#bronte200

To be honest I was a little disappointed with the show as a whole. It didn’t cover any new ground in terms of Emily’s Life and it didn’t really tell us anything much. The most interesting part actually about Emily was the bit with the Hawk. But the whole secret world of title was misleading since there was nothing secret or new about it. Most if not all Bronte fans know about the parsonage and the moors, that’s not secret or new. 

I had issues with the way Lily spoke as though we knew little about Emily, while it’s true we know less about her than we do about Charlotte, we still know a considerable amount about Emily’s life. And while there were really interesting moments - talking to Patti Smith was one of them - I dunno, the whole thing just kinda fell short.

It’s so clear that Lily Cole is passionate about Wuthering Heights and I will stand by my belief that the Bronte Society weren’t wrong in hiring her. She cares about women’s rights, literary arts and she’s passionate about the book, so she’s a good candidate. And I cannot wait to see her film about foundlings. When Lily Cole spoke about how violent the book is and all that, I was so proud because she really seemed to get it. But then there was calling it a romance a number of times, not just by her but by people she spoke to, ti was such a letdown.

Alice and Robin end up in a strange place. They aren't in the United Realms. So where are they?

Crossover between "Once Upon A Time" and "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë.

Happy 200th birthday to Branwell Brontë, brother of Anne, Charlotte, and Emily. While Charlotte Brontë, and her novel Jane Eyre will be featured in our upcoming exhibit, Branwell was also a prolific writer. Pictured are the works by or about Branwell in the library stacks. Special Collections does not hold anything written by Branwell Brontë, which is perhaps representative of his relatively poor literary renown compared to that of his more successful sisters.
