Jane Eyre has echoed through novels in the 162 years since it was published

The Worcester Standard makes a Brontë reference talking about the English Touring Opera setting of Händel's Ariodante:

ETO’s celebrated production of this drama keeps the action on Scottish coast, but translates it to Bronte-like clerical circles. (Catherine Phillips)

Essential Writers lists some dark classics:

Although there’s plenty of this kind of thing in modern fiction, the seeds were sown with classic novels such as Frankenstein, Mary Shelley’s highly influential dystopia of science and morality, and Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, which featured the ‘madwoman in the attic’, shut away by Mr Rochester.
This element of Bronte’s work made such an impression that it has echoed through novels in the 160 years since it was published, as in Wide Sargasso Sea, Jean Rhys’s ‘prequel’ to the Bronte novel. (Miles Cain)

It's actually 162 today since Jane Eyre was first published.

The film An Education is reviewed in the Boston Herald:

Based on a memoir by British journalist Lynn Barber adapted to the screen by Nick Hornby (“About a Boy”), “An Education” actually expects you to know or care who Edward Burne-Jones was and to recognize the characters in “Jane Eyre” by name. (James Verniere)

Nights of Passion interviews author Susan Hanniford Crowley:

What is your all time favorite love tale and why?
WUTHERING HEIGHTS by Emily Brontë. Heathcliff is the ultimate bad boy who is driven to winning his love no matter what. Catherine knows she should resist him but can’t. It’s an unfulfilled love though and definitely not a happy ending. Although I’ve never been thrilled with the ending, the characters are masterpieces.
