Visions of Jane Eyre: On Mothers, Labor, and the Places Children HideLesley Jenike: "We might say these are my children or this is my country, but we’re only fooling ourselves."
A celebration of Emily Brontë’s birth has been organised in partnership with the Bronte Parsonage Museum and will be held in July 30. (Chris Young)
BuzzFeed and Bustle recommend What Souls are Made of by Tasha Suri
After being abandoned by his father, a Lascar (a sailor from India), Heathcliff has spent most of his time being treated as an outsider. Now living in the Yorkshire moors, and treated poorly, he finds solace with Catherine, the younger child of the estate's owner. The pair spend more time together, connecting over his missing father and her mother that no one speaks of, until the death of Catherine's father, which brings the household treatment of Heathcliff to a disastrous peak. This remix of Wuthering Heights is an epic piece of historical fiction, and a testament to Suri's incredible storytelling skills. (Rachel Strolle)
From the author of The Jasmine Throne comes this compelling Wuthering Heights retelling. In What Souls Are Made Of, Heathcliff is the abandoned son of an Indian seaman, and woefully out of place in his new home: an estate in the Yorkshire moors. There, he meets, Catherine, the daughter of the estate’s owner. The two bond over their missing parents’ shared language, even as fate tries to pull them into two disparate worlds. (K.M. Colyard)
The book is also reviewed on Readingstewardess.
I always knew I was addicted to love. For as long as I can remember, I needed to be in a relationship or, at the very least, I needed someone to pine over like a Brontë character, but with more booze and more sex. (Beatriz Verneaux)
Spearheading the ‘artpop’ scene in the 1980s, Kate Bush has enjoyed 50 steady decades of loyal fans. Enchanting eager listeners with her famous account of Brontë’s ‘Wiley windy moors’, her popularity has been a constant feature of British music since her first appearance. (Thea Redmill)
Like the grand seaside lodges of the 19th century after which the Ritz is modeled, the hotel is secluded and romantic. If Emily Brontë had set her Wuthering Heights on the English coast instead of its moors, it would feel just like this. (Shoshi Parks)
"It was an opportunity to live out all my imaginings as an avid reader as a child," Ashton told us of the ever-increasingly popular genre. "You are reading Jane Austen, and you are reading the Brontë sisters, and you are injecting yourself into those stories — Shakespeare, the same." (Louisa Marshall)
When you’re a heroin addict, one thing you have plenty of is time. You spend much of your days waiting on park benches or in alleys for dealers to arrive with your daily bread. And it’s a fact of life that the addict is always early and the dealer always, always late. So how better to pass the time than by becoming absorbed in the story of Jane Eyre’s tribulations, or Elizabeth Bennett’s dilemmas, or Jay Gatsby’s adventures?
Anne is very unlike a typical Austen protagonist. She might be more similar to Charlotte Brontë's most famous heroine, Jane Eyre, to be honest — carrying herself with an air of melancholy that feels a bit more mundane and beaten-down than wildly tragic. (Hoai-Tran Bui)
1. Keighley and Worth, Yorkshire
Summer 2022 sees the Return of the Railway Children, based on a story by Edith Nesbit. It was first made into a classic film in 1970 and was filmed on the Keighley and Worth railway. The line is no stranger to compelling fiction, with one of its stops being Haworth: the home of the Brontë sisters. The steam railway was originally funded by local mill owners and runs for five miles between Oxenhope and Keighley. Train buffs particularly love its wuthering heights, with great pillars of steam and the sound of the hard-working locomotives echoing off steep valley sides. The Dales National Park lies just north.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Brontë’s classic tale of Jane and Mr. Rochester is known as one of the most famous romance novels of all time. You may recognize the voice of Thandiwe Newton from movies like Mission Impossible 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story. (Maggie Marystone)
Our staff recommender’s favorite non-series read by Porter is “The Flight of Gemma Hardy" (AudioGO, 2012) by Margot Livesey, a 1960s retelling of Jane Eyre: “I picked this book up without realizing [Porter] read it, and it was like running into an old friend on the street after years of being apart.” (Carren Summerfield)
Elle Mannion: There are some very cinematic elements to the production on the album, especially on "Honey Understand." It sounds to me like this music creates a space to explore a lot of different narratives or even shapes your life could take. Was that intentional?
I actually wrote, like, 10 seasons of this Korean drama screenplay [during quarantine]. The quality of the writing is questionable, but it was so fun for me to do that because I wasn't having any experiences in the outside world. And I wrote "Honey Understand" from the perspective of the characters in that screenplay. I don't think songwriting has to be intense in order to be valid. Like, Kate Bush wrote Wuthering Heights about the book and sang from the perspective of the character in the book, changed her vocal tone and everything!
7. Jane Eyre was a revolutionary book at the time, deftly tackling subjects like sexuality, religion, and classism. According to Britannica, Jane Eyre is an underprivileged young orphan seeking work and finding much more than she bargained for when visiting the mysterious Mr. Rochester's house. Jane, who is unsure and innocent, is drawn to her menacing employer like a magnet. The resolute, headstrong, yet utterly ordinary Jane is a rebellious breath of fresh air, especially considering that she was written when most romantic protagonists were mystically lovely. This book redefines what romance should be, with an estimated 2 million copies sold. Because of this, readers continue to like it now, more than a century later. (Angela Natividad)
Rodiště Jany Eyrové i Drákuly. Poznejte malebný a tajuplný YorkshireNekonečné mokřady, zříceniny klášterů i atmosférické vesničky – není divu, že je Yorkshire místem, které podněcuje fantazii. Zdejší scenérie inspirovaly velké spisovatele včetně Brama Stokera a Charlotte Brontëové. Turisticky se přitom jedná o podceňovanou a málo známou destinaci. (...)Šedá obloha zkrátka k Yorkshiru patří a bez ní by to nebylo ono. Že si s nimi živly zahrávají, měly jistojistě pocit i slavné sestry Brontëovy, které většinu svých zoufale krátkých životů strávily na faře v Haworthu v hrabství Západní Yorkshire, kde byl jejich otec knězem. Jen se zkuste začíst do románu Na Větrné hůrce od prostřední ze sester Emily – delší pobyt na dešti a nemilosrdném větru tu nejednu postavu stál život. ( Karolína Sýkorová) (Translation)
Morgana. Storie di ragazze che tua madre non approverebbe esce nel 2019. È, questo, un libro scritto a quattro mani da Michela Murgia e Chiara Tagliaferri. A illustrarlo, MP5. A essere raccontate, le storie di alcune donne, le “ragazze che tua madre non approverebbe” evocate nel titolo. In origine, il podcast Morgana di Michela Murgia e Chiara Tagliaferri. Da lì, questo libro. Tra le protagoniste ci sono le sorelle Brontë (Charlotte, l’autrice del romanzo Jane Eyre, Emily, scrittrice di Cime Tempestose, e Anne, autrice di Agnes Grey), la cantante, attrice e modella Grace Jones e l’artista Marina Abramovic. Una raccolta di ritratti, dunque, quella qui proposta da Michela Murgia e Chiara Tagliaferri. (Translation)
Tyvärr är Hjörleifsdottir övertydlig. Hon litar så starkt på igenkänningsfaktorn att hon blir lat och inte orkar suggerera fram den utstrålning hos killen som gör att Lilja ger sig in i det giftiga känslospelet. Det är en urgammal manlig utstrålning, den rebelliska, demoniska, arroganta – tänk Rochester i ”Jane Eyre” eller plotten i Harlekinromaner, där allt går ut på att tämja en bortvänd vilding. (Aase Berg) (Translation)
Wuthering Heights, su primer single y el más exitoso hasta la revolución de Stranger Things, ha crecido en las búsquedas de Google un 350%. (Guillermina Carro) (Translation)
Cuba News (Cuba) reviews Nada by Carmen Laforet:
Muchos han comparado esta novela con la conocida Cumbres borrascosas de la maravilla de un solo éxito Emily Brontë, y es cierto. Andrea vendría siendo una especie de Lockwood, que llega a la casa familiar para encontrarse a sus amargadas tía, abuela y tía política, en esa casona lúgubre y venida a menos, en esa Barcelona decadente de la post guerra, tan machacada por la precariedad, el hambre y la desesperación. Los tíos de Andrea, Juan y Román, vendrían siendo una especie de Hindley y Heathcliff, enemigos bajo un mismo techo, y con un interés romántico en común, Gloria, amargados a más no poder. Como en Cumbres borrascosas, en Nada se nos presenta una retorcida historia de fondo llena de rencores y plagada de locura, desencuentros y huidas. (Andrés Gómez Quevedo) (Translation)
