År 1847 debuterade tre systrar från en avlägsen prästgård i Yorkshire med varsin roman. Med sina starka skildringar av begär, död och kvinnlig självständighet väckte "Jane Eyre", "Wuthering Heights" och "Agnes Grey" både anstöt och fascination i sin tid. I dag hör systrarna Brontës verk till litteraturhistoriens odödliga klassiker. Men Anne, Charlotte och Emilys författarskap har också omgetts av berättelser om isolering, sjuklighet och tragiskt tidiga dödsfall. Vad är egentligen sant om systrarna Brontë? Vad var det mest banbrytande med deras litteratur? Och hur har myterna om deras liv på Haworths vindpinade hedar påverkat hur vi läser deras böcker? Bildningspodden följer systrarna Brontë från barndomens fantasivärldar till det litterära genombrottet och vidare till böckernas efterliv. Gäst i studion är BIRGITTA BERGLUND, mångårig lektor och forskare i engelsk litteratur vid Lunds universitet, specialiserad på 17- och 1800-talens kvinnliga författarskap, däribland systarna Brontë. Samtalet leds av Magnus Bremmer. Bildningspodden är en del av Anekdot – det digitala bildningsmagasinet, producerat vid Humanistiska fakulteten på Stockholms universitet och finansierat av Kungl. Vitterhetsakademien och Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. Läs mer på anekdot.se.

Before the zombie ate anybody, it went to work. It was a Haitian creature—a body without a will, dug up and put on a sugar plantation—and the horror wasn't that it might come for you… no, not at all. The horror was that you might actually become one. That's the whole thing.So Pete drags the room back past Romero to the three decades when the movie zombie was still a labor instrument. White Zombie (1932) is the first one ever made. This means of course that nobody had figured out yet what a zombie was for, so it lands on a mill full of enslaved men who are not, notably, Black. They're the boss's rivals and creditors, converted into staff. The movie is untroubled by all of them and scandalized by one white woman's captivity. Tommy and Kynan both want to know whether the movie has any idea what it's doing.I Walked with a Zombie (1943) is Val Lewton handed a title he detested and answering it by adapting Jane Eyre, true story, which kinda almost works. After that, Wes Craven goes to Haiti in 1988, gets eleven of his thirty shooting days, and makes a zombie movie where nobody eats anyone and nobody is put to work. You'd think the mental model gets all broken with this one. Fear not. Running underneath: what these movies knew versus what we're giving them credit for, why the creator is always scarier than the creature, and Pete's standing position that being buried alive is the worst thing that can happen to a person.Reference LinksFrom the showShow home: Sitting in the DarkLast month's episode: The Land of the Screams and the Home of De-PravedTommy's cursed-objects episode: Articles of LoathingBecome a member: The Next Reel family of film shows · join hereTonight's triple featureWhite Zombie (1932, dir.

Ce sont des destins de femmes qui seront évoqués dans Au bonheur des livres cette semaine. Claire Chazal reçoit en effet Nina Bouraoui, pour Championne (Ed. JC Lattès) et Lilia Hassaine pour JE (Ed. Gallimard), deux romans particulièrement remarqués dans la rentrée littéraire. La première interroge ainsi la place des femmes au fil d'une sorte de fable à suspense, qui met en scène une apprentie-championne de tennis dans une société patriarcale non nommée, mais qui pourrait ressembler à l'Iran ou l'Algérie... Tandis que la seconde utilise un personnage secondaire du célèbre roman de Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre, pour raconter le destin d'une épouse soumise, et en faire une espèce de manifeste fictionnel pour l'émancipation et la liberté. Nul doute que les deux écrivaines auront beaucoup à nous dire sur la place des femmes, dans la société et dans la littérature, au cours de leur conversation avec Claire Chazal. Hébergé par Acast.

C'est l'un des livres phares de cette rentrée littéraire. JE, publié aux éditions Gallimard, quatrième roman de l'autrice Lilia Hassaine, figure sur la première sélection en vue du prix Goncourt. Dans cette fiction, la romancière reprend l'histoire du Jane Eyre de Charlotte Brontë, mais du point de vue de Bertha Antoinette Rochester, la première épouse de Mr Rochester, enfermée durant dix ans dans un grenier en raison de sa folie supposée. Sous la plume de Lilia Hassaine, Bertha Antoinette Rochester n'est plus le bourreau mais la victime d'un homme violent et manipulateur ; ce n'est plus une femme aliénée et dangereuse mais une victime sous emprise et abandonnée par ses pairs. Un roman d'époque tout ce qu'il y a de plus contemporain. RFI : Dans JE, vous reprenez l'histoire du Jane Eyre de Charlotte Brontë, mais à travers les yeux de Bertha Antoinette Rochester, la première épouse de Mr Rochester, enfermée pendant 10 ans dans un grenier en raison de sa folie supposée. D'où vous est venue l'envie de raconter l'histoire, du point de vue de ce personnage omniprésent dans Jane Eyre et qu'on ne rencontre pourtant jamais vraiment ? Lilia Hassaine : Le point de départ de cette histoire, c'est vraiment une histoire plutôt personnelle qui m'a conduite à m'interroger sur cette femme, ce personnage féminin dans lequel je me suis reconnue en relisant Jane Eyre à l'âge adulte. Et surtout, je me suis posé la question suivante : que fait-on d'une histoire personnelle ? Faut-il aller vers le témoignage, ou faut-il que je raconte cette histoire au présent ? Je trouvais plus intéressant de montrer ce qu'il y avait d'invariant, d'intemporel dans cette question des violences, et comment, aujourd'hui, je peux me reconnaître dans un personnage du XIXe siècle, dans cette femme enfermée. À partir de mon imagination, des trous laissés par le roman de Charlotte Brontë, il y a un autre récit possible qui est effectivement plus contemporain. En donnant une histoire et une parole à Antoinette, vous donnez aussi plus de profondeur au personnage de Rochester. Vous le décrivez avec tous les atours de ce qu'on appellerait aujourd'hui un « pervers narcissique » : froid, calculateur, manipulateur. D'où vous est venue cette intuition-là, vis-à-vis de ce personnage ? Finalement, tout est déjà dans le roman de Charlotte Brontë. Ce n'est pas un personnage sympathique, c'est un personnage qui est assez menteur. C'est un homme qui séquestre son épouse à domicile. Et je trouvais intéressant de voir ce qui, dans ce personnage, avait pu tant me plaire à l'adolescence, et à quel point ces comportements ont participé à la construction d'un imaginaire romantique chez les jeunes femmes que nous avons été. Ceci dit, sans le travail de Charlotte Brontë, je ne me serais jamais autorisée à détruire un personnage, ou à me dire que j'allais sauver Antoinette. Simplement, il y avait déjà tout en germe, et assez d'espace pour un imaginaire plus contemporain. Une autre thématique qui est très présente dans votre réinterprétation, c'est la dimension de l'esclavage, des rapports de domination coloniaux, du racisme en fait. Pourquoi est-ce que vous avez souhaité intégrer cet aspect-là à votre relecture ? Parce que c'est déjà présent dans le roman de Charlotte Brontë. Rochester a un regard de propriétaire ; et ce qui rend possible la violence de cet homme à l'égard de sa femme, ce qui l'amplifie, c'est le contexte raciste. Lorsqu'Antoinette arrive en Angleterre [de Jamaïque, NDLR], elle a beau être blanche, elle subit une forme de racisme car elle est créole. Elle est née sur une terre noire, on la soupçonne donc de l'être un peu ; elle vient d'une île où il fait chaud, or on imagine à l'époque que la chaleur peut rendre fou. Ces imaginaires se rencontrent, viennent légitimer les violences, et les rendent plus facilement acceptables.  Existe-t-il, selon vous, d'autres personnages féminins de la littérature à qui il faudrait redonner une histoire ou une voix ? Parfois, c'est vraiment le contexte culturel qui a provoqué des lectures qui n'étaient pas forcément liées aux intentions de l'auteur. Je n'ai pas l'impression qu'il faille apporter un regard moderne. Mais notre société évolue, ce qui nous amène à revisiter des œuvres du passé et à nous rendre compte que l'intention première de l'auteur était parfois très en avance. En tant que lecteur, on comprend ce que l'on a envie de comprendre, ce que l'époque nous pousse à comprendre. Je trouve qu'il est plus intéressant d'aborder les œuvres littéraires sous cet angle-là ; de voir ce qu'elles ont déjà en elles, de réflexions, de troubles, de jeux avec les préjugés, etc., plutôt que d'essayer de déconstruire a posteriori.

Drusilla and Josh discuss the Val Lewton classic, I Walked with a Zombie. They are joined by Black Zombie director, Maya Annik Bedward. From wiki: “I Walked with a Zombie is a 1943 American horror film directed by Jacques Tourneur and produced by Val Lewton for RKO Pictures. It stars James Ellison, Frances Dee, and Tom Conway, and follows a Canadian nurse who travels to care for the ailing wife of a sugar plantation owner in the Caribbean, where she witnesses Vodou rites and possibly encounters the walking dead. The screenplay, written by Curt Siodmak and Ardel Wray, is based on an article of the same title by Inez Wallace, and also partly reinterprets the narrative of the 1847 novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.[1][2]”Also discussed: Dark Shadows, Bunny Lake is Missing, Onslaught, Theresa Harris, Jacques Tourneur, Val Lewton, Curse of the Cat People (1944), The 7th Victim (1943), Black Zombie (2026), George Romero, Night of the Living Dead (1968), World War Z (2013), Darby Jones, voodoo, Sinners (2025), Haitian vodou, Crooklyn (1994), NEXT WEEK: Memories of Murder (2003), Maya Annik Bedward:https://www.mayaannik.com/aboutBloodhaus: https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

In this episode, Moira walks Adrian through the genesis and long shadow of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (1847), from the book's leery reception in its own day to its rediscovery as both a feminist text and as a possible site for a critique of certain strands of feminism.Works cited in this episode:Sandra Gilbert/Susan Gubar, The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination is worth buying, but you can also find it here.Gayatri Spivak, "Three Women's Texts and a Critique of Imperialism" (1985) can be found here.

Were women in the past completely uneducated — or worse, cruelly denied any meaningful opportunity to receive an education by their parents and society at large? Some modern scholars say so, but in this "back-to-school" edition of Rachel's Trivia Challenge, the Lutheran Ladies are revisiting key literary sources as they not only explore the history of women's education but also investigate whether the prevailing narrative of our day is truly just to those who came before us.   With questions drawn from Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and other notable authors writing in and about their own times, this quiz will tickle the minds of literary mavens and education enthusiasts alike — even though, in the end, it may raise as many questions as it answers.   Sources referenced in this episode include ...  Gender in Cultural History: Gender and Education  Luther on education: arnold__lut_33_3.pdf  Martin Luther and female education. - Free Online Library  Martin Luther: A Sermon on Keeping Children in School (1530)  William Shakespeare, Much Ado about Nothing  Phillis Wheatley | The Poetry Foundation  Poems, by Phillis Wheatley   The Old Deluder Satan Act: deluder.html  Quote by Jane Austen: “It is amazing to me," said Bingley, "How young ...”  Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice; Mansfield Park   Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre  Social History of American Education | Education | Research Starters | EBSCO Research  The story of female education in the US: from illiterate to top of the class | World Economic Forum  ERIC - ED119389 - A History of Compulsory Education Laws.

Katharina Grosse talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Grosse, who was born in Freiberg im Breisgau, Germany, in 1961, sees painting as an expansive field, which might be explored on canvas, but also directly on gallery walls, on vast textile hangings, on sculptures and natural forms like earth and trees brought into the gallery, as well as in public space and even directly onto the landscape. Using an industrial spray gun, she sees colour as a material, and creates dense swaths of rich hues that form dazzling relationships and absorb and often surround the viewer. Whatever form her work takes, it clearly evokes Katharina's choreography of gestures as well as representing a response to and creation of architectural space. Seeing painting as a medium that reflects and simultaneously articulates the world, Katharina invites an active response from her viewers, as much bodily as it is visual. She discusses how making her work immediately meets with “feedback” from the surfaces and environments in which she is acting, how she is “at home in flow” when working across multiple pieces, and how she employs colours as a cluster, always in relation to one another. She reflects on the early impact of choreographer Pina Bausch, her residency at Edvard Munch's former studio at Ekely in Norway, the physicality in the paint of Lovis Corinth, the “razor-sharp sentences” of the writer Annie Ernaux and her fascination with Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, and the inspiring vision and “ecology” of the film-maker Agnes Varda. Plus, she gives insight into life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Katharina Grosse: Black Bed, MUNCH, Oslo, 26 September-31 December.

This week, we're continuing our side quest into classic literature with Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Jane Eyre evolves from an impoverished orphan, shunned by her remaining living family, into a refined young woman of fine moral standards, eager to move beyond the charity school she was sent to as a child. Armed with a sharp mind, she takes a job at Thornfield Hall where she serves as a governess for a young French girl, Adele, who is the ward of Thornfield's owner, Edward Rochester. Jane and Edward form a fast friendship, which is challenged by social barriers. Though they overcome these barriers, when Edward's secrets come to light, they cannot be ignored by Jane. She sets off on her own with limited resources, seeking peace and clarity, but her journey leads her to so much more than she anticipated.**Jump to about 13 minutes into the episode to bypass the character and plot summaries.**

What if the Lie the Character Believes isn't really a lie? For years I've taught the Lie the Character Believes as the foundation of character arc. But over time, I've come to see that this concept may point toward something much deeper than just a mistaken belief. In this episode, I explore three increasingly complex models for understanding the Lie the Character Believes—from a simple false belief, to a limited perspective, and finally to an ego identity. Along the way, we'll look at why character arc may be less about transformation and more about alignment, how the backstory Ghost creates the identities that shape our stories, and why the deepest arcs mirror the lifelong process of individuation. We talk about: • Why the Lie the Character Believes isn't always a lie • The difference between false beliefs, limited perspectives, and ego identities • How the Ghost creates the coping mechanisms behind character arc • Why character arc may be better understood as alignment rather than transformation • The relationship between story, consciousness, and individuation • Why archetypal stories resonate so deeply with readers • Examples from Jane Eyre, Everything Everywhere All at Once, A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Matrix, and more Whether you're developing a story, studying character arc, or simply fascinated by the deeper psychology of storytelling, I hope this conversation offers a fresh perspective on one of story theory's most foundational concepts.

In this monthly episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas returns with his August edition of What's On in London — and this one comes with a personal twist, because Jonathan will be in London himself later in the month. August is London's most contradictory month: the busiest tourist season of the year, a million-plus visitors, packed attractions and carnival streets — and yet simultaneously the month when Londoners themselves flee to Cornwall and France, leaving whole districts strangely quiet. Jonathan covers it all: the Notting Hill Carnival (August 30–31, its 60th anniversary this year, Europe's largest street festival, free entry); the major royal and historic building openings including Buckingham Palace State Rooms, Houses of Parliament summer tours, and the freshly restored Banqueting House reopening August 1st; London's brand new museum, Trent Park House of Secrets — just opened July 21st, telling the extraordinary wartime spy story that was kept under the Official Secrets Act for over 50 years; new West End openings including Jane Eyre the Musical and Kimberly Akimbo; the blockbuster exhibitions still running and closing this month; live music at Victoria Park and Wembley; family-friendly highlights; the VAT tourist discount reducing admission prices across major attractions this summer; and Jonathan's own personal list of what he's booked and planning to see — including the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace's East Wing tour, the Wallace Collection's Churchill as Painter exhibition, and Trent Park.

The Saturday Steel Band Competition (August 29) requires a ticket; Sunday Children's Day and Monday main parade are free. Arrive early, follow your nose to the food stalls, and keep your wits about you in the crowds. Trent Park House of Secrets — London's brand new museum, opened July 21st — tells the extraordinary story of the WWII intelligence operation where 59 captured German generals were housed in apparent luxury, never knowing the entire house was bugged. Often called "the other Bletchley Park." Tickets are £14 (~$20), open Tuesday–Sunday, and it's on the Piccadilly Line at Oakwood station. Jonathan is going. Buckingham Palace State Rooms are open daily through August 31, 9:30am to 7:30pm — the longest opening hours of the season. Jonathan has booked both the State Rooms tour and the newly opened East Wing tour. If you haven't booked yet, check for remaining availability immediately; the best slots are gone but cancellations do appear. Banqueting House on Whitehall — Inigo Jones's 1622 masterpiece with its Rubens ceiling, the building outside which Charles I was executed — reopens fully on August 1st after a major restoration. Adults £10, under 16s free, open Thursday–Monday. New lift for step-free access. One of London's most underrated experiences. The Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London — the world's oldest unbroken military ceremony, performed every night for at least 700 years — releases the next month's tickets on the first working day of each month. The next release is August 3rd at 1pm. Jonathan got a ticket; it requires an early wake-up and sells out within hours of release. The UK government has instituted a 15% VAT discount on tourist attraction admissions this summer — which means lower prices at major London attractions. If you booked in advance, you may be entitled to a partial refund for the difference; check with each venue. Lower prices also means slightly larger crowds. The Greenwich + Docklands International Festival runs August 21 to September 6 — 17 days of completely free outdoor theatre, circus and dance across Greenwich Park, Woolwich, and the Docklands. The two-day Greenwich Fair on August 22–23 in Greenwich Park is the unmissable centerpiece. No ticket required — just show up. Several major exhibitions close on or around August 23rd — a critical date. Zurbarán at the National Gallery, Fairy Tales at the British Library, David Hockney at the Royal Academy, Hervien Anderson at Tate Britain, and Patrick Caulfield at the Royal Academy all close that day. If you're arriving after August 23rd, these are gone. The BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall run all month and into September — the world's largest classical music festival, with day-of standing tickets potentially available on the door. Jonathan hasn't managed to go yet and still wants to. It's worth trying even if you can't book ahead. August in London is genuinely two cities at once: over a million tourists fill the attractions and the carnival streets, while large swaths of residential London go quiet as locals escape. The wise visitor uses this: the tourist attractions are busy, but the parks, the residential neighborhoods, and the early mornings are surprisingly peaceful. Soundbites "August is London's most contradictory month. Every guidebook tells you it's peak season — and every guidebook is right. And yet at exactly the same time, London kind of empties out. Locals flee to Cornwall, to France, to anywhere that isn't a stuffy office in a heat wave. Whole districts can go completely quiet." — Jonathan on August's strange duality. "The Notting Hill Carnival is that one weekend where London's multicultural and diverse character — which can feel oddly invisible at other times of the year — is front and center. It's loud. It's joyful. And it's entirely free." — Jonathan on why the carnival matters. "They captured high-level German officers and put them all in one place. What the prisoners didn't know was that the entire house was wired with microphones. And hidden in a concealed basement, around a hundred secret listeners — many of them German-speaking Jewish refugees who had fled the Nazis — were recording and transcribing every careless word." — Jonathan on Trent Park House of Secrets. "I have wanted to go inside Buckingham Palace for twenty years. I'm finally doing it this year. I've got my tickets booked. I'm going to do the State Room tour, I'm going to see the freshly rehung picture gallery, and I've booked the East Wing tour. That is going to take a whole Saturday. I cannot wait." — Jonathan on his long-awaited Buckingham Palace visit. "The Ceremony of the Keys is considered the world's longest military ceremony. They say it's been running for a thousand years — I'm skeptical, but at least as long as there's been a Tower of London. I woke up early and managed to snag a ticket before they sold out. Because they do sell out immediately." — Jonathan on booking the Ceremony of the Keys. "Banqueting House. Inigo Jones's masterpiece on Whitehall, with its Rubens ceiling. The one surviving fragment of the old Palace of Whitehall — the very spot where Charles I was executed in 1649. It reopens for the summer on August 1st. That is a lot of history in one place." — Jonathan on Banqueting House reopening. "The government has instituted a fifteen percent discount off the twenty percent VAT for tourists visiting tourist attractions this summer. So this month you will see lower prices at all of London's major tourist attractions. And if you booked in advance, you should be getting a refund." — Jonathan on the summer VAT tourist discount. "I love Star Trek. I have seen every episode of Star Trek dozens of times. You can't see over there, but I'm building the LEGO Enterprise D model right now. And I'm going to go see this exhibition because it's the 60th anniversary and the producers don't seem to want to celebrate it much — but everybody else is." — Jonathan on his plan to visit the Star Trek at 60 Trail at the Science Museum. "Several things close on August 23rd. I'm arriving after August 23rd. So I'm going to miss the David Hockney, the Zurbarán, the Tracey Emin. It's a bit annoying. But it is what it is." — Jonathan on the painful August 23rd exhibition closing cliff. "If you see a slightly sun-birthed Anglophile wandering the food stalls at one of the festivals going on later in August — do say hello. It might just be me." — Jonathan's closing invitation.

Marlon and Jake explore why we're so eager to revisit the worlds of our favorite stories, asking whether great characters are better left where their authors left them—or if there's value in imagining what came before or after. Tune in as they unpack the appeal of sequels, the pitfalls of origin stories, and why some fictional worlds are more powerful when they remain a mystery.

YA masters Krystal Sutherland (The Invocations), Joanna Nadin (author of 90+ books for children and adults) and Moira Buffini (Songlight) on hooking teen readers from the very first page, plotting methods that tame a whole novel, and why stories matter so much to young people.

Why treating writing as a job, not a calling, makes rejection survivable. Whether writers should think about their audience.
