From the Tampa Tribune, writer Linda White-Francis:"They still talk about those stories," she said, adding, "When I decided to become a serious writer, I went to the library and studied the work of authors like J.D. Salinger, the Bronte sisters, Jane Austen and Daphne Du Maurier." (Megan Hussey)The Brontë Parsonage Blog posts about yesterday's Beryl Bainbridge appearance at the Brontë Society June Weekend:After talking about events in her childhood and the ways they have entered her fiction, she spoke about her admiration for the Brontës ("they wrote such jolly good stories") and explained why she was writing mainly historical novels at the moment ("because I've now written everything I can about my childhood.......but I still get into my novels....I still put in things from my past..") and revealed that four months is her normal gestation period.

Jane Eyre, not so innocuous after all
2008-06-05 19:21:00 The student newspaper The Ontarion talks about the dance piece Nocturnes by Deborah Dunn (more information on previous posts) and well... just three words CHECK-YOUR-SOURCES:Nocturnes, a piece by Toronto's Trial & Eros, took the story of Charlotte Brontë's Wuthering Heights [sic] set to the music of Chopin in a manner which, although parts of the narrative were retained, was not mere translation."I didn't feel like I needed to necessarily tell the narrative, just the image and the archetypes of Cathy and Heathcliff, and going from there and allowing my own life to influence to piece," said Trial and Eros's choreographer and dancer, Deborah Dunn.While she did not entirely abandon a Victorian aesthetic, the sets and costumes and the dancing itself bore a noticeable surrealist influence. As to whether her audience relates to these personal influences, Dunn does not feel that that is entirely essential."I understand that it's not always the exact same thing," she said. (Duncan...

ArtSunday: ?improving? Jane Austen
2008-06-02 00:39:00 Periodically, it seems, to those who now have bought back into the concept of history, humans begin to think that their great works of literature are insufficient. This is not necessarily a bad thing. New literary movements grow out of this perceived insufficiency, and new masterpieces appear that eventually become, for some insufficient - and so new literary movements…. Unfortunately, we humans also seem to have a propensity to look on the great works of art we have and see their “flaws.” This has caused us to make some interesting and even laughable “improvements” to our masterpieces - Moby Dick has had the entire whaling section expurgated for “easier” reading for American students; 18th century stagings of Macbeth had the Thane of Glamis survive and repent his evil ways. Now it seems that Jane Austen, our most brilliant analyst and most insightful critic of women’s roles in society and the institution of marriage, has been deemed ...

Jane Eyre is breathtaking
2008-05-23 20:50:00 A couple of reviews of the the performances of Polly Teale's Jane Eyre at the Clay Center in Charleston, WV.The Charleston Gazette: The play is set in many short scenes, which are brought together with graceful transitions, aided by tasteful lighting and music. The single set was dark and beautiful, and served well in most scenes, except it sometimes seemed a bit cramped when characters needed more distance from each other.Jane begins the story as a headstrong young girl, who becomes a restrained and modest woman. In Teale's adaptation, she physically leaves part of herself behind, as her willful alter ego is locked in the attic. The play gives a vivid depiction of Jane's battle between duty and desire.Jane's youthful self returns in later scenes as Brontë's character Bertha, a madwoman in the attic. As Bertha, Marlette Carter shows a range from youthful energy to disturbing adult passions. Bertha's reactions depict Jane's inner feelings throughout the play. Her presence is ...

2008-05-21 00:05:00 The Angel's Game, the "prequel" to Carlos Ruiz Zafón's The Shadow of the Wind, was recently published in Spanish. A few weeks ago, the Spanish newspaper El Periódico de Aragón interviewed the author and asked him,--Los referentes literarios abundan en sus novelas. En esta, junto a Fausto, sobresalen Dickens, Jane Eyre y una mezcla de terror entre Le Fanu y Stephen King.--SÃ, hay mucha novela gótica del XIX. Me gusta horrores. Además de Le Fanu, me encantan las historias de fantasmas de Maupassant. Son oscuras y fascinantes. Y hay referencias a la novela fantástica contemporánea, no solo Stephen King, miles de lecturas que me ayudan a dinamitar los tópicos esnobs que obligan a citar solo a tótems. (Ricard Ruiz Garzón)- Literary references abound in your novels. In this one we have found traces of Faustus, Dickens, Jane Eyre and a sort of terror similar to Le Fanu's and Stephen King's.- Yes, there is plenty from the 19th-century Gothic novel.

2008-05-12 22:58:00 Mary Jane Monday: Hispanitas 'Girasol' slingback brogues It's a brogue, a slingback and a Mary Jane, all in one! On paper, these shoes sound like they have way too much going on, but in person, I actually think they're quite cute, if you're looking for a low-heeled, comfortable shoe. The combination of red, black and white is a particular favourite of mine on shoes, but if you're not keen, there's also a version of these in tan. These are $181.95 at Nordstrom, who call them a "modern take on the spectator shoe".

2008-05-12 22:22:00 Michael Antonio Lucy Mary Jane from Alloy Last week I talked about a 6" high heel, which in itself is rather intimidating, but what about these 5" heel babies? Sure they're not designer, but if you're looking for a height boost and don't want to fork out hundreds of dollars to do so, I don't think you can go too wrong with these Michael Antonio Lucy Mary Jane from Alloy. Made from man-made material (Natalie Portman would approve) these blue patent leather Mary-Janes feature cute floral cut outs and a peep toe. Still not convinced? Well your feet would only be arching up 3 ½" and not 5 with the 1 ½" platform. All this will just set you back $32.50.

"So what if the Canadian actress Ellen Page has been cast as Jane Eyre?"
2008-05-11 12:32:00 We published some days ago a post trying to cover some of the reactions caused by the casting of Ellen Page as Jane Eyre in a BBC Films/Ruby Films film project.

No colour-coordinated rows of pristine clothes or Polaroids on shoeboxes here. 'What? Euch, isn't that just what designers do?' says Shepherdson, recoiling at the thought that anyone would consider her so obsessive.Jane Shepherdson: 'Oxfam said "I hear you've got a bit of time on your hands." I thought, "Quite cheeky, but good for you."'The former brand ...
