Catherine Carter is studying in England and writes in the Northern Star about her excitement after being in the outdoor performances of Wuthering Heights in Oxford:

No words will do this play justice, but since words are all I have for you, I will do my best. The play was the most phenomenal production that I have ever seen in my life. I like to think I’ve seen a lot of shows in my life, so to top all of the ones I’ve seen before is quite a feat. The actors were electric. The emotion they felt was palpable in the audience. In the words of my fellow students, we fell in love with each of the characters. At points I could even hear the old ladies behind me crying. (Was I crying too, or was it just raining on my face…? Definitely rain, definitely rain.) I was so enthralled with and drawn into the world of Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights that I was entirely unprepared for the play to finally end. I have never wanted to immediately rewatch something as much as I did in that moment.

Xinhuanet (China) announces that

The Chinese-language stage-version of Jane Eyre, produced by China's National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA), will stage a new round of performances from July 26 to Aug. 3, marking the 10th anniversary since it premiered.
The play, based on Charlotte Brontë's classic novel, will be staged at the NCPA in Beijing.
With Wang Xiaoying as its stage director, the production, which was the first NCPA-produced drama, uncovers Jane Eyre's fight for freedom and fulfillment on her own terms as well as her love story with Rochester.

If you've been to York, you've been to Bettys. The Telegraph joins in the centenary celebrations:

Bettys has just six tea rooms, but they are as much a part of Yorkshire legend as Wuthering Heights or Geoffrey Boycott’s forward defence. (Harry Wallop)

You'll never have compared the boxer Floyd Mayweather to Anne Brontë, but Sportskeeda has no problems:

“Even though I had a rough life I always had my mind on bigger and better things,” says Floyd Mayweather whose life impeccably personifies Anne Bronte’s quote, “But he that dares not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose.” (Nitish Kapur)

The Nation (Nigeria) reviews An abundance of scorpions by Hadiza Isma El Rufai:

There are many overt and covert metanarrative allusions to other novels and novelists in An Abundance of Scorpions. The most explicit are to Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and some of the novels of Sydney Sheldon, the American writer of romantic suspense novels, one of the biggest and most successful writers of pulp fiction of all time. (...)
Charlotte Brontë and Mariama Ba are highbrow authors to genuflect to, but not Sydney Sheldon; he is decidedly middlebrow at best. (...) But more complexly however, the pulp fiction element relates to the emotional and sentimental aspects of Tambaya’s personality while the allusions to the likes of Charlotte Brontë and Mariama Ba relate to her intellectual yearnings, her drive to gain a deeper awareness of the tragedies and challenges to her as a woman who, for the fist time in her life, confronts what it means to be without the crutches of patriarchy presented as children, husbands, brothers, suitors. (Biodon Jeyifu)

Her lists classic books we could read again and again:

The story of orphaned Jane Eyre, who grows up in the home of her heartless aunt, enduring loneliness and cruelty. This troubled childhood strengthens Jane's natural independence and spirit - which prove necessary when she finds employment as a governess to the young ward of Byronic, brooding Mr Rochester.
As her feelings for Rochester develop, Jane gradually uncovers Thornfield Hall's terrible secret, forcing her to make a choice. Should she stay with Rochester and live with the consequences, or follow her convictions - even if it means leaving the man she loves? (Keeley Ryan)

The Independent and zombie films:

Back then, zombie movies tended to explore the legacy of slavery. They dealt with racial tension and fear of miscegenation. Most striking about I Walked With a Zombie is its literary quality. If the Brontë sisters had been whisked away from Haworth and hired by RKO in the 1940s to work on a script together, this is precisely the type of updated Jane Eyre-style story you could easily imagine them writing together. (Geoffrey Macnab)

El País (in Catalan) reviews Curs de Literatura Catalana Contemporànea by Gabriel Ferrater:

Ferrater tenia al cap —un dels més ben moblats de què hem gaudit— un panorama precís i raonat de la literatura catalana. Un panorama ben contextualitzat: domina tota la tradició europea i recorre a Mallarmé, Goethe, Emily Brontë, Saint-John Perse, Dante o Brecht quan l’ajuden a explicar l’obra dels escriptors catalans. (Xavier Dilla) (Translation)

 Lubimyczytác (Poland) and holiday books:

Tak sobie myślę, że w wielu przypadkach kierujemy się nastrojem. Impulsem, dzięki któremu raz jeszcze chcemy przypomnieć sobie wszystkie misje w legendarnej tułaczce Odyseusza, w przypływie melancholii oddać się wspomnieniom Jane Eyre, roześmiać się, gdy poznamy anielsko-diabelską wizję końca świata, o której pisał swego czasu nieodżałowany Terry Pratchett w duecie z Neilem Gaimanem, czy zmrozić sobie krew w żyłach, gdy zdecydujemy się otworzyć wrota do świata Stephena Kinga. (Marcin Waincetel) (Translation)
