As the northern edge of the Castle Eschatonica grows closer, the adventurers within begin to sense a change in the dungeon around them. While the Celestial Echoes that make up the hallways and rooms of the castle were once neatly separated, now it seems that the people and places from the various past Perpetuan worlds have begun to overlap and interact. In search of information, Brontë, Veile, Elena, and Caoimhe seek help from an otherworldly machine. Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle, a gang of otherworldly beings seeks help from the trio of Antistrophe, Jonathan, and Uncle Nicky.

Back in Imago 2: Ancestral Fault, I HATED Miss Mephitic, because I just thought compared to the other Agonies, she was a really boring design. Who cares about a bunch of vines!? But with the music box/ballerina re-design in this game… I think she might have jumped to the top of the list! I guess we have to wait and see if she keeps it going forward… TheUnforgivenIII My favorite is definitely Melo. That guy seems like he'd be cool to chill out with and listen to music with. Alukard83 Wow, color me surprised Unforgiven! I thought you'd be an Ira guy, through and through. TheUnforgivenIII Why the hell would I like that stupid little idiot baby? Alukard83 Well, now I think it might be a bad idea to tell you why. As for my favorite, this is the first time I'm really meeting them, but I gotta say, I really love Connie. I love it when something references something else, you know? And she's sort of a walking (well, rolling) reference machine! TheDiamondRanger What's An Agony?

Cathi Unsworth was a teenage Goth, enthralled as much by Joy Division and the Banshees as by the Brontës, Bram Stoker and Aubrey Beardsley. We loved her book ‘Season of the Witch' and she's since put together a soundtrack album, ‘Dressed In Black', featuring the Goth divas she most admires and adores. And talks to us here about everything from murder ballads, the Industrial Revolution and Victorian literature to … … John Peel, Siouxsie, Joy Division and her teenage Goth conversion among the “hedge-goths” and “field-goths” of rural Norfolk … the phenomenal life, lyrics and mysterious disappearance of ‘Swamp-witch' Bobbie Gentry … has Goth eaten Punk? … why BBC banned Billie Holiday's “Gloomy Sunday” … the ‘death discs' of John Layton, the Shangri-Las and Twinkle … how Cabaret and Julie Driscoll coloured Siouxsie and the Banshees … Shirley Collins' Death And The Lady – “now that's what I call a pandemic!” … did Liz Fraser speak fluent Faerie? … Nico – “if I had a machine-gun I'd kill you all!” … and how Juliette Gréco looked the devil in the face.

When the Guardian drops a list of the 100 Greatest Novels in English it's time to drop everything to talk about it. Luckily pod-regular guest, journalist Phil Chaffee and Joseph Dance, host of the Curious Readers podcast, also had views, and were willing to get together on a Sunday evening to share them. You'll hear our hits, our misses, how many we've read, whether we should have read more and much musing on whether a list like this is the way to get people excited about reading. We explore the joys of the sub-lists – the contributor lists – all squirrelled away on a sub-section of the Guardian's website, that arguably provide more excitement and inspiration than the fairly canonical top 100. Which is the best Brontë? Which is the best Austen? Do we age into certain books? If you've read all seven volumes of Proust shouldn't that count for more than one entry? All this and much, much more. Enjoy – this was an absolute delight to make and I hope it makes you smile as much as it did me.Have your say: get in touch on Instagram @bookclubreviewpodcast or email thebookclubreview@gmail.com, or head to our website for full shownotes.

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Spencer Murphy — Assistant Professor in Media and Communications at Coventry University, specialist in film theory and cross-cultural cinema, and founder of the Coventry East Asian Film Society — for a wide-ranging, enthusiastic, and genuinely entertaining conversation about British film. What is a British film, exactly? Is it about the money, the cast, the crew, the story, or the setting? How does class permeate almost every British film ever made, from Ealing comedies to Harry Potter? Why does the British landscape function as a character in its own right? And why do Americans connect so deeply with British cinema when its sensibility — restrained, ironic, self-deprecating — is so different from Hollywood's? Jonathan and Spencer also trade their top five British films each, debate the new Wuthering Heights adaptation (neither of them liked it), and discuss why British cinema's literary inheritance is both its greatest strength and, sometimes, its creative limitation. Links Spencer Murphy at Coventry University BFI Top 100 British Films Dead Man's Shoes (2004, Shane Meadows) The Full Monty (1997) The Remains of the Day (1993) Rebecca (1940, dir. Alfred Hitchcock) Tamara Drewe (2010, dir. Stephen Frears) Friends of Anglotopia Takeaways Defining what constitutes a British film is genuinely one of the hardest questions in film studies — it can't be reduced to funding source, shooting location, cast, or director alone. Both Jonathan and Spencer agree the most satisfying answer involves who is behind the artistic vision, but even that gets complicated fast. The "Mary Poppins test" is Spencer's shorthand for films that feel very British on the surface but aren't authentically so — the tourist's vision of Britain, the chocolate-box version that meets an expectation rather than reflecting a reality. British film has a deep and complicated two-way relationship with how Britain represents itself to tourists — Hollywood's vision of Britain shapes what visitors expect, and British places have increasingly adapted to meet those expectations, from Harry Potter shops in York's Shambles to the way villages brand themselves around filming locations. Class is the single most persistent thread running through British cinema across every decade and genre — from Ealing comedies to Downton Abbey to Trainspotting — and Spencer argues it's almost impossible to think of a major British film that isn't, consciously or not, about the class system. British cinema's literary inheritance — the endless cycle of Jane Austen, Brontë, and Robin Hood adaptations — is both a commercial lifeline and a creative constraint. Spencer sees it as potentially reducing the space for new voices and contemporary stories, though he acknowledges the money it generates can fund smaller, more singular films. The British landscape is not just a setting in British cinema — it functions as a character, carrying regional pride and identity in a way that Hollywood rarely matches. Spencer notes that British location managers and production designers feel a deep obligation to get place right in a way their American counterparts don't always have. Spencer's explanation for why Americans love British film comes down to one word: self-deprecation. British culture — and British cinema — is not afraid to ridicule itself, to see its own shortcomings, and to raise them with others in a way that doesn't quite offend. He sees this as the quality Hollywood fundamentally cannot replicate. The new Wuthering Heights adaptation was a near-universal disappointment for both Jonathan and Spencer — not for lack of visual quality, but for failing the fundamental question every film must answer: who is this for? Spencer's most unexpected recommendation is Dead Man's Shoes (2004) by Shane Meadows — a harrowing, masterful, deeply regional Midlands film that he shows students as one of the most authentic and powerful representations of working-class Britain ever put on screen. The incoming Harry Potter TV series — set explicitly in the 1990s with a period-appropriate visual aesthetic — is likely to have a bigger impact on British tourism than anything since the original films, and will once again reshape what visitors expect Britain to look and feel like when they arrive. Soundbites "When I grew up, I really loved Hong Kong movies — Bruce Lee. The thing that fascinated me was you had streets with Chinese signs, but then Royal Albert Street, buses that looked like London buses. I remember my dad saying, 'Oh, it's part of Britain.' And I was like, what? That can't be so." — Spencer on the connection between British colonialism and his career in film. "It's almost like a snake eating its tail. Britain adapts to meet the expectation that its own exported films have created. You go to the Shambles in York and every other shop sells Harry Potter things and tea — because that's what people want to see." — Spencer on cinema's two-way influence on British culture and tourism. "Class in the UK is not purely related to finance. You can be a very, very wealthy working class person. You could be a millionaire and you'll always be working class. That idea of class being embedded generationally — going back hundreds and hundreds of years — movies articulate that struggle." — Spencer on why class is the defining thread of British cinema. "I'm from the Black Country — a heavily industrial area. I moved into what people would call a very middle class job as a lecturer at university. But my accent, the way I speak, where I'm from — it's working class and it will never leave me." — Spencer on living the class story British cinema tells. "You could argue British cinema is trying, in the 1940s post-war period, to lay out the parameters of class once more — because the great leveller of class was the Second World War, when it really didn't matter who your parents were. People were dying at every rank." — Spencer on class and British cinema's post-war identity crisis. "I always think of it as the King Charles test. He gave that speech in Congress — understated, but deeply critical, undercutting the president in a way where nobody could quite call him out for it. That is quintessentially British. And I think British film does that too." — Spencer on why Americans love British cinema's self-deprecating wit. "You're never going to see a British version of Top Gun. It's just never going to happen. Hollywood can be very congratulatory. British cinema is not afraid to ridicule what it is to be British — and I think that appeals to American audiences enormously." — Spencer on the fundamental difference between British and American cinema. "Wuthering Heights — I watched it and I thought, I don't even know what it felt like, but it didn't feel British to me. I wasn't sure who it was made for. Is this made for 19 year olds? Because I don't get it." — Spencer on the Emerald Fennell adaptation. "Dead Man's Shoes is harrowing and awful, but it had a massive impact on me. It touches on class, on the 1980s, on the downtrodden. It's a film I've seen about three times. I show it to students because it's just masterful." — Spencer on his most unexpected British film recommendation. "When they replayed the Royal Wedding coverage in the pub, you know what came on after it on BBC One? Wallace and Gromit. The perfect chaser of all that Britishness." — Jonathan on the most quintessentially British television scheduling decision ever made. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan sets up the episode and introduces Spencer Murphy 01:50 Spencer's Journey into Film — VHS tapes, corner video stores, Hong Kong martial arts films, and an accidental PhD 04:36 Jonathan Meets His Wife at Film School — A brief Anglotopia origin story 05:13 Southeast Asian Cinema and the British Colonial Lens — How post-1997 Hong Kong shaped Spencer's thinking about national cinema 08:52 What Is a British Film? — The question neither host can fully answer, and why that's the right response 12:36 Jonathan's Working Definition — Setting, cast, and the authenticity test 13:37 The Merchant Ivory Problem — When a British story isn't quite a British film 14:32 The Mary Poppins Test — How to spot a tourist's version of Britain on screen 16:17 Harry Potter, Bond & Lawrence of Arabia — Are America's favourite "British" films actually British? 18:46 Cinema's Two-Way Effect on Britain — How films shape the places they portray 20:53 Harry Potter as Britain's Biggest Cultural Export — And the new TV series that will change tourism again 22:29 The Visual Identity of the Harry Potter TV Show — Why setting it in the 1990s is a smart move 24:28 British Film Genres — Social realism, heritage drama, comedy, Hammer Horror, and what each adds to the British identity 26:50 Class as British Cinema's Defining Thread — Why it runs through every genre from Ealing to Peaky Blinders 31:33 The Full Monty, Billy Elliot & Richard Curtis — Class in 1990s British film 33:36 Accents, Class & the Transatlantic Voice — From clipped 1930s RP to Trainspotting's Scots 38:45 British Cinema & Literary Adaptation — Strength or creative constraint? 42:49 The New Wuthering Heights — Two film lovers find they agree it didn't work, and debate why 47:36 Landscape as Character — How place functions in British cinema differently from Hollywood 52:08 Why Americans Love British Film — Self-deprecation, irony, and the King Charles Congressional speech 55:23 The Battle of Britain vs Top Gun — How British and American cinema represent heroism differently 55:50 Spencer's Top Five British Films — Rebecca, Dr. No, The Devil Rides Out, The Full Monty, Dead Man's Shoes 59:14 Jonathan's Top Five British Films — The Remains of the Day, Master and Commander, About Time, Tamara Drewe, That Hamilton Woman, Hot Fuzz, On Chesil Beach, and Wallace & Gromit 1:03:06 Wallace & Gromit After the Royal Wedding — The perfect end to any discussion of British culture 1:04:08 Wrap-Up — Spencer must dash, a second episode is promised, and a call to share your own favorite British films Video Version
If there's one film that set tongues (literally) wagging this year, it's the latest adaptation of Emily Brontë's masterpiece of gothic fiction, WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Directed by one of cinema's most de rigueur darlings, Emerald Fennell, WUTHERING HEIGHTS showcases Fennell's trademark maximalism, bold subversiveness, and canny eye for visual magic tricks. The formula should have been a perfect match of fiction and filmmaker. So why did it leave us feeling kind of… meh? SITC all-star guest star Cecilia Conti and special guest Josh Reinhold join Torie to hash out their feelings about Fennell's new take on Brontë's classic. And honestly, the film reads more like a smut fanfiction or two-hour music video than a true-to-text take on a venerable and deeply complex work of literature. Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as doomed lovers Cathy and Heathcliff, Fennell's sex-ed up rendition is more style than substance. All the same, the candy-coated visuals are glorious, the metaphors are ripe, and the acting ain't half bad. The sex itself is decidedly PG-13, but it was enough to confirm that Jacob Elordi is very much most likely a damn good kisser.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Claire O'Callaghan for a rich and thought-provoking conversation on Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, a novel that continues to unsettle, challenge, and captivate readers across generations. Together, we explore the wild and untamed landscape of the moors, not just as a setting, but as a force that shapes the emotional and psychological terrain of the characters themselves. Even for those who haven't read the novel, the names Catherine and Heathcliff seem to exist out in the cultural ether, familiar and almost mythic. Many readers come to the book expecting a sweeping romance, shaped in part by film adaptations that present their story as one of enduring love. But this is not that kind of novel. Our discussion grapples with the book's deeply unhealthy and often destructive portrayals of love, relationships marked more by obsession and vengeance than tenderness or mutual care. Violence, both physical and psychological, looms large, and we consider how Brontë uses it not merely for shock, but as a lens into grief, trauma, and the human capacity for endurance. As we reflect on how the book changes depending on when and how it's read, we ask why Wuthering Heights feels so different at various stages of life, and how what once seemed romantic can later reveal itself as deeply tragic. We also explore the novel's ghostly supernatural elements and how the house itself seems haunted. And yet, despite its darkness, Wuthering Heights is not without hope. In the relationship between Cathy and Hareton, we see the possibility of renewal, a quiet but powerful redemption that hints at healing, growth, and a break from the destructive patterns of the previous generation. By the end of this conversation, you may find yourself not only reconsidering the novel, but also longing to step into its world, because if you haven't yet visited Haworth, home of the Brontë family, you'll likely want to now. And for those eager to go even deeper, be sure to explore more of Dr. O'Callaghan's work, including her recent contribution to the transcription of a long-lost manuscript by Charlotte Brontë, a discovery that continues to expand our understanding of one of literature's most remarkable families. https://claireocallaghan.com/
On The Literary Life Podcast with Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks this week, we will wrap up our discussion of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. After sharing their commonplace quote for this week, Thomas and Angelina jump right into recapping the important plot points of this last section of the book. They start with some contrasts between St. John and Rochester, then they talk about the journey of the soul and the image of marriage. They also consider the parallels of her return to Thornfield and the reversals in these scenes, as well as how Brontë fulfills the various fairy tale endings she set up earlier in the book.

Eleanor Houghton, in conversation with Duncan McCargo and Alexis Wolf Meet the real, thinking, feeling woman that was Charlotte Brontë, as told in this biography by the surviving witnesses to her life – the clothes that she once wore.These garments were present as she penned Jane Eyre, as she walked the cobbled streets of Haworth, and as she stood with her fiancé at the altar in the summer of 1854. Yet, until now, their testimonies had remained unheard.Renowned Brontë scholar and dress historian Eleanor Houghton's innovative, richly illustrated biography, Charlotte Brontë's Life Through Clothes (Bloomsbury 2026), finally gives voice to the gowns, bonnets, shawls, corsets, parasols and boots that make up the novelist's wardrobe.Secrets are revealed in their very fibres. Brontë's steel busked corset tells the story of corporate espionage and forbidden love, whilst her striped, silk dress shows how she coped with the new-found pressures of fame. When exposed to 21st century technology, a tiny sample of fabric from her 'Thackeray Dress' reveals important innovations of the Industrial Revolution going on around her and a black lace veil, worn after the deaths of her siblings, expresses how she dealt with repeated familial loss.These clothes, some of which still bear the imprint of her foot or the sweat from her pores, prove themselves to be far more than mere celebrity curios. When 'read' alongside letters, portraits, her novels and the recollections of those who knew her well, Charlotte emerges as a woman altogether braver, more vulnerable, less isolated, less provincial, more fashion conscious than anyone ever expected. Myths are shattered, preconceptions challenged, and, the real Charlotte Brontë, beyond the famous author, finally emerges. Eleanor Houghton is a Brontë scholar, writer and illustrator. She studied English at the University of Oxford before being awarded a Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarship in History. In 2022, in collaboration with the Brontë Parsonage Museum, she curated a large-scale exhibition on the surviving wardrobe of Charlotte Brontë. An expert in 18th and 19th century clothing, literature and social history, she often works as consultant for film and TV, novelists and museums. Her detailed drawings are widely sold and exhibited.

Hello CreatorsComing soon: Build Without Breaking, a new performing arts interview series releasing toward the end of the year.Follow us on Instagram to follow the launch:instagram.com/buildwithoutbreakingpodLet me guide you into a bedtime poetry reading inspired by the renewed buzz around Wuthering Heights and the world that shaped Emily Brontë. We talk about her deep love of animals, nature, and home, and why Yorkshire's wild moors and harsh wind feel stitched into the rhythm of her lines. The poems move through darkness, devotion, and doubt: a storm you cannot leave, love and friendship measured by seasons, hope that turns away, moonlight that settles the room, a rose that withers, mist that softens tomorrow, and a final walk that holds grief with quiet honesty.

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Mia Ferullo, Digital Engagement Officer, and Sam, Programme Officer at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, Yorkshire — and co-hosts of the museum's own acclaimed podcast, Behind the Glass: A Parsonage Podcast. Together they explore what makes the Parsonage one of Britain's most atmospheric and emotionally resonant literary destinations, from the world's largest collection of Brontë artefacts to the wild moorland that inspired the novels themselves. The conversation spans the remarkable story of three sisters who published against the odds under male pseudonyms, the often-overlooked legacy of Anne Brontë and patriarch Patrick Brontë, the concept and standout episodes of Behind the Glass, and the swirling cultural moment around Emerald Fennell's new big-screen adaptation of Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Mia and Sam also share practical advice for American Anglophiles planning their first visit to Haworth, including the best time of year to go and how to get there. Links Brontë Parsonage Museum — bronte.org.uk Behind the Glass: A Parsonage Podcast Keighley and Worth Valley Railway — kwvr.co.uk Visit Yorkshire — visityorkshire.com Friends of Anglotopia Takeaways The Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth is home to the world's largest collection of Brontë artefacts, including handwritten manuscripts, first editions, writing desks, and extraordinary miniature books the sisters made as children. Almost everything on display in the Parsonage is genuine Brontë furniture and objects — not set dressing — making it one of the most authentically preserved literary homes in Britain. The Brontë sisters published their novels under male pseudonyms not just for anonymity, but to avoid the prejudice that would have greeted female authors — and the books were still considered shocking and coarse when they appeared. Anne Brontë is widely regarded as the most overlooked of the three sisters, lacking the pop culture adaptations and name recognition that Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights have accumulated over generations. Patrick Brontë, often cast as a footnote or even a villain in the family story, played a significant role in his daughters' development — educating them in the classics and sparking their imaginative lives by bringing home a set of toy soldiers for Branwell. Behind the Glass: A Parsonage Podcast invites guests to choose a single object from the collection as a jumping-off point, allowing deep dives into rarely seen items — including Charlotte's tea cosy and its fascinating gendered history. Emerald Fennell's new Wuthering Heights film has driven a surge of visitors to the museum, with people noting in the visitor book that the film brought them to Haworth for the first time. Controversy around Wuthering Heights is nothing new — the original 1847 novel was condemned as vulgar and depraved by contemporary reviewers, making modern critical debate very much in keeping with Emily Brontë's legacy. A new television adaptation of Jane Eyre has been announced, which the museum is already looking ahead to as potentially another major cultural moment. August is the best month to visit Haworth when the heather is in full purple bloom on the moors, though autumn's fog and mist give the village an irresistibly gothic atmosphere perfect for Brontë fans. Soundbites "When you go up behind the Parsonage, you've got the moorlands. There's the ruin of Top Withens up there, supposed to be the influence for Wuthering Heights. You feel like you can really step into the pages of the book." — Sam on Haworth's atmospheric setting. "There are moments where you think, gosh, this all started here where I work, and I'm there every day. They actually wrote Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights in this room, on this writing desk." — Mia on the weight of working at the Parsonage. "The writing desks contain all the same materials the Brontës left in them. Everything's been preserved exactly as it was when they died." — Mia on her favourite objects in the collection. "It's believed that Emily died on the sofa. And I think that's something people find very moving — especially when they've come from abroad, because Haworth isn't easy to get to even if you live in the UK." — Sam on emotional moments with visitors. "They had to use pseudonyms so nobody would know who they were, and there'd be no prejudice against them being women writers. And still the books were called coarse and shocking — people thought women shouldn't even be reading them." — Mia on the Brontës publishing against the odds. "I think Anne definitely gets overlooked. Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights have very much become part of pop culture — there are more movies, more adaptations, pop songs written about them. Anne doesn't get that same exposure." — Sam on the most neglected Brontë sister. "You can almost compare the Brontës to Shakespeare — how his work is reinterpreted in different settings and time periods. That's why the Brontës' work is so timeless. You can draw on certain elements and themes and keep it fresh." — Sam on why new adaptations keep coming. "We never really want to tell visitors what to think. We want people to read the books and make their own minds up." — Mia on the museum's approach to literary interpretation. "I don't think we expected it to be quite as big as it was. Seeing all the money that went into the premieres and the marketing — we've just been wanting to grab a bit of everything to remember it, because how often does something like this come along?" — Sam on the scale of the Wuthering Heights film moment. "It just came from this little house in this little village in Yorkshire." — Sam on the extraordinary global legacy of the Brontë Parsonage.

On The Literary Life Podcast this week, Angelina and Thomas cover chapters 13-19 of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. Today's episode includes more discussion of the important symbols and images in these chapters. Angelina highlights the stories of Bluebeard, Beauty and the Beast, and Cupid and Psyche and their connections to this book. She and Thomas also talk about the trope of the "reformed rake" and how it relates to Brontë is setting up that possibility here. In these chapters we see more fire images, as well as several things that point to this story as a journey of the soul for both Jane and Mr. Rochester.

Klangkunstwerk über die englische Dichterin Emily Brontë. Sie kannte die karge Schönheit der Moore aus ihrer Kindheit. Das Duo Merzouga entdeckt in Brontës Gedichten Songs für unsere Zeit und entführt uns in den faszinierenden Lebensraum Moor. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Samstag, 21.03.2026, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur In ihren «Poems from the Moor» beschwört Emily Brontë die besondere Atmosphäre der Landschaft Yorkshires. Zwei Jahrhunderte später verbringt ein Klangkünstler ein Jahr in einer Moorlandschaft. Daraus entsteht die Vertonung von Brontës Gedichten als «Songs from the Moor». Das Klangduo Merzouga setzt diese in eine zeitgenössische Klanglandschaft aus Moor-Sounds und Field-Recordings brummender Wasserkäfer. In den Schichten des Torfbodens verbirgt sich ein Archiv der Landschaft. Gräser, Moose und Pollen, die im nassen Moor über Jahrtausende erhalten bleiben, erlauben einen Blick in die Geschichte. In der Verschränkung von Musik und Wissenschaft, Klangkunst und Lyrik lotet das Kölner Klangkunstduo die Bedeutung der Moore für die Bewältigung der Klimakrise aus und versucht, Begeisterung zu wecken für diesen faszinierenden Lebensraum zwischen Wasser und Land. ____________________ Mit: Veronika Bachfischer, Jean Paul Baeck und Filippa Gojo (Gesang) ____________________ Tontechnik: Christoph Rieseberg und Jens Müller – Regie: Janko Hanushevsky und Eva Pöpplein (= Merzouga) ____________________ Produktion: Deutschlandfunk 2024 ____________________ Dauer: 56'
In this episode: we hear from Dr Claire O'Callaghan, Senior Lecturer in English at Loughborough University and Editor-in-Chief of Brontë Studies, the official journal of the Brontë Society; Prof Melissa Fegan, Professor of Irish and Victorian Literature at the University of Chester; and Dr Sophie Franklin, Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of English, Drama and Film at University College Dublin and author of ‘Violence and the Brontës: Language, Reception, Afterlives'. She is also an Associate Editor of the Brontë Studies journal.
Teri Bracken's career as Brontë Fall began almost accidentally. The singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs had always been a music obsessive, dreaming of forming her own bands and playing on stages. While working as the “door girl” at an indie music venue in Chicago, a chance opportunity allowed her to book her first gig as an artist. She quickly came up with a band name (honoring her favorite writers, the Brontë sisters), compiled all the original songs she had, and never, ever looked back. Bracken's road to acclaimed songwriter began in childhood, when she picked up piano at age 7. Classical violin lessons soon followed, and eventually she was tapped as the singer/violinist in a college rock band with a group of nineties rock loving frat boys. After leaving the guys, she further pursued her passion for violin playing at Berklee, which is where she fell in love with songwriting once and for all. Bracken eventually made her way to Nashville—a dream come true considering it is a songwriter's mecca.Teri Bracken's new album as Brontë Fall, Not Done Yet is about resolve and spirit and ignoring anything in the way of dreaming — even yourself. Bracken wrestles with herself throughout the album. She almost quits, she pulls herself back; she laughs at those who told her to get a more sustainable career; she curses herself for not getting a more sustainable career. The album, defiant and beautiful and mournful and triumphant, is a chronicle of a life lived exactly as Bracken wants, compromising to no one in her quest to continue building a budding and supportive scene for alt-Americana around the country.https://www.brontefall.com/https://linktr.ee/brontefall?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4CGNhbGxzaXRlAjE1AAGnDw6Xr5SZcvarPqUSegemPi_U49RAUn0rrULQYte9wwxe-sJ5Wj_5fRz1ceA_aem_i0Syg85DVncZ8lqfU72o2wTheme song: “Hollywood Faded' by Luna Halo@treymitchellphotography @feeding_the_senses_unsensoredfacebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotographyftsunashville@gmail.com
In this lively episode of Beyond the Shelves, the hosts dive deep into Wuthering Heights—the novel, the new film adaptation, and the passionate discourse surrounding both. After a quick roundup of upcoming author events and current reads, the conversation shifts to Emily Brontë's legacy, the novel's complicated publication history, and why this famously chaotic story continues to captivate readers nearly 200 years later.

Ennis Players are heading into gothic territory for their Spring production at glór. The Moors, a darkly comic play inspired by the world of the Brontë sisters, runs from March 24th to 28th. To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by PRO, Sinéad Clancy, Director, Sandra Cox, Director and cast member, Clare Fitzsimons.
Love Stinks! Month continues its march across the moors this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we confront the year's most scandalous and polarizing adaptation: Emerald Fennell's 2026 reimagining of Wuthering Heights. This isn't your grandmother's Brontë; it's a hyper-stylized, anachronistic, and deeply provocative "bodice-ripper" that trades Victorian restraint for BDSM, heavy-metal corsetry, and a Charli XCX soundtrack. Pour yourself something dark and intoxicating - perhaps our cocktail take on Yearning - and join us as we discuss why this film has everyone from literary scholars to Barbie fans talking.This week, we analyze the relationship between Margot Robbie's fashion-doll Cathy and Jacob Elordi's long-haired, seething Heathcliff. We examine Fennell's decision to strip away the novel's second generation to focus entirely on the toxic, cyclical lust of its leads, and we talk through the film's shocking, "Saltburn-esque" flourishes - like the horse-bridle-and-shackle games that redefine Heathcliff's legendary cruelty. We also consider the controversy surrounding the casting and the film's unapologetic rejection of historical accuracy in favor of creating a "sensory experience" that feels like a teenage girl's fever dream of the 1840s.If you're a Brontë purist ready to clutch your pearls, a fan of Fennell's brand of "campy depravity," or just want to hear us debate whether a story about two people "driving each other mad" is a romance or a red flag, this is the episode you've been waiting for. We're blending our critique of its provocative choices with our biggest disagreement in recent memory, making this a truly wild second chapter in our month of Not-So-Love-Love-Stories.

On “Invited (to the Party),” Brontë Fall captures a feeling that's both deeply personal and universally understood; that electric moment when perseverance finally turns into recognition. It's a song that glows with earned confidence, not bravado, balancing a pop accessibility with the kind of emotional specificity that makes a listener feel like they've been quietly rooting for her all along. Wrapped in Americana-tinged pop, the track plays like a victory lap that still remembers every mile it took to get there.
DEFENDANT: Emily Brontë EVIDENCE: Goldschmidt Cabernet Sauvignon "Katherine" 2023 SCENE OF THE CRIME: The wild moors of Alexander Valley, Sonoma, CA -- Hey — settle in with a bowl of soup and a good glass, because this episode is equal parts wine tasting and literary sleuthing. We pop a bottle of Goldschmidt's “Catherine” from Stonemason Hill in Alexander Valley (Sonoma), sniff out garnet color, black cherry and red‑plum fruit, a blueberry peak of ripeness, and a lovely stone‑like minerality with velvety tannins. It's approachable, not pretentious, and sits in that sweet spot around $40 — perfect to bring to dinner or enjoy on a stormy night with friends (and a dog wedged between you). Then we tumble headfirst into Wuthering Heights: Emily Brontë's 1847 Gothic whirlwind of obsession, class friction, and moor‑bound drama. We talk about Emily's short, wild life, the Brontë family dynamics, the book's thorny questions (are Catherine and Heathcliff half‑siblings? are they in love or simply consumed by each other?), and why the novel is more morally complicated than the romantic myth that often gets pasted onto it. Finally, we air our grievances with Emerald Fennell's new film: gorgeous visuals, striking costumes, and some undeniably hot scenes — but also some big misses. Miscasting, whitewashing a character whose outsider status is crucial to the story, and a sleight-of-hand that ends up glamorizing an abusive, toxic relationship left us frustrated. If you love Wuthering Heights, don't be fooled: this adaptation is a visually lush reinterpretation, not a faithful or thoughtful translation of the novel's core themes. Short version: drink the Catherine (it's delightful), read the book (it's messy, brilliant, and not for the faint‑hearted), and watch the movie cautiously — especially if you're handing it to younger viewers who might mistake obsessive cruelty for tragic romance.
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.

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/

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.

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. Is it brilliant? Is it too much? Or is that the whole idea?

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.

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.

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!
