We love so much this synopsis of Emily on Bologna Today (Italy):
Un'anziana Emily Brontë viene spinta dalla sorella Charlotte a raccontare cosa l'abbia ispirata durante la stesura di Cime Tempestose, uno dei romanzi più amati di tutti i tempi. È così che ha inizio il racconto della vita dell'autrice e della ricerca della sua voce letteraria. (Translation)
Not only the film 'reinvented' the Brontë story, but now they're reinventing the film itself.
Ciaocomo (Italy) announces film screenings of the film.
Literary Review analyzes Travellers through Time: A Gypsy History by Jeremy Harte
Notwithstanding the subtler portrayals of Gypsies found, for instance, in the work of Emily Brontë and D H Lawrence, the tendency has been to use Gypsy characters as a kind of shorthand for savagery and nonconformity. (Damian Le Bas)
Native News Online interviews the writer Christine Day:
Luke Skywalker or Anakin Skywalker?Fun fact: I once wrote an essay in college that compared Anakin Skywalker to Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. My professor gave me an A. So I’ll go with Anakin, even though he’s an antihero.
According to the writer Hannah Betts, rain in your holidays is not necessarily bad. In The Telegraph:
It rained – proper, driving, Highlands rain. In the same way that the weather in Wuthering Heights reflects human savagery, so the dankness expressed our status as crew of the Hell Ship of Doom. Our claustrophobic craft was loaded with so much booze, we looked set to sink.
Yorkshire, God's own country, in The Telegraph:
Add to the mix a lively dollop of culture – a 500-acre sculpture park, David Hockney, moody Brontë country, museums from the quaint (toys) to the spectacular (trains) – plus one-off Yorkshire experiences such as steaming across the moors in vintage railway carriages, and everyone should be happy.

Euroman (Denmark) recommends Wide Sargasso Sea at 50, edited by Elaine Savory and Erica Johnson;
Det er allerede 57 år siden, at Jean Rhys udgav mesterværket ’Wide Sargasso Sea’, hvori hun sætter hele verdens kulturæstetiske begrebs- og forståelsesapparat under lup af sin opvækst på de vestindiske øer. Hun beskriver og udvider simpelthen samtlige kunstarter, som var de en ø under udvikling, afvikling og belejring. Genialt. (Christian Hanneborg) (Translation)
Nordbayern (Germany) lists 'British sayings quoting Charlotte Brontë.
