Le Figaro (in French) devotes an article to Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights:

Les Hauts de Hurlevent d'Emily Brontë : la comète des lettres anglaises

«Ellis est un esprit vigoureux et original, d'une étrange et sombre puissance, qui, lorsqu'il s'essaie à la poésie, s'exhale en un langage concis, subtil et raffiné tout à la fois - mais qui, lorsqu'il manie la prose, se déchaîne en tableaux qui choquent plutôt qu'ils ne charment»: ce mystérieux Ellis que décrit la romancière Charlotte Brontë dans une lettre à son éditeur W. S. Williams, en septembre 1847, n'est autre que sa sœur Emily, l'auteur des Hauts de Hurlevent. (Françoise Dargent) (Translation)

The Writing Cooperative and the greatest first lines in novels:

 “There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.”
― Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë
I love this one because of how different it is from the ‘start-with-a-bang’ openers. This line gently slips the reader into the grey, claustrophobic, disappointment-filled, bitter world of Jane Eyre’s childhood. (Svani Parekh)

The Mourinho-Guardiola wars on iNews with a Brontë flare:

Digby, it turns out, is actually a squire from an Emily Brontë novella, and does not approve of Liv wearing a busty ensemble. Hence why they argued and he ended up in the pool. (Andrew Bullow)
