Jackie Thomas: You were honoured and named the Yorkshire inspirational woman alongside notable figures like baroness Betty Boothroyd and the Brontë sisters. How did that make you feel?DM.F.: Seeing my name alongside Baroness Betty Boothroyd, The Brontë Sisters, and Dame Judi Dench was surreal. It filled me with pride and a sense of achievement to be named among the women I deeply admire and respect. It’s a memory I will always cherish.
Keighley and Worth, YorkshireThe Railway Children, based on a story by E Nesbit, was first made into a classic film in 1970 and was filmed on Yorkshire’s Keighley and Worth railway. This line is no stranger to compelling fiction, with one of its stops being Haworth: the home of the Brontë sisters. The steam railway was originally funded by local mill owners and runs for five miles between Oxenhope and Keighley. Train buffs particularly love its wuthering heights, with great pillars of steam and the sound of the hard-working locomotives echoing off steep valley sides. The Dales National Park lies just north.

Emily Brontë vivió tan solo 30 años, de manera tranquila y discreta, aunque legó uno de los libros que siguen editándose debido a su espléndida narrativa: Cumbres borrascosas, novela que nació como producto de un propósito común, acordado con sus dos hermanas, Charlotte y Anne, de escribir una novela cada una. Con esta edición conmemorativa del segundo centenario del nacimiento de Emily Brontë, ilustrada por Bastian Kupfer, Alianza Editorial celebra a la autora por todo lo alto. Ideal para coleccionistas y amantes de los libros bellos. (David Rocha Molina) (Translation)
More Bastian Kupfer illustrations of the book can be found on juliocesarabadvidal, Excentriks or on Tejiendo críticas en la sombra.
Sin ir más lejos, la escritora española Espido Freire ha sido una de las que más ha ahondado en su pasado. Su obra Querida Jane, querida Charlotte permite desvelar esta fascinación, no solo por Austen sino también por las hermanas Brontë, también coetáneas. Espido se adentra en el mundo, la vida y la obra de estas escritoras que con tan poco, aisladas, en una situación de precariedad, enfermedad y pobreza consiguieron escribir obras universales.

More Bridgerton than Jane Eyre or Austen, it includes a witty “D’Arcy coming out of the lake” moment to remind passengers about life vests. As is de rigeur with these films, it features real British Airways staff – 40 in total – but thankfully gets a good performance out of them, courtesy of director Sharon Maguire who is best known for the Bridget Jones movies.
