A new mashup retelling, Jane Eyre and werewolves:
by Polly J Mordant ASIN : B0G1YHLLPY Publisher : Sigilhouse Press April 1, 2026
This is no ordinary werewolf novel but a complete re-imagining of Bronte's Jane Eyre. There are monsters in that book, the most memorable being Edward Fairfax Rochester, a wolf of a totally different order. Fast forward into the present day andyou'll find The Last Wolf of Thornfield is not a complete retelling. There is no woman, monstered and mad, held captive in its third floor attic. There is no whiff of bigamy. But there are resonances. The novel is, essentially, still a dark, gothic romance. But at its heart, it is also a full-blooded werewolf story: of Edward Fairfax, handsome and brooding, who hates what he is and is determined his line should not continue; and of his battles with a remotely related Highland pack which, since he refuses to take a mate, would wrest Thornfield from him and continue the line without him. So far, so straightforward. Until a young woman, Jane Reid, arrives at the Hall not knowing what she really is or where her true origins lie. ... and that changes everything.
Evoke explores the filmography of Alison Oliver, including her Isabella in Wuthering Heights 2026. The film is reviewed in Vocal Media's Geeks (2 and a half weeks): I do think this is one of those films that might work better if you have no attachment to the book. If I hadn’t read Wuthering Heights, I probably would have enjoyed it more as a visually striking, slightly chaotic gothic romance. But knowing the source material makes it hard not to notice what’s missing. In the end, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I wasn’t really watching an adaptation of a literary classic, but rather someone’s personal, teenage interpretation of it. It’s a film that looks incredible, and there are moments that almost work, but it never quite captures the emotional depth or complexity of the original.
Olympic and The Globe and Mail discuss how Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier won ice dance silver at the figure skating world championships: After skating to Govardo’s cover of “Vincent” at Milano Cortina 2026, Gilles and Poirier returned to an old favourite for their free program, performing their iconic Wuthering Heights routine from two seasons ago, earning 125.07 points. (Chloe Robisnon) I have also loved recent episodes of The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe, including one in which Olivia Chaney shared the pinch-me backstory of how she heard that her haunting version of The Dark Eyed Sailor, recorded for Radcliffe’s show in 2013, was to have a star turn in the soundtrack of Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights. (Patricia Nicol) I consider myself fundamentally unshockable when it comes to sex in film and television. I sat through Emerald Fennell’s perfectly enjoyable but entirely silly Wuthering Heights, rolling my eyes as the director tried to unnerve her audience with sexual imagery. It’s going to take more than a bit of misused riding equipment to shock anyone who grew up in the internet age. I felt like a tired husband on Valentine’s Day, my wife parading morosely around in frilly underwear, unable to draw my attention away from my phone.

A new book about the friendship of Charlotte Brontë and Elizabeth Gaskell:
by Susan Dunne´ Pen & Sword History ISBN: 9781036135096 30th March 2026
Charlotte Brontë and Elizabeth Gaskell shared one of the most remarkable literary friendships of the 19th century, one that ultimately led to the creation of one of the most controversial literary biographies ever written. The Life of Charlotte Brontë continues to spark debate over 150 years after its publication, but the deeper story of the friendship that inspired it has never been fully explored until now. In this fascinating and well-researched narrative, the intertwined lives of these two literary greats come to life. What drew them together despite their contrasting personalities? How did they influence each other’s work, navigate the challenges of publishing, and contend with the harsh judgment of critics? Did Elizabeth Gaskell’s well-meaning interventions, both personal and professional, shape the course of Charlotte’s life in ways never before considered? Through letters, historical records, and fresh insights, this book reveals the warmth, respect, and complexities of their brief but profound connection. A tale of admiration, resilience, and literary legacy, it sheds new light on the enduring impact of a friendship that helped shape our understanding of one of literature’s most beloved figures.
The Standard interviews Aimee Lou Wood and she mentions her forthcoming Jane Eyre role. Aside from film work, she has also been cast as Jane in a new television adaptation of Jane Eyre, a project she is, she says simply, “so excited” about. So, if Pattie Boyd represents discipline, Jane Eyre offers something else entirely. “I think it's going to be great to then do something like Jane Eyre,” she explains. “It's like, ‘okay, I'm playing Pattie. She was this really cool style icon, gorgeous, popular, sociable, and then I'll get to go and play feral Jane, which feels that feels more that feels more like home to me.’” (Lisa McLoughlin)
Swooon echoes the news that the Wuthering Heights retelling The Favourites is getting its own screen adaptation. Move over, Catherine and Heathcliff. It’s time to let Katarina “Kat” Shaw and Heath Rocha take center stage. Layne Fargo’s The Favorites altered our brain chemistry when she released her ice dancing romantic drama in 2025. The Wuthering Heights retelling leaves the moors behind for the ice rink as Kat and Heath emerge from their troubled childhoods looking to win gold. On March 24, Deadline reported that The Favorites would be getting a Netflix movie adaptation. (Avery Thompson)
The film doesn’t fail because it takes risks—if anything, its notion of transgression feels oddly adolescent—but because of the banality it ultimately imposes on what is, in essence, a profoundly tragic story of ill-fated lovers. (Diego Lerer)
The Times has an article on the fact that some parents are 'paying up to £800 a day for live-in tutors over the Easter holidays as they seek last-minute help for their teenagers’ GCSEs and A-levels'. It is reminiscent of the Victorian governess who would live with families while teaching their children, famously depicted in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre.
