Get ahead of the hype

Remember Charlotte Brontë's villa in New York? Realtor announces that there are some units available in the market:

For decades, onlookers have stood at the gates of Villa Charlotte Brontë and wondered what it might be like to live inside the iconic co-op.

Listings at the nearly 100-year-old complex have been historically scarce — but the tides appear to the turning. (...)

“Usually this does not happen,” Linda Justus, a longtime broker for the co-op’s property manager, Robert E. Hill, told The Post. 

“There are years when you cannot find one property [at Villa Charlotte Brontë].” (...)

But insiders agree that a home there remains a rare asset, which is often held on to for decades. With its unique facade, large interior spaces, sweeping river views and 40-minute commute to Grand Central, Villa Charlotte Brontë has few peers. (Emily Davis)

ArtReview reviews the exhibition Postures: Jean Rhys in the Modern World at Michael Werner Gallery, London.

She also started to write fiction. It would be four decades until she published her most successful book, Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), a prequel to Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre set in Jamaica, telling the story of Mr Rochester’s first wife. Wide Sargasso Sea brought Rhys fame at last, and is now regularly cited as one of the best novels of the twentieth century. (Michael Caines)

inStyle lists 'topical couples costumes inspired by the year's biggest pop culture moments': 

Heathcliff and Catherine in Wuthering Heights

Of all the classic English romance novels, Wuthering Heights has a distinctly gothic feel. What's more romantic than a character so in love he begs his lover's ghost to haunt him? What's more fitting for Halloween than a pair of star-crossed lovers who can only unite in death? This winter, Emerald Fennell's adaptation of the classic novel will debut starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Get ahead of the hype with this romantic costume. (Julia Guerra, Natalie Arroyo Camacho, and Emily Kelleher)

CBR talks about Tim Burton's Corpse Bride:

Much like Bride of Frankenstein is a sequel of sorts to the initial narrative, Corpse Bride essentially takes place after the initial Frankenweenie. Here, Victor is all grown up, seemingly leaving the experimentation of his youth behind. His connection to the undead is still strong, and he is drawn into an unrequited love story with Emily. That unrequited element really is so gothic and could be compared to the likes of Wuthering Heights. (Georges Chrysostomou)

Bay Area Reporter reports some 'sapphically gothic' novels in October:

Carmella Lowkis’ sophomore book is like a sapphic Jane Eyre. “A Slow and Secret Poison” is like a trick of the light in a decrepit room. Everything is certainly not as it appears, and covered in spiderwebs. Lowkis continues to tread the waters of historical fiction, as her first novel follows two estranged sisters in 19th-century Paris. (Meg Collins)

The Sunday Times lists Sally Wainwright's shows:

To Walk Invisible

 Written and directed by Wainwright, this TV movie concentrates on the relationship between the three Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, and their brother, Branwell. With Branwell’s health in decline, the sisters need to find a way to improve their fortunes and soon realise that writing can change their lives. This is the story of their path to literary greatness and their pursuit of recognition in a male-dominated world. (Tim Glanfield)
