Jane Shilling describes in The Times what she thinks is 'to dress like Jane Eyre':

I encountered the extreme version of this handy rule in Moscow, at a book fair in the preperestroika 1980s, which I attended dressed like Jane Eyre, all scrubbed face and orphan’s homespun, on the ground that communist women would despise such capitalist frivolities as dress.

The Portuguese Jornal de Notícias presents the new book by Agustina Bessa-Luís and Graça Morais: As Metamorfoses. It seems that the book contains some references to Emily Brontë:

Nas 115 páginas, há também incursões pela obra de Ovídio e evocações frequentes a Musil, Maeterlinck, Emily Brontë e Flaubert, afinal, a própria genealogia literária da escritora que celebrou há pouco mais de um mês o 85.º aniversário. (Agostinho Santos and Sérgio Almeida)
