Sometimes I see Wind farms

Haworth's Mass Wuther Flash Mob on the BBC:

Organiser Clare Shaw said she was "absolutely delighted by the scale, nature and success of the event", with people coming from the United States and Italy.

Ms Shaw set up the event as she wanted to celebrate Bush and Brontë's cultural heritage, but also to highlight local objections to a planned windfarm development in the area.

Walshaw Moor, an area near Top Withens - believed to be Brontë's inspiration for the Wuthering Heights farmhouse - is earmarked as the site of 41 turbines planned by Calderdale Energy Park.

The company's first consultation on the project ended on 10 June.

Ms Shaw said she supported green energy, but not "in a really important ecological and cultural site". (Julia Bryson) 

Still on the windfarm topic, Windpower Monthly talks about the opposition to the Calderdale Energy Pack project:

The Calderdale Energy Park project would see a 300MW wind farm built on Walshaw Moor in West Yorkshire, which is famous as a likely inspiration for Emily Brontë’s 19th century classic of English literature Wuthering Heights. (...)

Campaigners argue that the location of the wind farm on peat deposits undermines its environmental credentials. 

Peat is a natural carbon sink, and campaigners argue that its construction would lead to the draining of the peat deposits, causing a negative impact on the wind farm’s potential to reduce carbon emissions. 

“Calderdale Energy Park will destroy vast areas of deep peat by direct excavation and subsequent drying… Wind farms drain peat and make it more likely to burn. The cheapest thing the UK can do to avert the next climate change tipping point is to rewet our blanket bogs, not dry them out,” a spokesperson for the Stop Calderdale Wind Farm campaign told Windpower Monthly. (...)

The developer maintains it is engaging with local concerns about the potential ecological impact of the wind farm. (...)

“We are committed to avoiding deep peat wherever practicable and minimising disturbance through careful siting of infrastructure and the use of low-impact construction techniques. We are also developing a comprehensive peat management plan.” (...)

The campaigners however seem unlikely to be persuaded by such reassurances. (...)

“We await a lawful public consultation on a properly designed wind farm,” a spokesperson for the group said. (Orlando Jenkinson)

Lancashire Post reviews the reissue of the novel The Hidden Girl by Lucinda Riley and Harry Whittaker:

The Hidden Girl – originally published as Hidden Beauty in 1993 under the name Lucinda Edmonds – was Riley’s second novel [.] (...) 

It had always been her intention to reintroduce Hidden Beauty to the world but she never had the opportunity so her (heroic!) son Harry Whittaker – co-author of the last Seven Sisters book, Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt – has once more stepped into the breach and reworked and reimagined this heartbreaking and hard-hitting lost treasure which transports us from the wilds of Yorkshire’s Brontë country in the 1970s and the glamorous catwalks of Milan to the horrors of the Treblinka extermination camp in wartime Poland.

Nerd Daily interviews the writer Allison Saft:

Elise Dumpleton: Can you tell us a bit about your worldbuilding process for Down Comes the Night?

A.S.: The bulk of my research was ‘scientific’ in nature. Wren is a magical doctor, and I wanted both her magic and her expertise to feel grounded. I learned a lot about anatomy and surgical procedures. I also did some period research; the book takes place in a very loose analogue to the Victorian era. The most fun part was reading tons of Gothic and sensation novels to absorb its conventions and atmosphere. Some of my favorites are The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, and Fingersmith by Sarah Waters.

The Yorkshire Post interviews yet another writer, Elaine Dacey:

Although raised in Wales and the South West of England, Elaine was inspired by Northern writers during her teens, when she read works by Yorkshire’s beloved Brontë sisters, as well as Ted Hughes and Barry Hines. (Laura Reid)

Derby World has several historic Derbyshire market towns and villages you should visit. Likr

Hathersage

The pretty village of Hathersage boasts rich historical, industrial and literary associations, said to be the inspiration behind Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece Jane Eyre. In and around the village are also areas associated with the legend of Robin Hood, whose lieutenant Little John is buried in the churchyard of St Michael’s. (Emma Walker)

The Bookseller talks about the upcoming publishing of the memoirs of Katharine Grant, Clinging to the Crags:

 “Set against the wild moors of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, Grant’s memoir is both explorational and comical, telling a story of champagne glasses and coal hods, ancient Agas and vinyl records, dead chickens and escaped horses, whiteways, blackways, miry ways, and the heartache generated by a father whose belief in male primogeniture was as implacable as the weather." (Lauren Brown)

Haddon Hall's use in some Jane Eyre adaptations is mentioned in New Idea.  Noir Magazine (México) list Wuthering Heights as one of he books that have inspired "iconic movies". Libreriamo (Italy) devotes a whole article to Emily Brontë's quote: "I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water."

In questa metafora liquida e cromatica, Emily Brontë dimostra una straordinaria sensibilità poetica. Il vino non distrugge l’acqua, non la rimuove: la attraversa e la tinge, come i sogni attraversano la mente. Ne emerge un’immagine di trasformazione silenziosa ma irreversibile. È un processo lento, graduale, impercettibile nell’immediato, ma assoluto nei suoi esiti. Una volta avvenuto, non si torna indietro. (Patrizio Lo Votrico) (Translation)
