Ligne Claire (France) gives 4.5 stars out of 5 to Paulina Spucches's Brontëana.
Une très bonne progression narrative et des couleur qui collent aux ambiances pas toujours très joyeuses mais bien réelles. (Translation)
Mashable looks into the ' hidden Poe references' in Netflix's Fall of the House of Usher.
The structure of the show itself — two men discussing the terrible, inexplicable, gruesome, and morbid happenings of the recent past, including a confession, beside a fire on a dark and stormy night — is pulled straight from multiple Poe stories and Gothic horror as a genre itself (hellooo, Wuthering Heights). (Shannon Connellan)
Coincidentally, Trinitonian discusses the Gothic horror genre.
Some Gothic classics that immediately come to a lot of people’s minds are “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë, “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley, “Dracula” by Bram, “Haunting of Hill House” by Shirley Jackson and everything Edgar Allen Poe has written. (Lottie Correia)
Far Out Magazine looks into 'The Stevie Nicks songs inspired by 'Wuthering Heights''.
To most music fans, Kate Bush is the inspiration behind Emily Brontë’s 1847 classic Wuthering Heights. Bush’s singular song adaptation was a number one hit in the UK in 1978 and remains one of her most beloved tracks. But she wasn’t the only artist who wrote songs based on Wuthering Heights. From Genesis’ ‘Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers’ to Death Cab For Cutie’s ‘Cath’, generations of musicians have taken Brontë’s classic work and created music out of it. In that tradition, Stevie Nicks found inspiration in the novel as well.
For the title track to her 1983 album The Wild Heart, Nicks pulled from her love of Wuthering Heights and her connection to New York. Whether she was trying to pull a fast one or just speaking metaphorically, Nicks claimed to have been born in the East Coast state during a 1983 interview just before the release of the parent album. [...]
For Nicks, the love of Wuthering Heights didn’t come from Brontë’s book. Instead, Nicks discovered the story through a film adaptation of the book. When Nicks wrote the accompanying booklet notes to the 2016 reissue of The Wild Heart, she didn’t specify if she was inspired by the 1939 film adaptation starring Laurence Olivier, the 1970 adaptation starring Timothy Dalton, or one of the many television adaptations over the years.
“I’d written ‘Wild Heart’ early on. I remember singing it during a Rolling Stone cover shoot for Bella Donna,” Nicks wrote in 2016. “And I wrote it completely and utterly about the movie Wuthering Heights. I wrote it about Heathcliff and Cathy, and the fact that they were one person, that they couldn’t be together and they couldn’t be separate, and about the power and the drama of the closing death bed scene… All those amazing things he says to her.” (Tyler Golsen)
Smithsonian magazine uses the 'Fall, leaves, fall' poem by Emily Brontë to accompany a set of autumn pictures.
