Lucy Powrie was 15 years old when she first read Anne Brontë’s 1847 novel Agnes Grey and instantly, intensely, fell in love. “There was just this moment of, I suppose, feeling like I’d come home. I’d found something that was just better than anything I had ever found in my life.”Already a wildly enthusiastic reader, she had been blogging about books since the age of 12, and hosting a book review channel on YouTube since she was 13. Discovering Anne Brontë, followed immediately by her older sisters Emily and Charlotte, opened the door to a new world: “They were everything that I didn’t realise was out there.”She started talking about them on her blog and channel, “and I realised very quickly that there were a lot of people who also loved the Brontës and wanted to talk about them because they didn’t have anybody to talk about them with [either].”Powrie is still only 25 but – as is doubtless apparent – she is not a person who believes in hanging around. In October she was appointed the chair of the Brontë Parsonage Museum at the family’s former home in Haworth, making her the youngest leader of one of the oldest literary societies in the world. She is now the guardian of the legacy of some of the most fiercely loved writers in all of English literature. (Read more) (Esther Addley)

Eggers wanted to retell “Nosferatu” through Ellen’s eyes to add “more emotional and psychological complexity,” he says. “It is the demon lover story. Like in ‘Wuthering Heights,’ does Heathcliff love Cathy or does he want to possess and destroy her? (Brian Truitt)
Prelude to Ecstasy - The Last Dinner PartyMaybe because it was because they looked like a bunch of Brontë heroines raiding the dressing-up box or maybe it was because they did something as verboten as playing unironic, full blooded guitar solos, bu tThe Last Dinner Party seemed to get up a lot of people's noses this year.
