The connection between the landscape and literature cannot be ignored

Voice of Emirates (UAE) lists women's novels "that sparked controversy and brought about major transformations":

Jane Eyre – Charlotte Brontë (1847)

Charlotte Brontë presented an independent heroine who refused to submit to social constraints, a bold proposition at the time. Despite initial criticism, the novel later became one of the most prominent and influential English novels.

Wuthering Heights – Emily Brontë (1847)

The novel caused widespread shock due to its complex characters and gloomy atmosphere, but over time it has become one of the greatest romantic and psychological novels in world literature. (Medhat Elsheikh)

The Yorkshire Post publishes the frontal opposition of the Brontë Parsonage to the Calderdale Energy Park proposal:

Calderdale Energy Park: Brontë Parsonage 'totally opposed' to wind farm proposal

The director of Yorkshire’s Brontë Parsonage has said the group behind the museum is “totally opposed” to plans for the Calderdale Energy Park development.

Located in Haworth and previously home to the prolific family of writers, the Brontë Parsonage Museum is one of the region’s most well known attractions for tourists.

But according to the museum’s director, the proposed Calderdale Energy Park wind farm scheme could put tourist numbers at risk of dropping. The project would see the creation of around 34 wind turbines between Haworth and Hebden Bridge, standing at a maximum height of 200m.

In a statement given to The Yorkshire Post, Rebecca Yorke, director of the Brontë Parsonage Museum, said: “The Brontë Society is totally opposed to Calderdale Energy Park.

“The location is environmentally sensitive, and we believe the development would have a significant and detrimental impact on an iconic local viewpoint and world-renowned landscape.

“People walk the moorland between Haworth and Hebden Bridge for reflection, inspiration and to understand how the natural surroundings influenced the Brontes’ work; it’s a unique place which allows the literary tourist to physically travel through the landscapes of the Brontës’ imaginations and the worlds of their novels and poetry.

“The Museum welcomes over 75,000 visitors each year and for many of them, the walk to Top Withins from Haworth is a form of pilgrimage: the connection between the landscape and literature cannot be ignored.” (Michael Crossland)

Deadline mourns the death of Joe Caldwell, co-creator of the character of Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows: 

The vampire saved the show from imminent cancelation, prompting a spike in ratings and a new direction away from a moody Jane Eyre-like gothic romance style to outright supernatural (if unintentionally campy) horror. (Greg Evans) 

The Illawarra Flame interviews the writer Shady Cosgrove:

Elizabeth Heffernan: What is one book that changed your life?

Shady Cosgrove: I can’t limit it to one! My life was transformed by Jeanette Winterson’s The Passion, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea.

Cookie-Cutter psychology advice in Cosmopolitan (Spain): 

Si vives tu amor en plan Heathcliff y Catherine en 'Cumbres Borrascosas', como una tormenta de arrebatos emocionales y montándote una película mental 24/7 y conviertes un 'crush' platónico en 'ups & downs' anímicos para que tu objeto de deseo te corresponda, toca pararse a reflexionar sobre dónde está la línea entre una relación sana y una obsesiva.
