Corrie's Heathcliff

The latest episodes of ITV's Coronation Street (March 19, Season 51 Episodes 56/57) contain several Brontë references:

Mary is on cloud nine as she and Norris have won the competition. They’ve won a holiday in Bronte-country next month. Oh, joy! Norris wants to know who’s going to watch the Kabin when they’re on holiday. Perhaps Rita can watch the place? It’s clear that Norris doesn’t want anything to do with this holiday. Mary tells Rita and Emily how Norris doesn’t want to go to Bronte-Country, and Rita white-lies for Norris to back him up. (...)
- Mary lustily calling Norris “Heathcliff.” (Yoork on Coronation Street Blog)

The mash-up literature is discussed on NPR and the first perpetrator, Seth Grahame-Smith says:

Grahame-Smith's first book, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, was a publishing sensation. It, too, mixed the undead with the Victorian era. Grahame-Smith says the success spawned a bit of a "mash-up moment in literature," where the supernatural meets the classics, but there's probably not a or Wuthering Heights Reloaded in his future.

The Times talks about Susanna White's first feature film project, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, and of course her Jane Eyre is remembered:

[M]ore recently, the reimagining of another GCSE staple, Jane Eyre. (Jeff Dawson)

Feministing interviews the author Marisa Meltzer:

Chloe Angyal: Who is your favorite fictional heroine, and who are your heroines in real life?
MM: The first fictional one that comes to mind is Jane Eyre, not because I necessarily relate to her - I actually think she and I are quite different - but I was always obsessed with that book when I was a kid. I read it dozens of times. There was something about her that really got under my skin. I don't know if it was her dealings with Mrs. Rochester in the attic. But I think sometimes the characters that strike you the most and that stay in your memory are maybe not the ones you most identify with on a personal level.
