The stuff of traditional female fantasy

IndieWire's Shadow and Act reports that Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights will be part of the forthcoming San Francisco International Film Festival. The Festival's website says that the screenings will take place on May 2nd and May 3rd.

Forbes lists several 'Unforgettable Lady Characters By Female Authors':

Charlotte Brontë and Jane Eyre:
Jane Eyre quietly fights against her circumstance from the get-go. Whether it’s a horrific boarding school or her fiancé’s insane wife, she manages to come out unscathed. I read Jane Eyre when I was 14 and just beginning to realize what kind of person I wanted to be as an adult. While Jane is not particularly pretty or outwardly impressive, she proves that with determination and hope you can go a long way.
—Preeti, Book Box Daily blogger (Caroline Howard)

And this MilfordPatch columnist makes a statement:

I have to be honest. I’m sort of a book snob. I prefer Charlotte Brontë over Jodi Picoult. I’d rather read about great characters than ramble around a ridiculously stitched plot. I like Shakespeare. I have NO interest in Twilight. (Deanna Runeman)

This is how the Buffalo News describes two of the main male characters of Mad Men:

The two leading men on the show — played by Jon Hamm and John Slattery — are impossibly slim and handsome. They look like models. (That they can act, too, is the necessary bonus.) The men on the show are portrayed as being juvenile, self-absorbed, loutish or mysterious — and beyond everyday female comprehension. They are the stuff of traditional female fantasy— a combination of Mr. Rochester from “Jane Eyre,” Ralph Kramden on “The Honeymooners” and Gregory Peck in his perfectly tailored gray flannel suit.

Small Review reviews  Eve Marie Mont's A Breath of Eyre and Cari's Book Blog has a guest post by the author. YA Book Reads interviews her:

As a writer, who are your main influences?As you might have guessed, Charlotte Brontë is a huge influence, but my faves as a kid were Frances Hodgson Burnett and C. S. Lewis. As a teenager, I devoured Daphne DuMaurier, Mary Stewart, and Lois Duncan! [...]
Can you tell us a bit about what you are working on just now?I am currently hard at work on the sequel to A Breath of Eyre, which continues the literary adventures of Emma Townsend as she travels yet again into a book: this time, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. Shame, secrets, and sin, oh my!
