A tremendous Heathcliff

The Telegraph, briefly reviewing Sky1's The Take, whose cast includes Tom Hardy, thinks that,

Hardy, though, was perfectly cast as a charming, brooding brute. He should make a tremendous Heathcliffe [sic] in ITV1’s forthcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights. (Andrew Pettie)

The Independent reviews Our Precious Lulu, by Anne Fine, and the reviewer finds at least one similarity to Jane Eyre:

So the moment when Geraldine, in a Jane Eyre-type outburst, at last denounces her younger sister should have every reader punching the air. (Nicholas Tucker)

All About Jazz asks Cheryl Ernst about how she came to write the lyrics to Jimmy Rowles's Looking Back.

Jimmy played several tunes for me on the piano. The one that stood out made me think of Wuthering Heights, full of mists and moors. I asked Jimmy if I could have a shot at it. He said yes. So I took the song and went home. The following day I called Jimmy and told him that the lyric was finished. (Marc Myers)

And both The Advocate and The Frederick News Post discuss summer reading and mention Jane Eyre.

As for blogs, Schenkenblogger and Mulheres que pecam (in Portuguese) write about Jane Eyre. Le journal de Fée Bourbonnaise (in French) reviews - unfortunately not positively - Yann & Édith's Les Hauts de Hurlevent - Volume 1. Jellybaby86 has uploaded a few pictures to Flickr of her local stage adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
