Daring to Embrace Her True Nature

The Nerd Daily interviews the author Natasha Lester:

Elise Dumpleton· Book that made me want to become an author

N.L.: Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë.

Films made in the Bradford district in The Telegraph & Argus:

[The Railway Children Return] Director Morgan Matthews said most filming took place locally, at locations including the Bronte Parsonage Museum: “So much of the story came from the geography. We were lucky to still have locations people recognise from the original.”

Producer Jemma Rodgers added: “I lived near Haworth and I know these locations. There’s something very rugged, gritty and resilient about them, even the way the trees are bowed. It meant everything to film here - that and the fact that Jenny, who gets offered so much ‘Railway Children’ stuff, saw something so appealing in it. And the railway is a gift!”

Also shot in and around Haworth was Emily, released in October, with a preview at Skipton’s Plaza Cinema. Starring Emma Mackey of Netflix hit Sex Education and Line of Duty actor Adrian Dunbar, the film is an imagined account of how Emily Brontë came to write Wuthering Heights.

The directorial debut of actress Frances O’Connor explores the relationships that inspired Emily - her “raw, passionate sisterhood” with Charlotte and Anne, her forbidden love for curate William Weightman and her adoration of Branwell, her maverick brother. Says Frances: “Emily’s story is about a young woman daring to form herself, to embrace her true nature.” (Emma Clayton)

ABC4 talks about this paper of 2016 on the types of stories' plots:

You read that right. Researchers analyzed over 1,700 novels and revealed that consistently, books go into one of six plots. 

Rise-fall-Rise

This story is called the “Cinderella” story for its happy start, then drop, and then finally to a happily ever after. This is the most common genre, often found in love stories, sports stories, Disney movies, and other stories that have happy endings. 

Some examples of this include:

dequeruza.ar talks about Jessie Kilguss's cover of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights:

To kick off the new year, NYC indie folk-pop artist Jessie Kilguss has unveiled the video for her gentle and sanguine acoustic rendition of ‘Wuthering Heights’, first made famous by Kate Bush.

“Alex Dar, a Russian artist, made the video. He’d never heard of Kate Bush’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ or the novel by Emily Brontë. I told him the story of the book and song and sent him some photos I’ve taken in Ireland over the years, many of the ruin of Clifden Castle. He came up with something unique. I like that he didn’t have Kate Bush’s brilliant videos for this song as a reference for what he created. I like that he didn’t know her incredible original version of the song either. It meant he had to create something from scratch from my version of the song and from the photos and storyline I told him,” says Jessie Kilguss.

The premiere of Emily in different countries is mentioned in several news outlets:

La película cuenta la vida imaginada de una de las autoras más famosas del mundo, Emily Brontë. La joven, que falleció a la temprana edad de 30 años, fue una rebelde e inadaptada a su tiempo y encontraría su voz al escribir el clásico literario ‘Cumbres borrascosas’. La película explora las relaciones que la inspiraron, tanto con sus hermanas Charlotte y Anne como con su malogrado primer amor, además de la especial amistad y complicidad que le unían a su inconformista hermano Branwell, a quien Emily idolatraba.

A segunda grande estreia que chega aqui no interior com bem poucas sessões é o filme “Emily”, que vai trabalhar a biografia de Emily Bronte, a famosa escritora do livro “O Morro dos Ventos Uivantes”, mostrando a sua jornada transformadora, emocionante e edificante para a feminilidade de uma garota rebelde e desajustada, que infelizmente morreu bem cedo aos 30 anos.

Younipa (Italy) discusses "the female sex between objectivization and shame":

 L’idea della donna come entità a servizio di un altro e mai come soggetto a sé viene contestata da più intellettuali già dal secondo dopo guerra: quest’idea è difatti tanto radicalizzata quanto diffusa, tant’è che si possono trovare altri strascichi di pensiero in testimonianze risalenti al periodo colonialista (es. “Jane Eyre” di Charlotte Brontë riprende quest’opposizione sia in termini di genere che in termini di etnia).

¡Hola! (Spain) talks about the actress Melis Sezen:

f21 (Hungary) interviews the writer Kiss Judit Ágnes:

Király Csenge Katica: Volt olyan – akár férfi, akár női – irodalmi alak, esetleg olyan sorstörténés, ami nagyon személyesen hatott rád?

K.J.A.: Gyerekként Jane Eyre és Szabó Magda női alakjai. Eyre-nél a női sors, Szabó Magdánál az írói nyelv. A Születésnap, az Abigél, az Álarcosbál erősebben hatottak a stílussal, mint a női vagy kislányfigurák által. (Translation)
