The Brontë sisters in the media

Recently, we focussed on Charles Dicken's work and how this has been portrayed in different ways by the media. To complement this, we thought that we would continue our blog today by concentrating on how the Brontës' work has been interpreted by film, stage and audio productions. Charlotte, Emily and Anne's works remain some of the best known and most loved work in fiction and they have found their way into a variety of productions.


Some of the most recent gems include:



Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (BBC, 2006)
Charlotte Brontë's Villette (Serial for BBC Radio 4, 2009)

It is worth noting that we posted an entry on Jane Eyre back in March, click here to read about Symbolism in Jane Eyre http://crossref-it.blogspot.com/2009/03/symbolism-in-charlotte-brontes-jane.html

There have been so many Brontë adaptations and hopefully there will be a lot more to come. Are there any that you have particularly enjoyed?
