40 years ago English singer Kate Bush (b. 1958) released 'Wuthering Heights', a song influenced by English author Emily Brontë's (1818-1848) 1847 gothic novel of the same name. Now "Bush will join the poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy, the Scottish makar, or national poet, Jackie Kay and the novelist Jeanette Winterson in a summer project celebrating the Brontë sisters. All four have been commissioned to write a piece of poetry or prose which will then be engraved on stones positioned over the eight-mile route between the sisters’ birthplace and the family parsonage. Winterson will celebrate the Brontë legacy as a whole, Duffy will celebrate Charlotte, Kay has Anne and Bush has Emily." - Mark Brown for The Guardian, 26/04/18.

Finally reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë and I am really enjoying it! Almost halfway through and it is a little slow right now, but it’s still very interesting to read, even though I know the premise and the aspect of mystery isn’t as mysterious 😅 Anne’s writing is amazing though, there’s so many lines and paragraphs that I have underlined already 😍 Have you read Wildfell Hall? What did you think of it? 😌 #books #bookstagram #classicliterature #classicscommunity2020 #classicscommunity #thetenantofwildfellhall #annebronte #thebrontes #wordsworthclassics https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1HmmSg4BE/?igshid=lohyf8dcv3hh

ahh, classics. the light of my life, the bane of my existence, I love you so 😌 who are your favourite classic authors? you all know my favourite is my sassy boi Oscar Wilde, but I also adore Jane Austen and the Brontës, though I have only read Jane Eyre by Charlotte so far. I also love Mary Shelley, but I am guilty odbor having read anything by her 🙈 and I love Thomas Hardy, but his lenghty descriptions of nature will be the death of me 😄 #books #bookstagram #classicliterature #classicscommunity #janeausten #oscarwilde #thebrontesisters #thebrontes #thomashardy #maryshelley #williammakepeacethackeray https://www.instagram.com/p/B_NYaemAGbi/?igshid=6wfn32yxli6d
