Emily Brontë's “Wuthering Heights” is a tale of star-crossed lovers: Catherine, the wild daughter of an aristocratic family, and Heathcliff, an orphan whom Catherine's father brings home unexpectedly. While Catherine's brother and mother denigrate Heathcliff, depriving him of an education and forcing him into a servant-like role, Catherine forms an intense, almost spiritual bond with her family's new charge. Despite their deep connection, however, she marries the scion of a nearby wealthy family — a decision that leaves Catherine yearning, Heathcliff bent on revenge and everybody in their orbit on a path to calamity. Brontë's classic has long been a favorite among readers, and the novel is back in the zeitgeist thanks to Emerald Fennell's recent film adaptation. On this week's episode, host MJ Franklin discusses “Wuthering Heights” with colleagues from the New York Times Book Review. Other works discussed: “Wuthering Heights,” the song by Kate Bush “Twilight,” by Stephenie Meyer “But Daddy I Love Him,” by Taylor Swift “Wuthering Heights,” the 2026 film directed by Emerald Fennell “The Safekeep,” by Yael van der Wouden “Mexican Gothic,” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia The “Wuthering Heights” comics in Kate Beaton's “Hark!

For decades, cinema has lied to us about Wuthering Heights—and I'm done letting adaptations sell you the wrong half of the story. In this episode, I'm auditing the entire novel (not the TikTok version): the framed narration (Lockwood and Nelly Dean), why unreliable storytelling matters, and the full family tree across Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. I break down what Hollywood keeps deleting—an entire second generation (Catherine Linton “Cathy,” Linton Heathcliff, and most criminally, Hareton Earnshaw)—and why that missing half is the moral of the book.I walk through the inheritance and property-law engine that drives the plot, how Heathcliff weaponizes debt, marriage, and the legal system to seize both estates, and why this is a revenge epic about power, humiliation, class, race/othering, and generational trauma—not a romance.Then I compare what the 1939 classic and the new 2026 adaptation keep, soften, or break: how 1939 preserves key first-half bones but ends too early, and how 2026 flattens the structural engine (including major character/function changes) while still cutting the second generation—removing the consequences and the repair. I end where Brontë ends: not with soulmates in the snow, but with restoration—literacy, inheritance corrected, and two young people choosing to break the cycle. If you've only seen the movies, this is the missing architecture.You can also watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qSzlQgSsIt4Get the family tree breakdown here: https://bibliolifestyle.com/wuthering-heights-family-tree-explained/

Henry is gone, and a gloom falls over the house. Sir Thomas suspects that Maria doesn't want to marry Rushworth, but she marries him anyway. Fanny and Miss Crawford start hanging out, and Fanny secures a dinner invitation. Topics discussed include Fanny's glow-up, how Fanny and the Bertrams feel about the slave trade, Maria's revenge plot, flirt-harping, the Brontës' use of the word "ejaculate," Fanny's love of nature, the Doge at the court of Louis XIV, and Edmund and Mary's fundamental incompatibility.Patron Study Questions this week come from Avi and Linnea. Topics discussed include Fanny's question about the slave trade and our characters wanting to change each other.Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include Fanny cozying up to Sir Thomas, the retiring of the WTF Maria Tracker, zeroing in on the love triangle, and Mary and Fanny's friendship.Funniest Quote: "It was a very proper wedding. The bride was elegantly dressed; the two bridesmaids were duly inferior; her father gave her away; her mother stood with salts in her hand, expecting to be agitated; her aunt tried to cry; and the service was impressively read by Dr. Grant."Questions moving forward: Is this the last we're seeing of the Bertram sisters?

CONTAINS WUTHERING HEIGHTS SPOILERS! What else would two literature lovers (and actual Brontë experts) be talking about this week but the film of the moment. Is Jacob Elordi too white? Is Margot Robbie too old? How much adaptation is too much? Plus: tough love for a special one in a situationship. Still got a dilemma? […]

The gang is back and ready to rumble! This week on Netflix vs. Cinema,Tosin, Sharon, and Holly host. While Shaun is away in Japan, the team wastes no time diving into the most anticipated—and controversial—release of the year: Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights. In this episode, we break down why this modern adaptation is causing a literary firestorm.

In the Cinema: Wuthering Heights (2026): Is it an erotic masterpiece or just an over-the-top melodrama with too much rain? We give our brutal ratings. The Day the Earth Blew Up: Tosin reviews the new fully-animated Looney Tunes film starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. Is the slapstick enough to sustain a 90-minute feature? On the Stream: Small Prophets (BBC iPlayer): Sharon raves about this quirky contemporary drama by MacKenzie Crook . Madam (Netflix): The team discusses the hilarious and empowering true story of an ethical brothel in New Zealand. Wuthering Heights (The Final Word): We discuss why a 6-hour TV mini-series might still be the best way to experience this story. Is Wuthering Heights a cinematic triumph or a literary crime? Join the debate in the comments on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook! Is Netflix killing cinemas? Each week we weigh up what we've seen in cinemas with what we've watched online at home and figure out which provided the best time.

Is Wuthering Heights “the greatest love story of all time?” Or is it a tale of hate, violence, and vengeance? Or maybe a gothic satire? This hour we look at Emily Brontë’s novel and how it was received when it was published in 1847. Plus, a look at the highest-grossing movie of the year so far — Emerald Fennell’s loosely adapted “Wuthering Heights” — and how it stacks up against other retellings.

Den nyeste fortolkning af klassikeren ‘Wuthering Heights’ kandiderer allerede til at blive årets mest omdiskuterede film. For mens både anmeldere og dedikerede Brontë-fans trækker filmen gennem mudderet, er der også mange, som overgiver sig til filmens svulstighed - og ikke mindst Jacob Elordi-faktoren. Den originale roman blev udgivet i 1847 af Emily Brontë, som døde året efter dens udgivelse. Hun efterlod sig ingen interviews, ingen litterære saloner og ingen PR-strategi. På den måde er hun litteraturhistoriens ultimative anti-brand. Helt omvendt forholder det sig med Emerald Fennell, instruktøren bag den biografaktuelle udgave af ‘Wuthering Heights’. For når Fennell bevæger sig ind i Brontës univers, er det næsten som at se en meget selvsikker gæst gå ind i et hjemsøgt hus og sige: “Jeg har lavet en moodboard. I denne uge taler vi om både romanen og filmen og diskuterer, hvad der sker, når en mytisk og tavs forfatter møder en instruktør med en tydelig, pompøs signatur. Og så spørger vi, om det overhovedet er nødvendigt at skulle vælge side mellem de to. PANEL Cecilie Lind, forfatter. Anbefaling: Se filmen ‘Ordet’ fra 1955. Bodil Skovgaard Nielsen, kulturskribent på Dagbladet Information. Anbefaling: Lyt til nummeret ‘Reconvexo’ af Maria Bethânia. Emma Rosenzweig, kunstner og forfatter. Anbefaling: Se filmen ’The Gold Diggers’ fra 1983. Vært: Lucia Odoom. Anbefaling: Læs ‘Glasessayet’ af Anne Carson og ’Til Havs’ af Dörte Hansen. REDAKTION Lucia Odoom og Jonas Bach-Madsen.

Kot je dandanes že v navadi, smo prvi vpogled v najnovejšo priredbo klasičnega romana Viharni vrh dobili skoraj leto pred premiero s pomočjo neuradnih fotografij s snemanja. Te so ponujale precej transgresivno vizijo viktorijanske ljubezenske zgodbe, ki prek tragičnega odnosa med Catherine Earnshaw in Heathcliffom, temnopoltim varovancem njenega očeta, tematizira vprašanja medgeneracijske travme ter rasnih in razrednih trenj v angleški družbi 18. stoletja. Tudi pred prvimi podobami Margot Robbie kot Catherine in Jacoba Elordija kot Heathcliffa pa nas večina verjetno ni pričakovala tradicionalne priredbe. Fennell se je v svojem dosedanjem delu namreč precej zavestno in z veseljem predala vlogi provokatorke. Vseeno so prej omenjene fotografije prizorov s kostumi v slogu osemdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja, svetlolaso Robbie v vlogi temnolase Catherine in izrazito erotičnimi trenutki razburili marsikaterega oboževalca izvirnika. Še večja tarča pomislekov pa sta bila glavna igralca. Kljub pogostim diskrepancam v starosti igralcev in njihovih likov, je petintridesetletna Robbie precej vprašljiva kandidatka za vlogo Cathy, ki v romanu umre pri svojih osemnajstih. Še bolj problematičen pa je seveda izbris Heathcliffove rase. Prav sedaj, ko je javni diskurz tako osredotočen na probleme reprezentacije, razmerij moči in prevpraševanje zgodovine, bi lahko Fennell v svoji priredbi povedala kaj zares pomembnega. A se je odločila, da ne bo. Kot režiserka tudi sama prizna, je omenjeni konteksti pri pisanju scenarija niso zanimali. Fennell je želela prej kot samo knjižno predlogo na veliki zaslon prenesti svoj najstniški vtis romana. Za ta namen si je pred ponovnim prebiranjem knjige tudi izpisala vse, česar se je spominjala od preteklih branj. Med temi zapiski so se tako znašle reči, ki so se režiserki skozi leta vtisnile v spomin, pa tudi tisto, kar je v procesu pozabljanja in fantaziranja sama dodala. Sodeč po filmu in njenih besedah, je pri adaptiranju bolj zvesto sledila tem vtisom kot Brontëjinemu romanu. Njeno priredbo bi lahko zato ustrezneje karakterizirali kot fanovsko literaturo v filmski različici. Kot številne priredbe romana prej Fennell v svoji v ospredje postavi del zgodbe, ki se osredotoča na odnos med Catherine in Heathcliffom – izpusti torej knjižno sedanjost, v kateri Brontë izriše usodo naslednje generacije na Viharnem vrhu. Fennell vsebinsko niti v najširšem smislu ni zvesta sporočilu ali resnici romana, temveč raje sledi svoji čustveni resnici. Heathcliffov lik je tako odrešen praktično vseh svojih okrutnih lastnosti ter s tem zravnan v idealiziranega romantičnega junaka. Mnogo drugih likov je iz zgodbe izbrisanih ali združenih v en lik, pa tudi njihove motivacije in dejanja so drugačni. Vse te spremembe služijo izbrisu kompleksnejših družbenih vidikov romana ter osredotočenju na trenutke zgodbe, ki lahko samo v takšnem vakuumu zares delujejo kot epska romantična tragedija. Tako se najnovejši Viharni vrh popolnoma preda erotičnim podtonom romana in estetiki kiča iz osemdesetih. Fluorescenčno oranžno-rožnato nebo in razkošna kostumografija bi lahko bili vzeti naravnost s platnic cenenih zgodovinskih ljubezenskih romanov – ti so nenazadnje navdihnili tudi plakat filma. Mogočna scenografija prehaja med meglenimi travnatimi griči in izumetničenimi notranjščinami, ki obenem spominjajo na Drakulo Francisa Forda Coppole in Rocky Horror Picture Show režiserja Jima Sharmana. Namesto zgodovinsko ali literarno ustrezne priredbe nam Fennell s tem ponudi čutno, impresionistično, stilizirano izkušnjo. Če uspemo ob ogledu tudi sami popolnoma zanemariti izvirni roman, lahko s potopitvijo v to izkušnjo film doživimo kot učinkovit, koherenten in estetsko presunljiv izdelek.

Happy Thursday, you pop culture junkies.    In this episode of Pop Culture Mondays on Thursdays, we're breaking our usual "no-politics" rule because the internet simply wouldn't let us look away. From viral memes to heavy hearts, here is everything moving the needle this week.   • The Pam Bondi Meme-fication: Normally, we skip the Sunday shows, but the "50,000 memes" spawned by Pam Bondi's latest media appearances were too creative to ignore. We dive into how digital creators turned a political moment into a masterclass in internet humor. • Clavicular Goes Mainstream: Following up on last week's deep dive into the "looksmaxxing" trend, the movement's poster child, Clavicular, has officially hit the big leagues with a feature in The New York Times. We discuss whether this profile helps or hurts the community's controversial reputation. • Remembering James Van Der Beek: A somber look at the passing of a TV icon. We discuss the heartbreakingly intimate photos shared by his inner circle and address the growing online controversy surrounding the GoFundMe organized for his family. • Wisdom from Kuwait: On a lighter note, we're obsessed with the two young boys from Kuwait currently dropping life lessons and accidental philosophy across social media. It's the wholesome content we all needed. • Wuthering Heights Discourse: The internet has thoughts on the latest adaptation of the Brontë classic. Is it a cinematic triumph or a gothic miss? We round up the best (and snarkiest) takes. • The Watch List: Stick around for a quick-fire round of the new trailers, drops, and hidden gems you need to have on your radar for the weekend.     NYT article on Clavicular: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/style/clavicular-looksmaxxing-braden-peters.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share This week's newsletter: https://popculturemondays.com/2026/02/16/but-50000/  

This week we're wandering into the mist and madness of the Yorkshire moors for Emerald Fennell's 2026 reimagining of Wuthering Heights! We'll discuss the electric, obsessive chemistry between Margot Robbie's Catherine and Jacob Elordi's Heathcliff, and how this version leans into the wild, untamed, and frankly toxic nature of Brontë's original text. We'll talk about the haunting gothic aesthetic, the cycles of revenge, and whether any soul can truly survive the Heights.To capture the stormy romance and the rugged landscape, we're mixing up a drink that's as turbulent as a Yorkshire gale: Moores Tempest. This cocktail is a beautiful balance of wild sweetness and earthy aromatics, much like the characters themselves.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drinkthemovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Please Drink Responsibly*

Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights is messy, heat, confrontational, and absolutely not interested in pleasing everyone. On this episode of Thumb War, we break down Fennell's bold interpretation of the Brontë classic — from erotic denial and cruelty-as-romance to audience backlash, Valentine's Day chaos, and why this movie feels designed to make people uncomfortable.

Only 9 episodes left, and this one is all corsets, cruelty, and complicated desire. Emily Suggs — our resident literary adaptation assassin — returns to the mic after publicly side-eyeing the marketing campaign for the new Wuthering Heights. The big question: did director Emerald Fennell deliver a fever-dream romance worthy of the Brontë chaos…or was this all perfume and no poison? To keep the seduction simmering, we pair it with Dangerous Liaisons, the gold standard of powdered-wig manipulation. If you like your romance weaponized and your flirtation fatal, this double feature is basically a lace glove hiding brass knuckles. On the beverage front, Emily zigzags expectations with two non-alcoholic canned mocktails from Athletic Brewing Company, proving you can keep your wits sharp even while discussing reckless passion. Meanwhile, David reaches deep into the magic bag and pulls out a 2017-bottled Oude Geuze from 3 Fonteinen — a spontaneously fermented, beautifully aged Belgian bruiser that's as complex and unpredictable as the characters on screen. It's bodice-ripping. It's sex-charged. It's literary. It's petty. It's Beer and a Movie at its most unhinged and articulate. Nine episodes left. Don't miss the scandal.

The Moors have never looked like this.

Brittiläisen kirjallisuuden synkimmän rakkaustarinan tuorein filmatisointi, uusi Emerald Fennellin ohjaama Wuthering Heights-elokuva, tuo Emily Brontën klassikon tummanpuhuvan intohimon ja dramaattisen nummen 2020-luvulle rohkeasti. Elokuvassa on goottilaisia vaikutteita, magneettista eroottisuutta ja rohkeaa lavastusta ja puvustusta, joissa yhdistyy nykyaikaiset materiaalit historialliseen tyyliin. Puvustuksessa on käytetty Old-Hollywood-tyylisiä koruja ja lavastuksessa vahvoja symboleita, nukkeja ja nukkekotia. Alun karusta ja naturalistisesta tyylistä siirrytään Marie Antoinette-henkiseen ylenpalttiseen, hedonistiseen maailmaan. Millaisen kuvan elokuva antaa naisen seksuaalisuudesta? Elokuvassa kuvataan villiä ja sivistynyttä miestyyppiä, toistensa vastakohtia. Millaisen sanoman elokuva tarjoaa parinmuodostuksen kulmasta? Barbieta näytellyt Margot Robbie ja Frankenstein-elokuvasta tuttu Jacob Elordi ovat päärooleissa ja heidän välinen kemiansa on ladattua. Miten he elokuvatoimittajien mielestä suoriutuivat rooleistaan Catherine Earnshawina ja Heathcliffinä? Onko ohjaaja modernisoinut Brontën klassikkoa jo liikaa?

Wuthering Heights 2026 review — Emerald Fennell's adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi is the most controversial film of the year. We break down the whitewashing debate, missing characters, Hong Chau's scene-stealing Nelly, and why this feels more like gothic fan fiction than Emily Brontë.The hosts discuss the film's stunning cinematography by Linus Sandgren, the Charli XCX soundtrack, the whitewashing controversy surrounding Heathcliff's casting, and the glaring omission of Hindley — arguably the catalyst for the entire story. They also celebrate Hong Chau's standout performance as Nelly, the most complex character in the film. With Megan giving it a brutal 4/10 and Sherine a more generous 7/10, this is one of their most divided reviews yet. Plus: comparisons to the 1998 TV film and Andrea Arnold's 2011 adaptation, a deep dive into the Brontë source material, and why this felt more like romanticized fan fiction than a faithful adaptation.

After reading some of Charlotte Brontë's Tales of Angria (#682), John and Sophia go a-Brontë-ing again. They discuss Lucasta Miller's extraordinary survey of the Brontë cult and the durable, troubled legacy of their fiction.

Wuthering Heights is a story full of passion, violence and sexual tension.So it's no surprise that it shocked Victorian readers when it first came out. How did Emily Brontë, the daughter of a clergyman, create such a provocative world? How did the Brontê sisters write about sex and sexuality in their work? And how accurate is the new film to the original story?!Joining Kate today is Dr Claire O'Callaghan, author and Brontë scholar, to take us back to Victorian England at the peak of the Industrial Revolution, and find out more about this scandalous story.For tickets to the live show of Betwixt the Sheets in May, follow the link here https://www.fane.co.uk/betwixt-the-sheets This episode was edited by Hannah Feodorov.

If you like Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, that's fine. Just keep it far away from me, because I DON'T BRONTË.

I'm your host, Jeremy McCandless, and I'm so glad you've joined me for this first episode of a new bi-monthly journey—one that explores the great works of classic literature, approaching these great books via the world out of which they emerged—a cultural heritage, rich in spiritual metaphor.Each season, we'll walk alongside the giants of literary history—authors who in many ways have shaped nations, stirred hearts, whilst at the same time wrestling with the deepest questions of human existence. But we won't just admire their craft. We'll ask: What spiritual soil did these stories grow from? What echoes of grace and redemption resound within their pages?

Dead Funny History: The Brontës. Join historian Greg Jenner for a fast-paced, funny and fascinating journey through the lives of the Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, three literary legends whose tragic family story inspired some of the greatest novels of the 19th century.This episode of Dead Funny History is packed with jokes, sketches and sound effects that bring the past to life for families and Key Stage 2 learners. From their Yorkshire parsonage to their tiny books written in doll-sized handwriting, the Brontës were bursting with creativity. But their lives were also filled with heartbreak, illness and rejection.Discover how the sisters used gender-neutral pen names to get published, how their brother Branwell tried (and mostly failed) to join in, and how their novels, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey, were shaped by their real-life experiences as governesses, teachers and grieving siblings.Expect parodies, sketch comedy, and a quiz to test what you've learned. There's a mournful bell for every tragic twist and a goat who's surprisingly good at literary criticism. It's history with heart, humour and high production value. Perfect for curious kids, families, and fans of You're Dead To Me.Written by Jack Bernhardt, Gabby Hutchinson Crouch and Dr Emma Nagouse Host: Greg Jenner Performers: Mali Ann Rees and John-Luke Roberts Producer: Dr Emma Nagouse Associate Producer: Gabby Hutchinson Crouch Audio Producer: Emma Weatherill Researcher: Dr Emmie Rose Price Goodfellow Script Consultant: Dr Amber Regis Production Coordinator: Liz Tuohy Production Manager: Jo Kyle Studio Managers: Keith Graham and Andrew Garratt Sound Designer: Peregrine AndrewsA BBC Studios Production

Stephanie Cowell shares THE MAN IN THE STONE COTTAGE, a historical fiction novel about the Brontë sisters (Charlotte, Emily, and Anne) in 1840s Yorkshire, focusing on their struggles to get published and their complex inner lives.

Lindsay is joined by author Stephanie Cowell to discuss her book, “The Man in The Stone Cottage.” In 1846, Yorkshire, the Brontë sisters— Charlotte, Anne, and Emily— navigate precarious lives marked by heartbreak and struggle. Charlotte faces rejection from the man she loves, while their blind father and troubled brother add to their burdens. Despite their immense talent, no one will publish their poetry or novels. Amidst this turmoil, Emily encounters a charming shepherd during her solitary walks on the moors, yet he remains unseen by anyone else. After Emily's untimely death, Charlotte— now a successful author with Jane Eyre— stumbles upon hidden letters and a mysterious map. As she stands on the brink of her own marriage, Charlotte is determined to uncover the truth about her sister's secret relationship. The Man in the Stone Cottage is a poignant exploration of sisterly bonds and the complexities of perception, asking whether what feels real to one person can truly be real to another. STEPHANIE COWELL is the author of 7 novels, including Nicholas Cooke, The Physician of London, The Players: a novel of the young Shakespeare, Marrying Mozart, Claude & Camille: a novel of Monet, and The Boy in the Rain. Her work has been translated into several languages, optioned for film, and adapted into an opera. Cowell has been awarded an American Book Award. She has also been an opera singer, balladeer, and founder of the Strawberry Opera and an outdoor performance series in NYC. Fun facts include auditioning before Richard Rodgers, the Rodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame, and performing in places like the famous Harvard Club and even mental institutions and prisons.

A sudden confrontation! Having 'sniffed out' a lead, Antistrophe, Brontë, and Caoimhe have dug their way towards the truth. That truth rests in the underground archive of the Hexcloaks' regional headquarters in Cenn, City of Iron Chains. But such a basement does not go unguarded. To arms, Team ABC! This week on Perpetua: In Too Deep 03  Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.055] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Hortensius, Venomous Hexcloak [NMHR] Traits: Joyful, Experimental, Cruel Stats: DEX 6, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 10 Attacks: Toxic Whip, Poison Cloud Special Abilities: Heal In-Game Description: A misanthropic hexcloak with a mastery of toxins, venoms, and other poisons. Hortensius may not seem like the most dangerous of the Cenn Hexcloak Trio, but his mastery of poisons means that he can really wear you down (or set you up for another of the trio to knock you out.) Unsurprisingly, he resists poison damage. Starter Tip: Poison Cloud can hit everyone, and it always hits. Get ready to use some tonics!  Maxi, Earthen Hexcloak [NMMX] Traits: Tough, Direct, Snobbish Stats: DEX 10, INS 6, MIG 12, WLP 6 Attacks: Stone Maul Special Abilities: Status Immunity, Stoneshield In-Game Description: A Hexcloak soldier who combines expertise of earthen enchantment with finely honed martial prowess. Maxi is proof that sometimes all you need is a big stick. She doesn't have special attacks or active abilities, just a collection of strong defensive passives and a really high Might (which she tends to keep high because of her Status Immunity ability).  Starter Tip: She resists both earth and, more importantly, physical damage. Spell damage is your best bet here! Mercurion, Voltaic Hexcloak [NMMR] Traits: Laconic, Rude, Mercurial Stats: DEX 10, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 6 Attacks: Electrified Dagger, Hexipistol, Fulgur Special Abilities: Flying (Bugged?) In-Game Description: Impudent in speech. Electric in action. Mercurion seems to be the leader of the Cenn Hexcloak Trio, and for good reason. They can dish out big damage QUICK with their Fulgur ability (and it also has a low chance of making you dazed). Try to knock them down even quicker, or else Hortensius' heal will make them a real pain in your behind. Starter Tip: The game says they're flying, and they have a hovering animation, but some people have reported that Mercurion isn't actually flying in their boss fight. So don't worry if it seems broken, it's just a bug!

Emily Brontë died on 19 December 1848. As Patricia Lockwood said in an episode of Close Readings, there is evidence that Brontë was writing a second novel to follow ‘Wuthering Heights', but if she was, it has been lost, and it has been suggested, though never proved, that her sister Charlotte might have destroyed it. But what could possibly be in that lost novel, Lockwood wondered, that was worse, more unacceptable, than what we find in ‘Wuthering Heights'? To mark the anniversary, we're releasing the full version of this episode from the Close Readings series ‘Novel Approaches'. David Trotter and Patricia Lockwood join Thomas Jones to discuss Brontë's only surviving novel, one Trotter describes as ‘completely amoral'.
