The Hindu reviews The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Divakaruni:
Karna’s portrayal offers nothing new. His brooding, reclusive presence is reminiscent of Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights and Shashi Kapoor’s Karan in Shyam Benegal’s “Kalyug”, a film adaptation of the Mahabharata. (Priya Krishnan)
The Guelph Mercury mentions the performances of Deborah Dunn's dance piece Wuthering Heights at the Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival:
The third professional act, entitled Wuthering Heights, drew inspiration from Charlotte Bronte's popular novel (sic). (Nicole Visschedyk)
It's so complicated to check this kind of thing? A simple Google search would be enough. It's even worse when the journalist even dares to describe Emily Brontë's novels (yes, in plural) as romantic novels:
[L]a película mantiene su interés a pesar de no ser más que una novela “rosa” en la tradición de novelas de Jane Austen o Emily Bronte, por ejemplo. (Vanguardia, México)
Página 12 describes Jane Eyre 1944 in its account of the Cine vs Literatura movie series that will be shown at the Especial Vídeo Bar in Córdoba, Argentina. (Jane Eyre, June 4 20:00 hrs).

Antique Clippings reproduces a 1895 article in The New York Advertiser where an account of Charlotte Brontë's visit to W.M. Thackeray's house (June 12, 1850) as remembered by her daughter,
Anne Thackeray Ritchie, was published. Jane Eyre: Contradiction of Companionship and Isolation is the title of a paper by Chen Shinzi that can be read here.
