Dovedale is perfect for a stroll or exploration and over the years it has inspired a great many artworks and novels. Most famously, Dovedale appears in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and has featured in films such as Robin Hood, Jane Eyre and The Other Boleyn Girl. (Jaimie Key)The Stranger Things Kate Bush fever continues and Los Angeles Times recommends, of course, Wuthering Heights 1978:
As a precocious songwriter in the mid-1970s, Bush drew early attention from Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, and at 19 released her first album, 1978’s “The Kick Inside.” Bush charted her first British No. 1 that same year with “Wuthering Heights,” which was the first self-written song by a woman to do so. Named for an Emily Brontë novel, “Wuthering Heights” knocked ABBA’s “Take a Chance on Me” from the No. 1 spot due in large part to Bush’s performance on the TV show “Top of the Pops.” (Randall Roberts)
The fever continues in Pedestrian, La Página (El Salvador), Estado de Minas (Brazil), tportal (Croatia), Whiteboard Journal, La Scimmia Pensa (Italy), AV Club...
The writer Louisa Reid vindicates the poet Charlotte Mew in The Irish Times:I feel ashamed to admit that my first encounter with Charlotte Mew, the early 20th-century writer whose poetic legacy underpins the story of my novel in verse The Poet, was in a GCSE classroom, 20 years into my teaching career. Why had I never read this work before? Where had this writer been when I’d been studying for my degree? How had I failed to notice a poet with a skill to rival, if not surpass, that of Thomas Hardy? Why had no one ever said, if you love Emily Brontë, you must read Charlotte Mew?The Link talks reviews Rooms: Women, Writing, Woolf by Sina Queyras:
At many points throughout Rooms, Queyras questions academia and the English canon; “why was it I had to wait until the end of a two-semester survey course to encounter a woman writer?” (30) they write. Even though these were thoughts Queyras had as they undertook their undergraduate degree in the late 80s, the same question can be asked today, to Concordia’s English literature department. While there are courses on Joyce, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Tolkien, Spenser and Milton, there are no courses on Elliot, Dickinson, the Brontë sisters, Austen, or the subject of Queyras’ book, Woolf.

Mia’s bedroom is largely untouched. Her chemistry homework is half-finished in her exercise book and Jane Eyre sits among books on her shelf. Her swing is still in the garden. (Sian Griffiths)
It was during the same age that I was also struck up with Charlotte Brontte’s (sic) Jane Eyre and Daphne De Maurier’s Rebbeca (sic). It seems this was the age when I was relating to purity and ideal romance. It was much later that I would be able to relate to more pragmatic and reality-oriented versions of human relations.

Dans le Yorkshire du XIXe siècle en Angleterre, la famille Brontë est l’une des plus illustres. Le père est un révérend pasteur très respecté dans la communauté et le grand frère Branwell est un peintre très talentueux, mais aussi un écrivain débordant d’inspiration. Les trois sœurs Charlotte, Emily et Anne sont un peu introverties. Cependant, elles décident d’écrire pour transcrire leurs sentiments.

Jeg var 16. mai på Nationaltheatret sammen med ei god venninne og så stykket Jane Eyre. Helt fantastisk,- mektig bygning og et herlig teaterstykke. (Translation)
Fui entrando en la isla gallega y en la vida de Ricardo Pedreira Ulloa como cuando era chica y leía Robinson Crusoe”, La Isla del tesoro, o Cumbres Borrascosas. Sin juzgar el estilo literario, sin pensar en su estructura, sin analizar, solo dejarme llevar. (Vicky Rego) (Translation)
