A Joy to Watch

Daily Express on the Brontë Way:

But there is another famous family of authors that have a trail named after them - the Brontë Sisters.  

The Brontë Way is a 43-mile trail that takes walkers through the heart of Brontë Country, connecting places tied to the lives and works of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë.

The journey starts at Oakwell Hall near Bradford, West Yorkshire, and ends at Gawthorpe Hall in Lancashire.

The trail is not only a tribute to the legacy of the Brontës but also passes stunning landscapes that inspired their novels.

Oakwell Hall, which appears as “Fieldhead” in Charlotte Brontë’s Shirley, marks the start of the trail.

From there, the path winds through charming villages, historic sites, and scenic moors. 

Key stops include the Brontë sisters' birthplace in Thornton and Haworth, home to the Brontë Parsonage Museum, where they wrote many of their celebrated works.

The journey also passes landmarks like the Brontë Waterfall and Top Withens, often linked to Wuthering Heights.  (Kris Boratyn) 

Of  course, many websites still announce the Valentine release of Wuthering Heights 2026:  The Pinnacle Gazette, Bangalore Mirror, Times of India, Live India, Hello!, Geo News, The News, Elle, India Today, The Shropshire Star, Newsbytes, Screenrant, Cinema Express, inkl, The Standard ... But arguably the best title around comes from Rayo: "Moor-go Robbie?"

Hindustan Times recommends films for the literature geek:

Wide Sargasso Sea (2006): Based on Jean Rhys's prequel to Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea explores themes of identity, race and colonialism, set in 1940s (sic) Jamaica. (Eshana Saha)

The Austin Chronicle reports the best in Arts in Austin this year:

 2. Austin Shakespeare’s Jane Eyre

The first time I saw work that broke boundaries and theatrical conventions was at London’s National Theatre. I fell in love. Naturally, this production, with Austin Shakespeare’s faithful National Theatre blocking and use of onstage musicians, appealed to me. It’s a viewing experience outside of your typical production expectations, and it was a joy to watch.

Crónica Global explains why R. Sykoriak's Masterpiece Comics was translated into Spanish, but never published:

La cosa consistía (y la idea me pareció brillantísima) en el acercamiento gráfico a algunos clásicos de la literatura a través de una adaptación totalmente chiflada al mundo del cómic.

Por ejemplo: (...) Cumbres borrascosas, de Emily Brontë, con el grafismo de los cómics de terror de EC de los años 50… Y así sucesivamente.

Se corría el riesgo de irritar a los devotos de la literatura y de aburrir al sector más simplón de los aficionados al cómic. Así pues, le quité de encima a Valerie la responsabilidad de hacerle un posible siete a la editorial para la que trabajaba y me llevé el libro a una de tebeos que dirigía un amigo, al que no me costó mucho convencer de que Masterpiece Comics le daría un poco de lustre a su empresa.

Traduje el libro (me lo pasé muy bien), cobré por mi trabajo y… Y luego no pasó nada. La editorial pasaba por una fase de descontrol sobre la que no me voy a extender y resultó que nadie había comprado los derechos de edición a Drawn & Quarterly. (Translation) (Ramón de España)
