The writing has an impressive ethical force

The Guardian Books Blog asks readers what they are reading this week and one of them almost didn't read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

Let’s also hope that the TV adaptation doesn’t put people off – which almost happened when vermontlogger watched a “dreary” version of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë:
I thought, that is one book I am never going to read. Recently though there have been several warm recommendations on TLS, and then the other day at the library there was a handsome new hardbound copy. So now I’ve read it and I’m glad I did. It is indeed sombre but it is also consistently absorbing, the moral story of a principled woman suffering from the trials of hateful male oppression and the attentions of censorious society. The writing has an impressive ethical force.

We don't think the TV series is that 'dreary' and off-putting.

Bustle recommends '9 Graphic Novel Adaptations Of Classic Books', including

'Jane Eyre The Graphic Novel' by Charlotte Brontë, adapted by Amy Corzine, John M. Burns, and Terry Wiley
If you love the dark, gothic vibe of Jane Eyre, just wait til you see the art in this graphic novel. As in the original, orphaned Jane Eyre accepts a governess-ship at Thronfield Hall, where she finds herself drawn to its owner, the mysterious Mr. Rochester. (Melissa Ragsdale)

First Post (India) comments on how books written in times and places different from where you live are... you know... different from what you are used to.

Usually when you read a book that was written years ago, in another country, you notice differences: differences between the world in the book and the world outside your window. If you read Wuthering Heights in Bengaluru, for instance, as I did in 2004, the desolate Yorkshire moors described by Emily Brontë in the 1840s can seem a far cry from the bustle of a thriving, contemporary Indian city.
I personally take pleasure in these differences: I appreciate learning about different times and different cultures, different countries and different centuries. In truth, most of my historical and geographical knowledge comes from reading works of literature! I also enjoy the puzzle of unexpected vocabulary, unfamiliar customs and specific topical references.
But more importantly, these very differences emphasise the overwhelming similarities. There is so much that is universal about the human experience: we were all children once, we have all had parents, we all face death, we are all capable of love. Patterns repeat across human history: there are cycles of repression and liberation, of optimism and pessimism, of inward-looking and outward-looking. Wuthering Heights is a book set in Yorkshire but it is also a book about dark and destructive passions: the fierce attraction between man and woman, the contrast between isolation and company, and those timeless human qualities of jealousy, cowardice, pride, loyalty and love. The setting is the wrapping paper — it’s there because that is when Emily Brontë was writing — but the heart of the book is inside, and it’s not only relevant to the introverted daughter of an English country parson, it speaks directly to you and to me. (Henry Eliot)

Huffington Post UK recommends '8 Page-Turning Picture Books To Enjoy With Your Kids This Christmas', one of which is

I Am The Seed That Grew The Tree, Fiona Waters, National Trust / Nosy Cow, £25
Getting kids started early on poetry is a good idea, before they find a reason to be scared of it. And this bumper anthology of nature poems from the National Trust – one for each day of the year – is the bee’s knees. Fiona Waters hasn’t skimped on the greats: there’s verse here from Emily Brontë, Carol Ann Duffy, Christina Rossetti and all the Williams (Wordsworth, Blake and Shakespeare). But Frann Preston-Gannon’s gorgeous pictures really do make it accessible. (Nancy Groves)

Bustle recommends several book box sets, including the recent Brontë Collection by Arcturus Publishing.

La Nueva Crónica (Spain) features poet Cristina Flantains, who

siente verdadera admiración y entre las que encuentran un hueco especial algunas grandes escritoras de la literatura universal como las hermanas Brontë, Doris Lessing, Jane Austen, Alejandra Pizarnik, Colette, Dujna Barnes e incluso María Zambrano (estas tres últimas sobre las que incluso ha publicado algún artículo en revistas literarias), y de quienes disfruta no solo la fuerza de su literatura sino la fuerza con la que se han mostrado ante la vida, algunas de ellas en momentos históricos muy difíciles para la mujer y más en un mundo como el de la escritura. (Mercedes G. Rojo) (Translation)

Also in Spain, Qué Leer finds a Brontëite in writer Carmen Posadas:

11. ¿De quién es fan? (literariamente hablando) De Proust, de Emily Brontë, de Santa Teresa, de Dickens, de Cervantes por supuesto. (Anika Lillo) (Translation)

Metro claims that, 'Researchers find that nice men have more sex'.

they did a study of 3,000 men and 1,500, anaylising the data from their dating profiles, and found that the men who tend to get laid most often are outgoing, emotionally stable, and conscientious. Outgoing might have sounded like an obvious, but emotionally stable and conscientious aren’t always the qualities used to create a fictional romantic heroes, but it looks like women are more interested in the kind of men who treat them well than moody Heathcliff types.

Yesterday, AnneBrontë.org marked the anniversary of the death of Ellen Nussey. A shelf of one's own (in Portuguese) posted about Wuthering Heights.
