Charlotte the pub-goer

LeedsLive lists often mispronounced Yorkshire place names:

Haworth

American Brontë fans may pronounce the name of this town near Bradford 'hay-worth' but they're mistaken. It's pronounced 'how-erth'. (Dave Himelfeld)

El País (Spain) interviews Emma Mackey who talks about Emily:  

En eso coinciden Muerte en el Nilo, Eiffel y la última película que ha rodado, Emily, donde interpreta a Emily Brontë. Cumbres borrascosas fue uno de los libros que leyó durante el confinamiento, preparándose para un papel que parecía hecho para ella. «Estudié Literatura inglesa en Leeds, con esta película he vuelto a Yorkshire, interpretando a una escritora… parecen cerrarse muchos círculos en mi vida con ella», dice. Y advierte que, como Eiffel, «no es un biopic. Es la interpretación de ciertos elementos biográficos de la vida de Emily, de su familia, entrelazados con elementos de Cumbres borrascosas, la única novela que publicó». (Irene Crespo) (Translation)

The reopening of The George pub in Hathersage is linked to Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre numerous references to the area in The Derby Telegraph, taking things a bit too far:

Historic Derbyshire pub reopens after £400k refurbishment

It inspired Charlotte Brontë when she was writing 'Jane Eyre'

The connection between Charlotte Brontë and the Derbyshire village of Hathersage is rather extensive, with the author having stayed there back in the 19th century and basing characters and the village itself as the set for her famous book "Jane Eyre'.

Now one of the places often visited has reopened its doors after a major refurbishment.

The iconic building "The George" which stands prominently in the centre of the village, has now been transformed into a venue fit for the 21st century, while at the same time offering nods to its compelling past.

The George was sold to the Eyre family, who also owned the beautiful Moorseats Hall which overlooks the village, in 1839 (and then on to James Morton in 1841) and it is around this time that Charlotte Brontë was known to frequent the pub. (Jonathan Chubb)

Of course.

The Telegraph & Argus talks about the Another World installation in Haworth:

Another World, by award-winning design practice NEON, has been inspired by the childhood fantasy worlds of the young Brontës and the rugged landscape which helped shape some of the siblings’ classic works.
The installation – which opens on Saturday, September 18, and runs until October 3 – forms part of Summer Unlocked, a programme of free cultural and sporting events taking place across the Bradford district.
Commissioned to “bring together culture and play”, the work – nine metres in length, four metres tall and nine metres wide – will resemble a giant washing line, with fabric fluttering from it. Audiences will be able to interact with the piece. (Alistair Shand)

A campaign to make the South Pennines a national park is in The Sunday Times:

It is a landscape of rolling hills and verdant fields, sandwiched between the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales, with picturesque towns and villages including Haworth, home of the Brontë sisters, and Ted Hughes’s beloved Hebden Bridge.

But a proposal to designate the South Pennines a national park in the 1940s was snubbed due to the region’s industrial heritage. (Hannah Al-Othman and Sophia Hall)

It's kind of depressing that columns like this one in The News (Pakistan) are still needed:

I studied in the Cambridge section of my school, the curriculum of which many thought would pollute girls’ minds. It was surprising for some to see that my younger brother and I would have discussions on Brontë’s characters in Wuthering Heights. (But that’s how we were taught – to have an opinion about characters, to understand their views, and to discuss). (Aimen Siddiqui)

The Independent (Ireland) interviews the author Alison MacLeod:

Favourite literary character?

I feel disloyal to Jane Eyre, but if I were to share a meal or a day’s sight-seeing, it would be with Anna Karenina.

The Sunday Express interviews the writer and presenter Neil Oliver:

Garry Bushell: Who was your first TV crush?
We were big consumers of Top Of The Pops so probably Kate Bush and Debbie Harry. That would explain my early attachment to Wuthering Heights.

Are you a book addict? IWMBuzz helps you to know:

Also if your friends are fictional characters, it may be a sign of book addiction. Everyone wants to meet stars like pop stars, cricketers, football players, movie actors, etc. You wish to be in touch with fictional characters like Tyrion Lannister, Jane Eyre, or Scarlett O’Hara. These are all real characters and if you wish to be with them means you are a book addict. (Simran Dribitto)

Insider Monkey lists the best-selling books of 2021:

Dog Man: Mothering Heights by Dav Pilkey
Publisher: Scholastic Books
Number 9th on our list of 10 Best Selling Books of 2021 is Dog Man: Mothering Heights. Yes, the title reminds us of Wuthering Heights, but this book is nothing like that. The Dog Man: Mothering Heights belongs to a long list of the Dog Man series and falls on number 10, leaving the readers to assume whether it’s going to be the last book of this series or not. (Aima Zaheer)

La Nueva España (Spain) talks about Lucio Coco's La biblioteca di Dostoevskij:

Es probable que el núcleo originario de la biblioteca lo constituyesen aquellos pocos libros de los que el escritor dispuso durante los diez años de prisión, por el caso Petrashevskij, y de servicio militar. Es decir, entre 1849 y 1859. Al principio, solamente tenía a mano «las peregrinaciones a los Santos Lugares y las obras de S. Dimitrij de Rostov». Más tarde, su hermano Michail le envío la novela “Jane Eyre”, de Charlotte Brontë, y obras de Shakespeare. (Jorge Juan Fernández Sangrador) (Translation)

The best costume films in Glamour (Poland): 

Jane Eyre, 2006

Serialowe i filmowe adaptacje klasyki literatury mają to do siebie, że powstają ich dziesiątki. Z kilku wersji „Jane Eyre” wybieramy tę z 2006 roku. Miniserial z Ruth Wilson w roli głównej odstaje od wcześniejszych pozycji, bo atmosfera produkcji jest iście mroczna. Czasy wiktoriańskie w bardzo tajemniczej odsłonie przypadną do gustu każdemu, komu brakuje dreszczyka emocji. Jest też skomplikowany, wciągający romans i mgliste, brytyjskie krajobrazy. Do seansu przyda się filiżanka gorącej, angielskiej herbaty. (Paulina Kulig) (Translation)

Donna Moderna (Italy) recommends visiting Brontë country:

Emozionanti e unici, i romanzi delle sorelle Brontë hanno segnato la storia della letteratura mondiale. Basi pensare a Jane Eyre o a Cime tempestose. Libri che sono accomunati da un elemento: la presenza della brughiera. In tutti questi romanzi infatti troviamo questi paesaggi con prati sconfinati spazzati dal vento. Gli stessi presenti fra la West Yorkshire e la East Lancashire Pennines, regione che ha ispirato le due sorelle. Se sogni un viaggio romantico fra le location dei romance più belli mai letti, preparati a visitare il villaggio di Haworth, in cui Emily, Charlotte e Anne hanno vissuto. Da non perdere una tappa al Top Withens, casa colonica che avrebbe ispirato l’ambientazione di Cime Tempestose. A Thornton, alla periferia di Bradford, si trova invece il luogo in cui sarebbero nate le sorelle Brontë. Nella zona si trova il Brontë Parsonage Museum, realizzato proprio dove le tre donne scrivevano e vivevano. Il museo presenta l’arredamento dell’epoca: il tavolo da pranzo in cui sedevano le sorelle, le credenze e il divano verde su cui sarebbe morta Emily. (Maura Battistini) (Translation)

Ciao Como reviews the play Storia di un no:

“Storia di un no” racconta di Martina che ha quattordici anni, una pianta carnivora di nome Yvonne e delle cuffiette bianche. Martina non ha vestiti firmati, non ha il motorino e non ha la mamma. Ma Storia di un no racconta anche del papà di Martina, che lavora da casa, ama “Cime tempestose” e cucina la lasagna ogni volta che c’è qualcosa di importante da festeggiare.
