The Brontë Sheep Sisters

Il Foglio (Italy) reviews Paola Tonussi's Emily Brontë biography:

In questo saggio su Emily, Paola Tonussi ha scritto molto di come e quanto Charlotte abbia cercato di esortare i lettori, il mondo intero, ad amare sua sorella, avendone capito il valore, ma forse non la volontà, il desiderio, tanto da diventare, a lungo, una delle maggiori responsabili della sbagliata ricezione di Cime Tempestose, che per molti anni fu preso come un romanzetto e non come l’opera assoluta che è, il lavoro di una vita della scrittrice del vento, e della perdita, e della ricerca della felicità nell’eterno, e quindi dell’infelicità come colpa e non inevitabile sciagura o condizione umana. (Simonetta Sciadivasci) (Translation) 

South China Morning Post on neglected/forgotten sisters:

Anne Brontë
Emily Brontë, who wrote Wuthering Heights, with its famously dark characters Cathy and Heathcliff, and Charlotte Brontë, who wrote Jane Eyre with its Byronic hero who looks past the heroine’s uncomely looks to the ardent heart within, are literary legends. But many may not be aware that there was a third Brontë sister, Anne.
This relatively unknown sister wrote The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey, both considered as masterpieces of Victorian literature by a growing number of literary scholars. But Anne’s rise to fame was, perhaps, doomed from the start: the near-simultaneous publication of Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey.
Wuthering Heights took up two volumes of the standard triple-decker format of the time, while Anne’s tale made up the third. Emily’s novel, with its dark depictions of mental and physical cruelty, polarised opinions and grabbed all the attention. Agnes Grey, a tale of quiet suffering, endurance and realism, earned little of the glory.
Anne’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, published in 1848, was similarly unromanticised. The novel charts in unsparing, compelling detail the effects of a husband’s alcoholism on a woman and her son. While Anne refused to glamorise oppressive men, Charlotte and Emily indulged in the brooding, abusive Byronic hero. Anne's heroes are curates and farmers — quiet, supportive men who look after their mothers. They are not the sort of personalities to cause a scandal or attract literary fame. (Victoria Burrows)

beliefnet on passionate love:

One of my favorite books is the classic, Wuthering Heights, written by Emily Brontë. It’s a story of passionate love between Heathcliff and Catherine who have known each other since childhood. Life separates them. When Heathcliff hears that his Catherine has died, he feels deep anguishes and cries out, “Be with me always. Take any form-drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!” (Linda Mintle)

CNN Travel discovers the wonders of Tasmania. One of the small islands at the South of Tasmania is Satellite Island which has some curious inhabitants:

Don't forget to say hello to the island's year-round residents, most of whom are four legged -- there are three sister sheep named Anne, Emily and Charlotte Brontë. (Lilit Marcus)

The Spinoff (New Zealand) reviews Shayne Carter's Dead People I Have Known:

The music scene in those early days, as Shayne writes it, is dominated by boys and men. When he writes about his girlfriends, sometimes with self-pity and bitterness, sometimes with the heart of a Brontë, he is careful not to name them. (Rachael King)

Molly Horan's column in Electric Journal has a Brontë reference:

Using fictional characters’ ages as guideposts for my own life (or shortcomings) isn’t a new obsession of mine. I clearly remember thinking “I am so behind” when, at nine, I read that Matilda Wormwood had checked Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, and The Sound and the Fury off her literary bucket list by the time she was five. It didn’t matter that Matilda was described in the novel as a genius, with so much brain power it spilled over past the normal bounds of human ability until she was telekinetic. If a kid, even fictional, could tackle the classics before first grade, what kind of aspiring English teacher was I to be still reading Judy Blume in fourth? And much more importantly, if I was this far behind at nine, who might I be lagging behind at fifteen or 20?” 

Udiscovermusic lists classic albums by young musicians:

Kate Bush: The Kick Inside (1978)
This debut was released a few months shy of her 20th birthday, but Kate Bush was only 16 when she began making demos, with David Gilmour producing. A couple of those early songs made The Kick Inside, and one even turned into a UK No.1 single: ‘Wuthering Heights’. (Brett Milano)
Key track: ‘Wuthering Heights’

Coastal Living recommends beach readings:

You, Me, and the Sea by Meg Donohue
Inspired by Wuthering Heights, You, Me, and the Sea tells the coming-of-age story of Merrow Shawe. Although Merrow’s childhood in a coastal Northern California town seems nothing short of idyllic, Merrow struggles beneath the surface with the mystery of her mother’s death and the unexplained harshness of her older brother, Bear. As if flipped by a rogue wave, Merrow’s life turns upside down when Amir, a young man from India, is brought to stay in her family’s home. As a romance begins between the two, threatening secrets come to light.

ActuaLitté (in French) reviews the Cathy Marston ballet, Jane Eyre:

Marston est férue, comme elle le reconnaît bien volontiers, de littérature : elle s’est déjà lancée dans le Lolita de Vladimir Nabokov, le D.H. Lawrence et son Lady Chatterley ou encore Les revenants d’Henrik Ibsen, tous adaptés en ballet par ses soins.
Terriblement fidèle aux sources textuelles, dans une tradition très britannique d’adaptation, elle revendique également l’influence suisse du Bern Ballett, qu’elle dirigea durant six années. L’Allemagne et ses propres codes se mêlent à sa fibre britannique, et le texte se trouve parfois rehaussé d’autres choses, différemment exprimées.
Ici, Devon Teuscher incarne Jane et James Whiteside joue Rochester. Une nouvelle vie, supplémentaire, pour cette figure féminine. (Victor De Sepausy) (Translation)
