Yorkshire's Most Famous Heroine

The Yorkshire Times publishes the news of the publication for the first time of The Book of Ryhmes by Charlotte Brontë:

In early 19th century Yorkshire, a 13-year-old girl named Charlotte wrote a tiny book of poetry in a manuscript no bigger than a playing card.

She inscribed the creation “‘Sold by Nobody, and Printed by Herself’.”

Nearly 200 years later and the teenager who created that endearing miniature book has been proved wrong many times over.

She was Charlotte Brontë, and her novels, of course, have been sold and printed thousands of times since their publication, with Jane Eyre in particular giving Yorkshire arguably its most famous heroine.

Now, that tiny manuscript - A Book of Ryhmes [sic] – will join Charlotte’s other works on the shelves of Brontë lovers across the world after it has been published for the first time.(Victoria Finan)

Boise State News interviews the writer, Cynthia Hand, co-author of My Plain Jane:

 In “My Plain Jane,” [a tale in which the fictional Jane Eyre meets up with the real Charlotte Brontë for a ghost hunt], I wrote the Charlotte character. One thing about her is that she hated to wear her glasses. She had them attached to a little stick of wood, like a wand. When she absolutely had to see, she would hold up the wand and look through the lenses. I wear thick glasses, myself, so I could relate. In writing these characters, I’ve had so much fun finding the small historical details like these and weaving them into our stories.

TimeOut interviews the singer CMAT (aka  Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson):

With an invigorating voice that sounds like it could belong to a 1950s starlet, she’s been compared to everyone from Dolly Parton, to Kesha and Kate Bush (Thompson is one of the few artists who can pull off the high warbles in ‘Wuthering Heights’, often working a cover of the song into her live shows).

The Lancashire Evening Post announces the July date for the Most Wuthering Heights Day event at Preston. Finally some links still exploiting the Wuthering Heights 2026 nonsense controversy (you know some random people (aka Wuthering Heights "online fan experts") saying random things (aka too old, too white, too tall, too thin, too wrong, too whatever) about some other people who are working in a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights): Elle, What Culture, Metro, newser, Comic Sands, Grazia Daily, Movieweb, Pedestrian, The News, The Nightly, Cinemablend, CBR, Paloma & Nacho, Mamamia (which actually argues for artistic freedom), Bestmovie, ComingSoon, TaxiDrivers, Movieplayer, CiakGeneration, Everyeye, Eco Del Cinema, ..
