1. “Wuthering Heights” by Kate Bush and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Based on the 1847 gothic tragedy Wuthering Heights written by Emily Brontë, “Wuthering Heights” by Kate Bush is sung from the perspective of the ghost of Catherine Earnshow, or “Cathy” as self-referenced to in the song.

As in the song, the book centers around the story of Catherine and Heathcliff who share an unrequited love, where Cathy is longing for Heathcliff to let her in, alluding to something more than physical. The ghostly tone of voice and dream-like melody is sure to put you in the book’s setting of Wuthering Heights.

By chance, just after I had read this article, I was at dinner with some friends, one of whom said she had just re-read Jane Eyre. Several people at the table began quoting bits from the novel. These were not especially “literary” people, but it crossed my mind that perhaps Gerald [Murnane}is unusual in that he doesn’t recall the words of novels he reads, while insisting that it is only the words that matter.

Daisy & Woolf invites us to reflect on the relationships between writers and canonical texts, between women writers and their literary foremothers, and more importantly, between women writers of colour and white literary feminist models. (...)

Foregrounding the experience of a woman of colour excluded by a white woman author, Daisy & Woolf has been compared to Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Wide Sargasso Sea, is a revision of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre that gives a voice to Bertha, the figure known merely as the madwoman in the attic. Rhys, like Daisy and Cahill oscillated between different cultures and was continuously subjected to unwanted curious gazes as a result of her mixed origin. (Intan Paramadhita)

Vous faisiez quoi quand vous aviez 18 ans ? Kate Bush, elle, a écrit cette chanson inoubliable, qui reste aujourd’hui encore l’une de ses plus connues. Avec des paroles inspirées par Les hauts de Hurlevent d’Emily Brontë (Wuthering Heights, en VO). (Xavier Béraud) (Translation)

You couldn’t say that she hadn’t been working towards it, with Bush’s 1978 debut single, ‘Wuthering Heights’, a delicious genre-defying curveball amongst all the punk and new wave bluster.

Jane è stata cresciuta in un orfanotrofio e non ha famiglia (acuta scelta quella del nome che fa pensare tra le tante a Jane Eyre anche lei orfana e cresciuta in una struttura simile). (Francesca Imperi) (Translation)

Tra Jane Austen e Charlotte Brontë

Il tono irriverente di Persuasione non vi ha convinto? Allora potete consolarvi con la seconda stagione di Sanditon, serie ispirata al romanzo incompiuto della Austen, in prima assoluta su Sky Serie a partire dal 20 luglio e in streaming su Now. Si fa per dire, visto che l’abbandono della serie di Theo James (Sidney Parker) ha costretto gli sceneggiatori a dare al suo personaggio un’uscita di scena definitiva. Charlotte dovrà quindi fare i conti con un cuore spezzato e con le sfide del suo nuovo ruolo di istitutrice per conto di Alexander Colbourne, facendo prendere alla storia un’inaspettata piega alla Jane Eyre. (Veronica Colella) (Translation)
