Charlotte Brontë's hobby

Elle defines Rubén Toledo's Penguin Classics Deluxe cover for Wuthering Heights as

For Nathaniel Hawthorne’s romantic tome The Scarlet Letter , lead character Hester Prynne is dressed in chic LBD and fabulously coiffed, and both Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights have been given witty and surreal makeovers (think Tim Burton meets Tanya Ling) to appeal to the stories' most fashionable fans. (Emma Sells)

The Boston Review talks about Fanny Howe's The Winter Sun: Notes on a Vocation:

In one of its many aspects, this peculiar book is a kind of Fool’s journey. Meandering through dream and recollection, at times breaking without warning into song, Howe’s notes are ecstatic rather than linear, in touch, like Emily Brontë (of whom she writes here), with the brilliant wildness of childhood. (Amelia Klein)

The Wichita Eagle has a nice article about discovering fictional universes and Charlotte Brontë makes an appearance, even at the title:

What my son and Charlotte Bronte have in common (...)
I love seeing how natural it is for him to want to spend more time in that universe; it reminds me why people write fan fiction. And no, fanfic isn't restricted to Cheeto-eating basement dwellers. If you liked Wicked, you're reading fan fiction. Wide Sargasso Sea? Fan fiction. March, which won the Pulitzer in 2006, is FAN FICTION. And you win the internets if you guess what Charlotte Bronte's hobby was. Yup: fan fiction. Specifically, she liked to write swoony fic about the Duke of Wellington. Bet they didn't teach you that in your stuffy college lit class, eh? (Heather Chapman)
