If Emily had not written that strange novel none of us will be reading this now

 WTNH's News8 looks into the women authors, and novels most assigned at Connecticut colleges:

The classics, while written over one hundred years ago, are still making an impact. Charlotte Brontë’s “Jayne Eyre,” (sic) “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Brontë, and Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” and “Emma” were seen on multiple syllabi. (Olivia Perreault) 

Tipperary Live is excited about the upcoming Most Wuthering Heights Day:

So on Sunday July 30 at 3pm the Daughters hope to see the people of Cahir in their finest Kate Bush gear for a group performance of the Wuthering Height’s (sic) music and dance routine in the Inch Field. Local yoga and dance experts, Shelley Tobin and Sandra Quinn have choreographed the event and will guide everyone through the steps before the group en masse recreates the dance routine from Kate’s 1978 music video, inspired by Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel.

de Volkskrant (Netherlands) interviews the author Anjet Daanje (Djende Grondeen / Het lied van ooievaar en dromedaris) for her personal favourites:

Jane Eyre van Charlotte Brontë

Toen ik 16 was, las ik Jane Eyre voor mijn schoolonderzoek Engels. Charlotte Brontë was de eerste schrijver die het gevoelsleven van een vrouw realistisch durfde te beschrijven, iets wat bij het verschijnen van haar boek in 1847 maakte dat sommigen het een zeer ongepaste roman vonden. Het was jarenlang mijn lievelingsboek, en ik las rond mijn 17de daarom van alles over en van de Brontës, ook Wuthering Heights van Charlottes jongere zus, Emily. Maar omdat Wuthering Heights een afstandelijker boek is dan Jane Eyre sprak het me destijds minder aan.

Wuthering Heights van Emily Brontë

Na de dood van mijn ouders, toen ik inmiddels 52 was, verlangde ik terug naar mijn jeugd en besloot ik om eindelijk eens Juliet Barkers dikke biografie van de Brontës te lezen, die al jaren ongelezen in mijn boekenkast stond. Daarop raakte ik opnieuw gefascineerd door de Brontës. Ik was bang dat ik Jane Eyre, bij herlezing als volwassene, hopeloos romantisch zou vinden, maar het tegendeel was het geval. Zodoende herlas ik – met de ogen van een schrijver ditmaal – ook Wuthering Heights, en nu pas zag ik wat een fantastische, geheimzinnige, ­eigenzinnige en voor zijn tijd ongewoon moderne ­roman het is. Emily Brontë liet zich, zoals iedere schrijver, inspireren door haar voorgangers, maar creëerde vervolgens iets volstrekt nieuws, en ze was nog maar 27 jaar oud toen ze dat deed.

Exactly the opposite of the historian Sir Anthony Beevor, as interviewed in the Daily Mail:

What book left you cold?

I have tried, Emily Brontë, I have tried, but Wuthering Heights does not just leave me cold, it irritates me, as people of incontinent emotions just scream at each other.

Les Inrockuptibles (France) travels to the summer of 1981 and describes like this the actress Isabelle Adjani:

Un lyrisme venu de Musset, de Hugo, d’Emily Brontë, une ampleur inouïe dans la figuration des sentiments extrêmes exacerbent chacune de ses apparitions. (Jean-Marc Lalanne) (Translation)

Indeed she played Emily in Les Soeurs Brontë 1979. 

The Greenfield Recorder publishes an article replying to a previous column about mental health and makes a Brotntë reference:

These things still happen, but because of organizations like Clinical & Support Options (CSO), the community supports exist so that those who would have been locked up like Rochester’s wife in “Jane Eyre” in the halcyon days to which Mr. Huer wishes to return per his column “Living in the Venus flytrap: Our downward mental spiral,” [Recorder, July 15], are able to find help. (Stephen Ditmore)

Crime Reads recommends gothic horror novels for this summer:

 Within These Wicked Walls—Lauren Blackwood

This fresh take on Jane Eyre tells the tale of Andromeda, an almost-licensed debtera—Ethiopian exorcist—who has been called to the house of a wealthy young man in the hopes that she might cleanse the estate from the wicked spirits that haunt it. Even the house’s malevolence cannot dampen the attraction Andromeda feels for her new patron, giving readers a heated, aching romance to root for. (Erin A. Craig)

The Irish Times reviews The Family Plot by Clair Wills: 

Wills’ mother was an extra in Out of True (1951) an NHS instructional film made to destigmatise mental health. When the cigarette-puffing psychiatrist reassures a nervous husband about his wife’s electric shock treatment, “It will make her more herself”, this feels like the darkest noir. These eerie corridors leading to Bluebeard’s locked room are so familiar in literature and film from Jane Eyre to The Shining. (Martina Evans)

Decider discusses the latest episode of the TV Series And Just Like That...:

For And Just Like That… showrunner Michael Patrick King, this scene was the heart of the comic storyline. “The extreme comedy of Charlotte thinking she’s having a stroke and Harry thinking he’s losing the love of his life,” King said on the podcast. “We wanted to show an undying, like, epic Wuthering Heights, like, ‘Please don’t leave me,’ like Ghost [moment].” (Meghan O'Keefe)
