What may surprise many is the village's unique literary connections, particularly to the esteemed Brontë sisters. It's thought that Charlotte Brontë's fondness for Hathersage, following her visit in 1845, inspired the settings and characters in her celebrated novel, Jane Eyre. (Emily Malia)
'Lovely' Yorkshire town perfect for getting people in the Christmas spirit
Locals in Haworth are full of praise for the town around Christmas time. (...)
There are other things to see and do in Haworth as well, from visiting historic sites linked to the Brontë sisters, to the Keighley and Worth Valley Heritage Railway. Added together, its a beautiful village, and it's sure to get anyone into a Christmas mood. (Sebastian McCormick)
The atmospheric moors above the village of Haworth formed the inspiration behind the writings of the Brontë sisters. More specifically this walk focuses on Wuthering Heights: dark, desolate but magnificent.
There are a number of car parks in Haworth. Choose one and head towards the church and the Brontë Parsonage. It is worth visiting the Parsonage before the walk to gain a feel for the tough upbringing the siblings had. In turn, this will bring a greater appreciation to the walk.
The path heads up the south side of St Michael and All Angels Church, an impressive building where the father of the Brontë sisters, Patrick, was Reverend for 41 years (and rather sadly outlived all six of his children). (Jonathan Smith)
To Walk Invisible
BBC4, [Wednesday, December 10] from 10pm
Sally Wainwright, the writer behind Riot Women, Happy Valley and Gentleman Jack delivered a beautiful and powerful film about the Brontë family in 2016. It highlights the multiple health problems of Anne, Charlotte and Emily, their brother, Branwell, and father, Patrick, plus the sisters’ spells as governesses and their efforts to get books including Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights published. (John Dugdale)
Meer sends the characters of
Wuthering Heights to therapy sessions. Boy, they need lots of them:
I kept imagining what it would be like if any of those characters went to therapy. Since that’s technically not possible, I am sending them to therapy myself, discussing their wrongs and giving my unsolicited advice on how to improve themselves.
Heathcliff
Heathcliff’s main issues include childhood trauma, abandonment problems, unhealthy romantic obsession, revenge addiction, unresolved anger issues, and even a gambling addiction. What he did wrong was making revenge his lifelong mission, ruining the lives of innocent people, forcing marriages, believing in ghosts, physically abusing multiple characters, and neglecting his own son. His therapy goals would be to resolve his traumas, learn how to cope with his emotions without hurting others, show affection without obsession, set life goals that don’t revolve around revenge, and most importantly, learn how to be a good parent.

La Voz de Galicia (Spain) talks about the novel La Señora de Pedramorta by Cati Calo:
Y esa curiosidad dispersa y fértil se cuela también en sus libros, donde conviven la historia, mitología gallega y las referencias literarias que han marcado su vida. «Soy fan absoluta de Jane Eyre, Cumbres Borrascosas, Otra vuelta de tuerca, Frankenstein.... Y también de Los pazos de Ulloa. Quería hacer algo gótico victoriano, pero con alma gallega», explica. (Begoña R. Sotelino) (Translation)
