Taking to social media, one person wrote: "And this is why I don't watch Bridgerton or read any Jane Eyre or Brontë stuff. Can't stand tortuous corsetted c**p! #doctorwho." (Lucretia Munro)
The Brontës of Haworth is a very early series (1973) that was an ambitious attempt by writer Christopher Fry and director Marc Miller to create a fictional treatment of Elizabeth Gaskell's biographical book The Life of Charlotte Brontë. The series aimed to acknowledge Branwell Brontë's pivotal contributions to his sisters' literary accomplishments rather than write him off as a womanizing alcoholic.He was that, too, and he did seduce his married pupil Joanna Monro (Lydia Robinson), as shown here. Despite the terrible orange wig, Kitchen gives a commendable performance. The series also starred Vickery Turner as Charlotte, Anne Penfold as Ann, and Rosemary McHale as Emily. (Janet Mullany)
Most memorable literary character - and why.My answer, hands down, is Jane from Jane Eyre. The book was published in the 1800s and, during that phase, there were almost no books that painted a female literary character as a strong-willed person, let alone being portrayed as "equal to a man". Jane is a complicated yet remarkable character. Her strong-mindedness and her determination to do what is right are things that I admire the most!
A quaint Yorkshire village saw hundreds of people dressed up in an array of flamboyant and colourful costumes this bank holiday as Haworth’s Steampunk Weekend returned for its 12th anniversary. People from across the UK headed to the home of the Brontës to experience ghost tours, tribal dancing, a fun dog show, crown bowling, stalls and train rides. (Sophie Mei Lan)
I’ve been a reader for nearly all of my life, yet I always feel perplexed at the beginning of summer, when the term “beach reads” enters the chat. During the year’s colder months, bookworms are envisioned as contemplative folk who drink hot tea and snuggle up in leather-bound chairs with the complete works of the Brontë sisters. But as summer begins, our tea is supposed to become iced, our chairs foldable, and the Brontës are exchanged for something light, romantic, fizzy and fun. (Shannon Reed)
The second season of the show has moved from the quaint hotel north of Auckland (the location of the first season) to a manor in the deep south, which Henry describes as very Wuthering Heights with a dark past. (Ricardo Simich)
Pruning is another important area for rose care. Pointing at her David Austin Emily Brontë shrub rose, which was in full bloom during the Echo's visit, Karen says she "prunes it back in the autumn, by about half". (Katie Westwood)
