m very excited that the museum is taking part in the first ever International Social Prescribing Day on March 14. Put simply, social prescribing is a way in which GPs and other health care professionals can help patients to improve their health and wellbeing by connecting them with local community services and activities.
And museums can play a part in this, offering opportunities to connect to others, connect with the environment (especially ours on the moors!), share stories and experiences, learn, and be inspired!
On the first ever Social Prescribing Day we’re offering free entry to residents who live in the BD22, BD21 and BD20 postcode areas and Thornton. Please come along and say hello, and take a look at our new Patrick Brontë exhibition – I’m sure Patrick would have been an advocate of social prescribing!
In the spirit of social prescribing, we’re celebrating Patrick’s birthday (fittingly St Patrick’s Day!) on March 17 in Haworth Old School Room between noon and 4pm. Everyone is welcome to come along to eat cake and hear about the community project we’re launching to discover more about Haworth in the time of the Brontës.
We’ll also be joined by guests, including Zaffar Kunial, our writer-in-residence, who will read from his new collection Us, and there will be craft activities for all the family. So please do join us to celebrate Patrick and hear more about our plans for the rest of the year. No need to book – just come along. I hope to see you there!

CTX Live Theatre reviews Jane Eyre the Musical at Emily Ann Theatre.

The essential sentimental movement of the novel and the play occurs through the relationship between Rochester and his employee Jane. Given the circumstances and English class structure, the gradual changes are repressed, ambiguous, and close to imperceptible. Rochester is caustic and often dismissive; he's absent for long periods and one gets the notion that he's something of a self-hating wastrel. Derek Smootz successfully navigates those shoals and constraints, signaling the evolution of Rochester's feelings with impressive subtlety. Opposite him, Devyn Collie is admirable as Jane, a study in severely correct black whose vivid eyes and contained expressions betray depths of sensitivity. The growing attachment of the characters is signaled much more by the music than by overt physical gesture.
The style of the work is closer to opera than to the typical Broadway musical. Each of the two acts features more than twenty musical numbers, written in complex musical lines designed to reveal character and emotion. There is little repetition of the melody. Coached by musical directors Maddie Tatman and Tommie Jackson, both in the cast, the company performs to a recorded orchestral soundtrack. Sound board operator Cameron Rivers manages levels to assure the singers are always heard.
The cast is large, with 28 actors listed in the program. Director Farias Gates stages intimate scenes with a good awareness of the requirements of theatre in the round, and when she brings the full cast into that sacred space, it's with good effect.  The many costumes designed or assembled by the director create an air of authenticity. Jane Eyre is not a dancing musical, despite a party scene with some waltzes choreographed by Melissa May Moncus; crowd scenes are for social gatherings or for musical presentations that remind us that Jane and Rochester as individuals are hemmed in by social constraints.
There are some juicy minor parts, characters whose clever quirks are Dickensian. Among them are socialite Blanche Ingram, played by the pert, attractive Jillian Linton, a notably gifted soprano; slightly dizzy housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax, played by Karin Cunningham; Tommie Jackson as Rochester's brother-in-law; and Chris Schaible as the missionary clergyman who courts Jane after her disappointments.
Jane Eyre is presented every weekend through March 3 in a space that seats an audience of about 65. This production targets and generally achieves a level of sophistication and excellence in musical performance that's rare in community-based theatre. And there's not a bad seat in the house.

The Washington Post has selected 'The 23 most unforgettable last sentences in fiction' and one of them is related to a Brontë work, but not from a Brontë work.

“Reader, I did not even have coffee with him. That much I learned in college.”
“A Gate at the Stairs,”
by Lorrie Moore (2009)
Novels and short stories make different demands on their forms — and their readers. That contrast is most evident in the final moments. Lorrie Moore, one of the best short story writers alive, once said, “The end of a story is really everything,” and for many years it seemed she had abandoned novel writing altogether. Then — after a 15 year hiatus — came “A Gate at the Stairs,” about a witty young woman trying to figure out adult life in the face of two unspeakable tragedies. You can see in this novel’s last words how successfully Moore switches registers. Knowing that the complex power of her book is already complete, the very ending offers a sigh of emotional relief: a wry repudiation of “Jane Eyre.” (Ron Charles)

We humbly think that the last sentence from Wuthering Heights is quite unforgettable and would have made a nice 24.

MPR News has included My Plain Jane by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, and Jodi Meadows in its five weekly recommendations.

3. My daughter recommends "My Plain Jane," a YA novel with Jane Eyre and Charlotte Brontë as the main characters. The book promises "there will be murder. Mayhem. Conspiracy. And, of course, romance." She read it in one day and would like you to read it, too. (Stephanie Curtis)

BookRiot has compiled a list of graphic novels that are 'pretty enough to frame', including

2. Jane by Aline Brosh MacKenna and Ramon K. Perez
Jane is a modern-day retelling of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. In this version, orphaned Jane works as a fisherwoman in New England before moving to New York City to attend art school. While in New York, Jane becomes a nanny for Adele and her mysterious father, Rochester, who houses many secrets in his upstairs rooms. Perez illustrates Jane’s years along the New England coast in muted, watery grays and blues. As Jane moves to New York, the illustrations change to black lines and brighter colors, showing a city where Jane feels truly alive. (Katherine Willoughby)

StarTribune features writer Marlon James, who recently 'chatted with Minnesota Public Radio host Kerri Miller in front of a live audience at St. Paul's Fitzgerald Theatre'.

James told Miller other things: That he became a devout Christian in his late 20s because he thought it would help him not be gay. That he used to get depressed after he'd finished writing a novel, a depression that only lifted when he got back to writing another one. And that he remains a voracious reader with catholic tastes, taking in everything from "Jane Eyre" to the pulp novels of Jackie Collins and comics such as "Hellboy." (Rohan Preston)

A contributor to The Johns Hopkins News-Letter tells about the first fantasy novel she wrote:

In high school I nursed wild ambitions of publishing a fantasy novel. The plot was muddy, but I knew my heroine. Her name was Elizia. She was a woman of color, and she spoke with all the outrageous, cringeworthy angst of a Brontë character. She was brave and intelligent and a born leader, a liberator of women and the poor who also dabbled with sorcery. (Sarah Y. Kim)

A Den of Geek! writer is in Yorkshire.

I’m typing this sitting in Ted Hughes’ old farmhouse at Lumb Bank in Yorkshire. There is a beautiful view of the spooky mill valley down to Hebden Bridge. I’m sharing words and secrets with a wonderful bunch of fellow writers. I am in the nurturing arms of the Arvon Foundation spending a week immersed in writing.
The mist is terrifying. Any minute now Catherine Earnshaw could tap on the window wailing for Heathcliff. It’s perfect. [...]
I look at the view that inspired poets. The county that forged the Brontës. The wildness, the untamed beauty and harshness of the environment. Listen to the weather, which gets a bit primal when Storm Eddie hits. Take pleasure in our many voices, combined for one final night of readings in which we celebrate our achievements. (Jane Roberts)

Value Walk looks at the most remade films.

Classic literature Jane Eyre, Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist have all seen success on the big screen, but directors seem to think they can make the movies better – and have remade them five times since the originals were released. (Jacob Wolinsky)

And now for the leftovers of Valentine's Day. News OK shares a Valentine's Day movie list which includes

"Jane Eyre" (2011): Director Cary Fukunaga ("Sin Nombre") and his talented young cast, including Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender and Jamie Bell, bring fresh energy to the often-adapted gothic tale. Every aspect of the narrative is heightened: The mystery crackles with suspense, the romance smolders with sensuality, and the coming-of-age story flares with intensity. (Brandy McDonnell)

According to a 'hopeless romantic' writing for Elle,

It’s this magical complexity that makes romance compelling.
Great love stories are fraught with complication. Think of Gone With The Wind or Wuthering Heights. Fulfilling the impossible makes great romance. (Katie Glass)

Mashable argues that,

The hegemony of the couple form is something we, as a society, are struggling to shed. And it's standing in the way of our perceptions of what it means to opt out of traditional dating structures, like not participating in dating. When we look back on the pop culture poster girls for singledom — Jane Eyre, Elizabeth Bennett, Carrie Bradshaw, Bridget Jones, Kat Stratford — all their stories end happily with them finding Mr. Right. The story ends with these shrewish bluestockings finding a cure for their ailment — and that cure is a man. Not only do I not want to take this medicine, I know for a fact I'm not ill. (Rachel Thompson)

Qué Leer (Spain) recommends both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.

Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë, Espasa Austral, traducción de Juan González-Blanco de Luaces, 456 pp., 21,90 €
La obra que consagró a su autora en el cánon universal, tiene los ingredientes de una novela gótica, pero rebasa con mucho las convenciones del género. Jane, la protagonista, nos muestra un nuevo modo de descubrir la realidad, y con su reflexión la acompañamos en un viaje hacia la autenticidad.
Cumbres Borrascosas, Emily Brontë, Austral singular, traducción de Juan González-Blanco de Luaces, 416 pp.
Esta obra es una larga y extraordinaria descripción de los actos y problemas psicológicos de unos seres locos o perversos que arrastran una existencia mísera y maléfica. Con ellos, su autora nos ofrece una visión de estos personajes que actúan demoniacamente por aridez protestante que se diluye en todas y en cada una de sus páginas. (Translation)

Jujuy al momento (Argentina) suggested women born under the sign of Aquarius read Wuthering Heights for Valentine's Day.
