Today is Charlotte Brontë’s birthday.
Do you love her poetry, or know her only through Jane Eyre?
Her first novel was rejected, but the next changed #literature. She had to publish under a man’s name, Currer Bell, because in the 1840s a woman writer could be dismissed before anyone had even read the first page.
One of the most famous authentic portraits of Charlotte was drawn by George Richmond in 1850 👇

Heathcliff is the original man who will do *literally* anything else except go to therapy.
Use children as pawns in a Xanatos gambit to snatch up land just to make the people he sees as slighting him miserable? Yep. Abuse a dog to demonstrate control? Yep.
Why does this get sold as "the greatest love story" again? Like greatest petty revenge story, yes. Love story? Eh. There are love stories here but they're so not the point.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Note: There are some spoilers below for a book that is almost 200 years old. This is a book I read to fill gaps in my having read The Great Books. It is pitched as "the greatest romance." In my understanding of the Romance genre, that is not a true statement. This may be a Romantic (as in the aesthetic movement of the early 19th century) novel but it is certainly not a Romance (as in a story regarding a growing relationship between two or more characters which must by genre convention end in […]https://alexanderkeane.com/2026/03/08/wuthering-heights-by-emily-bronte/

The #Brontë Renaissance Continues With #AimeeLouWood as #JaneEyre

I have finished Jane Eyre.
I don’t hate it as much as Wuthering Heights, but it was predictably disappointing.
The naive Tenant of Wildfell Hall said, “I can fix him!” And learned to her horror that she could not.
Jane Eyre said “I can fix him!” And god showed him the error of his ways and he was fixed. The liar didn’t deserve an unearned redemption arc.
No wonder Charlotte hated Anne’s book so much.

‘The real takeaway from this #film for me, is about who gets to make art, whose voice matters, and what they choose to disregard, in this #creative climate. For all its attempts to be shocking, Fennell’s film has stripped away all that is #radical about #WutheringHeights, and even aesthetically her attempt to out-weird a #Bronte falls flat, feeling to me like a two-hour-16-minute-long perfume advertisement for watered-down eau de Tim Burton.’
This review of the new ‘Wuthering Heights’ film really captures why we need to #defundculture - not to destroy it, but to radically redistribute resources and opportunities. It’s not just about what gets made, but about who gets to make it, and how cultural power quietly filters out anyone or anything genuinely different and disruptive.
Defunding #culture in this sense, isn’t only about budgets; it’s about how institutions systematically defund risk, anger and unruly voices.

"Casting choices such as Fennell’s preserve a system that undervalues northern women ... Casting Wuthering Heights without regard for regional specificity is not a neutral creative decision." #Yorkshire #Bronte #film #movies www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

It feels very British that there is a mystery that could be solved by opening a door and talking to someone, but that simply is not done.
Especially a secret that all the servants seem to know except one.

„Obwohl allen klar ist, dass die #madchen begabt sind, setzt die Familie ganz traditionell auf den Sohn. Branwell soll Künstler werden, finden der Vater und die Schwestern, er wird gefördert und verhätschelt, doch er ist psychisch zu labil, schwankt zwischen Jähzorn und Depressionen und wird schliesslich alkohol- und opiumsüchtig.“ #misogynie #frauen #WutheringHeights #Brontë

And of course Jane Eyre will fall in love with the first man who isn’t terrible to her.
Not that she has the opportunity to meet anyone outside her new employer.

Since Jane Eyre is not the most shocking of the Brontë novels, I know it won’t have a lesbian romance. But with how much she adores Helen Burns there’s got to be a slash fic out there somewhere.
Of course knowing the Brontë’s love of tragedy, I’m bracing myself for Helen to die of consumption at age 19.

"If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should— so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again."

Okay, I like Jane Eyre for this description of ADHD alone.
"That is curious," said I; "it is so easy to be careful."
"For you I have no doubt it is. I observed you in your class this morning, and saw you were closely attentive: your thoughts never seemed to wander while Miss Miller explained the lesson and questioned you. Now, mine continually rove away; …“

'Magical' #NatureReserve in #UK that inspired #BronteSisters named 'wonder of the world'
The first of its kind nature reserve in #WestYorkshire has been named one of the 'wonders of the world' to visit in 2026 and it's a traveller's paradise.
by Parul Sharma, 24 Jan 2026
"A stunning nature reserve, whose landscape famously inspired the Brontë sisters, is being touted as a must-see for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers.
Article continues below"This pioneering nature reserve in West Yorkshire has been making waves after recently being named one of the wonders of the world to visit in 2026 by esteemed international travel magazine, Condé Nast Traveller.
"The picturesque reserve was established in May 2025 as part of King Charles' initiative of 25 National Nature Reserves (#NNRs), designed to conserve wildlife and celebrate UK landscapes by providing enhanced protection to the unique topography within these designated areas.
"Covering 3,148 acres (1,274 hectares) - roughly double the size of Ilkley Moor - the reserve connects eight natural sites within the Bradford and #SouthPennines area, including the famous #Penistone Country Park in #Haworth, once home to the #Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne."

I did not finish Wuthering Heights before the end of 2025, so it is my first book of 2026.
A strangely happy ending for such a tragic tale.

"What can you say about the #Brontë sisters that hasn’t been said a thousand times already? One of the most important literary families in history, it was not one, but three geniuses making their mark. Hitting back against social conventions, the Brontës were renowned for their conviction and clarity."

I am the one whose image is great in Egypt and the one who has no image among the barbarians,
I am the one who has been hated everywhere, and who has been loved everywhere.
I am the one whom they call Life, and you have called Death …
I am godless, and I am one whose God is great.Das ist aus dem Hymnus #Brontë Perfect Mind, auf den ich bei meiner Wanderung durch mein aktuelles Rabbit Hole Kontext zu & Interpretationen der #Offenbarung des Johannes gestoßen bin.

The #Night is darkening round me,
The #Wild #Winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant #Spell has bound me
And I #Cannot, cannot go.The giant #Trees are bending
Their bare #Boughs weighed with #Snow.
And the #Storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.Clouds beyond #Clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing #Drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.- Emily #Brontë, #English #Novelist & #Poet, #Spellbound
