When I was in Year 12 studying Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, there was a National Theatre Live performance of a recent adaptation showing at the cinema. Of course, we were encouraged to go along, and I was happy to oblige. I was expecting the style to be akin to the realist acting schools of Stanislavsky, the set faithfully portraying the various settings of Gateshead, Lowood, and Thornfield, with detail that reflected the book’s focus on the interior life of a governess. However, Sally Cookson’s direction transformed this strikingly realist, psychologically intimate text into an exceptionally physical, metamorphic world that accentuated the intense spirit and inner life of its protagonist. (...)Jane Eyre is hard to adapt for stage, considering its length, number of internal psychological experiences, and the subtleties of interactions that might be caught best on camera with lingering closeups. Yet, the way this production deals with the Bildungsroman story is precisely through leaning into its transitory nature. Intimate scenes exploring some of Jane’s key relationships with Helen or Rochester are marked out by their stillness and intimacy compared to the dynamic transitions, utilising music, physical theatre, and motifs, which bookend them.

So what are the key ingredients for cooking up a book nook? If it’s set within a panelled alcove or window seat, all you need is a collection of cushions and throws.

Carrie: I’m reading John Eyre by Mimi Matthews ( A | BN | K ). Not great as a Jane Eyre retelling (it lacks the character development) but a super fun spooky gothic! (Lynzie Montague)
El título de “La senda que deja el aire” ya evidencia un texto eminentemente poético, donde los personajes de Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre y Bertha Mason, se enfrentan en un duelo onírico. Cristina Pérez pone contra las cuerdas al conocido personaje de Jane Eyre, enfrentándola a una de sus peores pesadillas, Bertha, la mujer encerrada en el desván y esposa de su gran amor, Edward Rochester. Si bien la novela de “Jane Eyre” es considerada como protofeminista, por plantearse por vez primera una antiheroína que busca tomar las riendas de su destino y renuncia a matrimonios de conveniencia luchando por su independencia, en este casSo la autora ha preferido centrarse en el conflicto interno de la protagonista, cuando el día de su boda descubre que su marido ya estaba casado y se le aparece en sueños el fantasma de esta mujer enloquecida, que acaba prendiendo fuego a la mansión y suicidándose.

La literatura que yo leía cuando era chica, y un poco lo agradezco: me crié con las traducciones de la colección Robin Hood y las de Cátedra, con Edmundo de Amicis, Jonathan Swift, Jane Austen y las hermanas Brontë, con lenguajes que se sentían afectados, ajenos e inalcanzables, buscando lo lindo bien lejos de la naturalidad y de mi vida cotidiana.

Face au terme « passing », l’Irlando-éthiopienne Ruth Negga (« 12 Years A Slave », « Ad Astra ») pense à des personnages de fiction à l’origine cachée. « Dans des oeuvres contemporaines, je n’en vois pas. Mais en littérature, je citerais Heathcliff dans ‘Les Hauts du Hurlevent’; la femme dans le grenier dans ‘Jane Eyre’, ‘La Prisonnière des Sagasses’ de Jean Rhys… » (Translation)
