- The Pride and Prejudice Musical which will open on Broadway in 2010 (zomg!)
- The Pride and Prejudice Marvel Comic. A Q+A with the author.
Meanwhile, Bronte-blog brings us news of a French teen Wuthering Heights obsession brought on by Twilight-mania. It's seriously amazing and one of the linked articles includes this graf;
At chain store Fnac, the novel is described as the "favourite book of Bella and Edward, the two heroes of Twilight!" Teenage fansites are buzzing with chat about the book. "Fan de bella" thought it was "GENIAL" and "couldn't stop crying it was so beautiful", while "Flora" from Strasbourg said she'd "adored" it for its "unparalleled violence", its "mad poetry" and "profound passion". "Bella is the dignified descendent of the romantic Victorian heroine, which is seen in her sometimes disproportionate, slightly mad reactions, which are reminiscent of a certain Catherine," said a third commentator.
GENIAL indeed.
I have to say I'm a bit horrified by the thought of a Pride and Prejudice musical!
ReplyDeleteI laughed my head off but I have to admit...I Loved how those French teens used their words. Those phrases will be rolling around in my head for days (and making me laugh each and every time).
