The Magical and the Fictional

Far Out Magazine talks about Disney's influences on Kate Bush:

The music of Kate Bush often channels the magical and the fictional. Her debut single, ‘Wuthering Heights’, took on the persona of Catherine Earnshaw from Emily Brontë’s novel of the same name. Over glistening instrumentals, Bush’s soaring vocals declare, “Heathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy, I’ve come home, I’m so cold, let me in your window”.  (Elle Palmer)

More music. NME publishes an article about the band English Teacher which we featured some weeks ago:

A fortnight before they hit Reading Festival, the band unveiled ‘The World’s Biggest Paving Slab’, their first single via Island Records, home to The Last Dinner Party and FLO. With references to Fontaine’s hometown of Colne, alongside Northern forebear Charlotte Brontë, the propulsive track has become a comforting presence amid the big life changes the band have weathered in recent months.

The Irish Examiner is, we think, a bit confused:

Some, like Charlotte Brontë and Edgar Allan Poe, simply died after their initial outing into fiction, although Poe’s specialism had always been the short story or novella, rather than the full-length novel. (Terry Prone)

Maybe they mean Emily?  

The Washington Post gives the answer to yesterday's Trade Books crossword:

78A: [Anne Brontë novel about actress Moorehead when she appears to be ashen in color?] is “GREY AGNES,” brd on “Agnes Grey.” (Evan Birnholz)

Archiportale (Italy) recommends staying at the Brontë School House in Cowan Bridge, now a holiday cottage accommodation:

La scuola delle sorelle Brontë

Gli appassionati di letteratura ameranno questo cottage nella campagna inglese: nell’Ottocento Charlotte ed Emily Brontë venivano a studiare proprio qui, in quella che un tempo era la Clergy Daughters’ School! Posizionato in un punto strategico, è ideale per visitare i parchi nazionali delle Yorkshire Dales e del Lake District.

Dove: Cowan Bridge, Regno Unito (Rossana Vinci) (Translation)

Italian screenings of Emily in Lecco Notizie (Italy). Among the many, many names mentioned in an article in Diario Norte (Argentina) about writers you should read, Alberto Solis Bonastre includes all the Brontë sisters.
