Et tu, Brontë?

Traveller (Australia) looks for Sylvia Plath in Brontë country:

If you come this way, it is best to come armed with a little reading first.
Most do, but restrict it to the books of the Brontë sisters, who lived and wrote in the parsonage, perfectly preserved still, of the village of Haworth, about 14 kilometres north-west of Heptonstall.
It is a lonely drive between Haworth and Heptonstall across the "tops" of bleak and beautiful moorland, wind tearing at mist, sheep dotted across hillsides and the wide landscape interrupted only by drystone fences.
Emily Brontë captured this country for generations of romantics in her novel Wuthering Heights.
But the West Yorkshire uplands also captured the imagination of the immensely gifted and fragile Sylvia Plath. (...)
One of her poems, Two Views of Withens, concerns itself with an old farmhouse across the moors towards Haworth called Top Withens that is thought to be Emily Brontë's inspiration for Heathcliff's adoptive home in Wuthering Heights.
Above whorled, spindling gorse, Plath wrote of it in 1957, Sheepfoot-flattened grasses/Stone wall and ridgepole rise/Prow-like through blurs/Of fog in that hinterland few/Hikers get to.
In fact, so many hikers from distant parts have discovered Brontë country since then that some of the directions on hiking paths these days are posted not just in English, but Japanese.
Japanese women come in such great numbers to Brontë country, obsessed with the three literary sisters – Emily, Charlotte and Anne – that academics and social commentators have devoted scholarly works to the phenomenon. So pervasive is the annual Japanese pilgrimage to West Yorkshire that British prize-winning writer Mick Jackson devoted his 2017 novel, Yuki chan in Brontë Country, to the subject.
Wuthering Heights has been translated into Japanese more than 20 times and has been adapted in Japan for numerous stage productions, films and TV series. Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre also has a wide following in Japan.
A common theme to the speculating about all this is that the passion expressed within the Bronte sisters' writing – the longing for freedom alongside a repressed violence, yet nestled within the comfort of patriarchal society, not to mention all of it set in the barren beauty of Wuthering Heights country – finds some deep resonance within Japanese hearts. (...)
Plath, who endures here forever now, clearly recognised it, too, and understood in some elemental way that her final destiny lay there.
In her poem Wuthering Heights (1961), she wrote of the moorland: "I can feel it trying/To funnel my heat away/If I pay the roots of the heather/Too close attention, they will invite me/To whiten my bones among them." (Tony Wright)

One reader of The Times points out the true origins of Patrick Brontë:

ET TU, BRONTË?
Sir, Having once had the honour to play Patrick Brontë (“Smugglers’ tales: how pirates paid the Brontës”, Jul 1), I feel bound to point out that he was no Yorkshireman. Born in Co Down to a poor Irish family named Prunty (or Brunty), his acute intelligence led him eventually to the ministry and to Cambridge University, where he quickly abandoned his birth name for something grander. Borrowing Lord Nelson’s Neapolitan title of Duke of Bronte, the humble scholar became the Rev Patrick Brontë. (Patrick Malahide, Polruan, Cornwall)

AnOther Magazine publishes an A-Z to sadomasochism in culture:

W is for the Kiss of the Whip
Also: Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, described by American social critic Camille Paglia as a sadomasochistic novel. (Lucy Kumara Moore)

The Sydney Morning Herald vindicates 1978, a great year for popular music:

But 1978 is also pretty important. Springsteen came back with Darkness on the Edge of Town, Blondie released Parallel Lines, Grease (and its soundtrack) premiered, there were debuts by Midnight Oil, Devo and Dire Straits while the Sex Pistols played their last show.
More importantly, a young Kate Bush gave the world Wuthering Heights to become the first woman to top the British charts with a self-penned song. She also delivered two albums that year. (Shane Wright)

Also in the same newspaper, a discussion of Anna Todd's After:

But the most disconcerting thing about Hardin, Tessa decides, is his interest in reading. Wuthering Heights is his favourite. Giving her due warning, he informs her that he regards Heathcliff as his alter ego. (Sandra Hall)

Fodor's Travel and UK castles that have been featured in films and TV series:

Broughton Castle ('Jane Eyre')
Where: Oxfordshire, England
More a medieval fortified manor than a true turrets-and-all castle, Broughton Castle is now a Grade II Listed building which opens to the public in the summer months. However, a decade or so ago, it was used as the filming location for Jane Eyre (2011) movie, where Broughton Castle exteriors stand-in for Lowood School. Meanwhile, some of the interiors were used for Thornfield Hall. (Lauren Cocking)

DireDonna (Italy) lists romantic books:

Jane Eyre di Charlotte Brontë (Feltrinelli). “Le domando di trascorrere la vita al mio fianco, di essere il mio secondo io e la mia migliore compagna sulla terra”: la storia d’amore tra una giovane istitutrice e il suo datore di lavoro è immersa nell’introspezione e nel conflitto tra religione e sentimenti che permea tutto il Romanticismo. La suspense non scema mai, il finale è da leggere e rileggere. (Eleonora D'Uffizi) (Translation)
