Calling all the Gothic Lovers

 Oakwell Hall as a film or TV location in Yorkshire Live:

What do Jenna Coleman, Kit Harington and Charlotte Brontë have in common?

They've all played a part in making the already legendary Oakwell Hall more legendary. Scenes for Victoria, starring Jenna Coleman, and Gunpowder, starring Kit Harington, were filmed there. Charlotte Brontë, of the famous Brontë sisters, visited the hall which served as the inspiration for 'Fieldhead' in her 1849 novel Shirley. (Dave Himelfield)

Deadline on the second season of World on Fire: 

Bowker posted this season 2 tease on the PBS website: “In Season 2, Kasia and Lois will meet, and the fallout from that, I think for everybody, will be interesting and fascinating. Season 2 will start, historically, with the blitz in the Northwest of England. And North Africa will be very much the field of battle. We’ll find out more about Webster’s family history. Nancy will finally have to leave Berlin near the start of the series, for crossing a line, and we will also find out more about Nancy. And she will carry on. She will definitely be in the Soviet Union for some of it. So yeah, that’s the shape it’s taking. And Lois, of course, trapped in a rather Brontë-esque, loveless marriage with Vernon.” (Lynette Rice)

Stylist publishes some TV, film or literary locations to visit this summer: 

Haworth, Yorkshire 

Calling all the gothic Wuthering Heights lovers – Haworth is for you. The small village in Yorkshire was home to the Brontë sisters – Emily, Charlotte and Anne – when they wrote their most definitive works. Brush up on your Brontë knowledge at the Parsonage Museum or simply enjoy strolling the streets and enjoying the delights of one of their many tearooms. (Jess Bacon)

The Irish Examiner interviews the publishing director of Eriu, Deirdre Nolan: 

What three books would you bring to a desert island?

(...) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, which I can constantly reread — she has such an understanding of what it is like to be a woman.

Even though in modern life we don’t have anything like the level of frustrations Jane Eyre would have had, I can still very much relate to her. 

The Institute for Family Studies thinks that gender matters in education:

The best way to get boys excited about Jane Eyre and Emily Dickinson is different from the best way to get girls excited about Jane Eyre and Emily Dickinson. (Leonard Sax)

We get it. It's basically correct. But it's an idea that can go wrong so easily and so quick that has to be treated with extreme care. 

The scariest episodes of Star Trek in Movieweb:

 In deep space, starships often encounter hostile aliens and disturbing space anomalies, and in Star Trek: Voyager’s season-two episode, "Persistence of Vision," the crew members, stranded on the other side of the galaxy, pass through the territory of a psychic being that telepathically attacks them, causing them to suffer from disturbing delusions and hallucinations. Even Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) isn’t spared, as she begins “seeing” her ex-fiancé and “witnesses” characters from her period holodeck program, inspired by Jane Eyre, come to life. (Mona Bassil)

The Times of India lists some novels 'being adapted for the screen in 2023'. Confusingly, Wuthering Heights is among them:

Emily Brontë's classic 'Wuthering Heights' revolves around the passionate and tumultuous love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, an orphaned boy adopted by Catherine's family. Set against the backdrop of the desolate Yorkshire moors, the novel explores themes of love, revenge, social class, and the destructive power of obsession.

L'Est Républicain talks about the recent talk by Dean De La Motte at the Librairie Les Cyclamens in Luxeuil-les-Bains:

Qui ne connaît les sœurs Brontë et qui n’a vu traîner sur une étagère ce pavé « Jane Eyre » de Charlotte, une œuvre qui rencontre immédiatement le succès, ou les Hauts de Hurlevent d’Emily, qui a récemment inspiré le compositeur Bernard Herrmann pour un opéra ? (Translation)

SEM México (México) reviews a new translation of Virginia Woolf's Three Guineas: 

Lo mismo ocurrió con la desafortunada Charlotte Brontë ante las fuertes emociones de su padre (el calmado y reflexivo reverendo Patrick Brontë) cuando le comentó que Arthur Nicholls quería casarse con ella. Brotaron de él oscuras e inconscientes emociones, marejadas de ira e indignación ante la sucia idea de que su hija se casara. Con estos y otros ejemplos, Woolf concluye que es la sociedad patriarcal, con todas sus instituciones y sus leyes, explicitas o tácitas, quien cobija y alimenta la “fijación infantil”. (Marcela Eternod Aramburu) (Translation)

La Nueva Crónica (Spain) mentions that the Brontës are one of the influences of the writer Cristina Flantains. Keighley News reports the reactions (not good) to the increased charges at some Bradford Council-run car parks, particularly Haworth's. Eyre Buds reviews Wuthering Heights 1992.
