Making Emily Shudder

Metro describes the "sandy terrains of Dungeness": 
The crumbling fishing boats, deserted shores, and the towering power station add a foreboding and gothic vibe to the landscape that would make Emily Bronte shudder. (Charlotte Colombo)
Forbes presents the posthumous film concert of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Opus now in cinemas:
Ryuichi Sakamoto sets the scene of his remarkable final performance in Tokyo’s NHK Broadcast Center’s 509 Studio: “Heading the large crew of nearly 30 people was cinematographer Bill Kirstein, who traveled from the U.S. to shoot the film using three 4K cameras. As for me, I went into the shoot a little nervous, thinking this might be my last chance to share my performance with everyone in this way. We recorded a few songs a day with a lot of care. I played some pieces that I had never played as solo piano performances, such as “The Wuthering Heights”(1992) and “Ichimei - small happiness” (2011). I played “Tong Poo” in a new arrangement at a slower tempo than I’ve ever performed it. So, in some sense, while thinking of this as my last opportunity to perform, I also felt that I was able to break new grounds. Simply playing a few songs a day with a lot of concentration was all I could muster at this point in my life. Perhaps due to the exertion, I felt utterly hollow afterwards, and my condition worsened for about a month. Even so, I feel relieved that I was able to record before my death - a performance that I was satisfied with.” (Joanne Shurvell)

The most fashionable characters of all time in Times Now News:

Catherine Earnshaw, with her natural and untamed beauty, fascinates readers with her romantic appeal. Her clothing reflects her carefree personality, often consisting of flowing dresses and windswept hair. Catherine's bohemian style enhances her mystery and solidifies her position as a beloved literary heroine. 
This reader of the Daily Mail is quite disappointed with Generation Z's rudeness:
Last year, I sent a special book about the Brontës to the teenage granddaughter of a friend who was studying Jane Eyre for A-level. I bought the book in Haworth where the Brontës had lived and enclosed some postcards of the sisters as well. Did I ever get any sort of acknowledgement? Did I heck! 
Zona Franca (México) discusses writing from a genre perspective:
Desde siempre, el rol de las mujeres fue realizar labores dentro del hogar, en la esfera privada. Ese asunto las apartó de obtener experiencias destinadas para el espectro masculino. Por ejemplo, obras como Orgullo y Prejuicio o Cumbres borrascosas fueron creadas por escritoras sin acceso directo a vivencias relacionadas con la guerra, la navegación, la política o los negocios. (María Yolanda García) (Translation)
Paris Match (Belgium) lists the books you should read at least once in your life:
Les Hauts de Hurlevent 
Chef d’oeuvre de la littérature anglaise, l’unique roman d’Emily Brontë raconte l’amour contrarié de Heathcliff et Catherine. Tous les personnages, même les plus gentils a priori, vont révéler la part de cruauté en eux. “Les Hauts de Hurlevent” est souvent considéré comme l’un des derniers ouvrages majeurs du romantisme européen et est l’un des plus grands classiques de la littérature du XIXe siècle. (Le Scan Conso) (Translation)

AnneBrontë.org discusses proposals of marriage in the Brontë novels.
