Truffaut's Brontë Presents, A Brontë Buried in the Wrong Place and Jane Eyre as English Teacher

Daily Express quotes some random people in socials vindicating Wuthering Heights 2009, the one with Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley:

Tom Hardy stars in an “unbeatable” period drama fans have branded “incredible”, with some claiming it’s the best adaptation of all time. Based on a beloved Emily Brontë novel, the 2009 release sees Hardy star opposite Andrew Lincoln, Sarah Lancashire, Charlotte Riley and Jack O’Connell. (...) Hardy looks completely unrecognisable in the series with shoulder-length brown curls – a strong departure from his usual buzz cut. (Jess Phillips)

Le Monde reports the obsession that film director François Truffaut had with actress Isabelle Adjani, until he directed her in L'Histoire d'Adèle H: 

A cette époque, aucun comédien du Français ne mène une carrière parallèle au cinéma. François Truffaut poursuit alors sa cour assidue. Il envoie chez les parents de l’actrice, à Gennevilliers (Hauts-de-Seine), un gigantesque colis. A l’intérieur, des coffrets sur les sœurs Brontë, des reliures très belles. « Pour une jeune fille mineure, la majorité étant alors fixée à 21 ans, c’était assez féerique de recevoir ça chez mes parents. Dans l’appartement modeste surgit tout d’un coup un énorme colis, très beau », se souvient Adjani. (Samuel Blumenfeld) (Translation)

Quite prophetic, as Isabelle Adjani played Emily Brontë in Les Soeurs Brontë 1979, directed by André Téchiné. 

The Oldham Times recommends a visit to Haworth, but the article could have been more accurate:

With a rich history and beautiful landscapes, the village of Haworth, around an hour from the borough, offers plenty for families during the summer holidays.

Haworth is most well known as the home of the Brontë sisters, who wrote the likes of Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, as well as being talented artists and musicians. 

The sisters lived at the top of the hill, which Haworth's main street runs up, and the house remains there today as the Brontë Parsonage Museum and has been preserved to remain accurate to how it was when they lived in it.  (...)

For the history lovers, there is also St Michael and All Angels Church, which dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries. 

The church is intertwined with the history of the Brontës, as their father, Patrick, was the vicar there for 41 years from 1820.

All of the family, except Emily Brontë (!!!!), are interred at the church in the family tomb. (Jessica Rothwell)

Not Emily, but Anne. 

Good rainy-day reads, according to The Philippines Star:

1. 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Brontë

This immersive and captivating classic by Charlotte Brontë would not last all these years, decades even, if it isn’t a good read.

A gripping story about a willful governess that has captured the imagination of generations of readers, it also happens to end and begin with rain (the last lines of which might make you ugly-cry with joy).

If you are a fan of this book, consider picking it up again reliving the story on a rainy day.  (Dolly Dy-Zulueta)

That Eric Alper interviews the singer and songwriter Sebastian Schub:

It took Seb time and effort to find his lyrical voice, too. “English isn’t really my language and I didn’t speak it until I was 15,” he says, “so I wasn’t really thinking about lyrics much when I started.” He studied English Literature, giving him a greater grasp of the language’s nuances and power. “I read Jane Eyre four times – in English, in German, in English and then in English again, just to get it. It’s work that’s really paid off. It took a long time, but now I can really trust that I know how to talk and write now.”

Shawangunk Journal recommends some novels:

The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden
Winner of this year's Women's Prize for Fiction, this delicious debut was written by the Dutch Jewish writing teacher Yael van der Wouden. For me, it felt close to biblical with dialogue like Jane Eyre and romantic dynamics like Pride and Prejudice or The Taming of the Shrew, in a 1960's Euro-sapphic reincarnation.

More recommendations from Epigram:

Despite studying English at university, I have not read many of the so-called classics. Only this summer did I pick up Jane Eyre, not because it was on my course reading list but simply because my mum recommended it. (...)

Whilst I have very little idea about what to do with my English degree once my final year is over, I am so glad I picked this subject. The books and authors I have discovered through this course have showed me that there is so much more to reading than the literary canon. I do still enjoy watching Shakespeare, and Jane Eyre was brilliantly written, but there are other novels and plays out there too. (Kashvi Cox)
