She is an (electric) survivor

In The Guardian, the comedian and actor Adrian Edmonson has recently listened to:

Jane Eyre read by Thandiwe Newton

Another project during lockdown involved filling in some gaps in my reading while I tootled about in the garden trying to grow vegetables in the face of the looming apocalypse. I listened to Wilkie Collins, Thomas Hardy, Henry James and George Eliot, but this beat them all. Of course I thought I knew the story from the various screen adaptations I’d seen, and was prepared for a rather put-upon woman being cruelly treated by fate, but this reading blew that notion out of the water. It’s electric: Thandiwe Newton makes Jane so strong, independent and righteously angry. So modern! And when it was revealed that the Rivers were actually her cousins – I audibly gasped.

Oakwell Hall is one of the recommendations for family-friendly places to visit suggested by the Dewsbury Reporter:

The imposing, historical house is set in over 100 acres of country park and features a nature trail, visitor centre, picnic site and playground. Walk in the footsteps of those who were connected with the house, such as Charlotte Brontë, and imagine their lives thanks to the information available. (Dominic Brown)

And The Telegraph recommends heading north for your staycations:

Calder Valley (...)

The Calder Valley is a gorgeous melding of milltown architecture, slopes and uplands as dramatic and alluring as any of those that enraptured Emily Brontë, with lovely towns and country inns on and off the main roads. Follow the Calderdale Way up to Stoodley Pike erected in 1815 to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon. (...)
The West Pennine Way (...)
Do a section or the whole hog; it’s far more original than a tramp up to “Wuthering Heights’’ or Malham Tarn and the views across the West Lancashire Coastal Plain, and as far as Wales and the Lakes, are stupendous. (Chris Moss)

The Gleaner (Jamaica) talks about the poem Red Rebel Song by Jean 'Binta' Breeze:

It was probably at Rusea’s that Breeze encountered the novel Jane Eyre by the English writer Charlotte Brontë. There she did ‘A’ level Spanish, geography and literature. In Brontë’s fiction, the Englishman Edward Rochester goes to Jamaica to marry the heiress Bertha Mason for love of her money. Born in the West Indies, Bertha is Creole and not quite white enough. Treated abominably by Rochester, she succumbs to the madness that, supposedly, runs in her family. She is taken to England where she is imprisoned in Rochester’s attic. Bertha sets fire to the house, Rochester is crippled in the blaze and she dies. In ‘Red Rebel Song’, Breeze summons the ghost of Bertha in order to distance herself from the suicidal fire in the attic. She is a survivor. (Carolyn Cooper)

The blunder of the day comes from MyLondon: 

Mickleham, is a picturesque village midway between Dorking and Leatherhead in Surrey. It's just over an hour from London by train and provides the perfect backdrop for an idyllic, traditional English getaway.

It's a place rich in history, housing exiles during the French Revolution in the 1700’s and even name dropped in the novel, Jane Eyre. (Maral Shafafy)

As far as we know Mickelham doesn't feature in Jane Eyre, but it is mentioned in Jane Austen's Emma. 

Gobookmart and the best authors that ever lived:

Charlotte Brontë

All three Bronte sisters were extraordinary writers, but Charlotte, with her Jane Eyre, The Professor and Villette stands apart. Her intricately woven plots and deep character studies establish her position on this list. (Sushmita)

Business Insider (Spain) recommends En la casa de los sueños by Carmen María Machado:

Cuenta su experiencia como víctima de maltrato en una relación homosexual. Es increíble, superligero de leer pero a la vez muy experimental. Cada capítulo es una obra de arte lleno de metarreferencias literarias y un estilo romántico que me recuerda bastante a Jane Eyre. (Ulises Izquierdo) (Translation)

Querido Clássico (in Portuguese) posts about why Wuthering Heights is not a love story. The Brontë Babe Blog posts about the making of The Crow Emporium Illustrated Jane Eyre edition.
