This recently published book contains Brontë references:
Animal Visions
Posthumanist Dream Writing
Susan Mary Pyke
Palgrave MacMillan

Presents a theoretical framework that considers posthuman dream writing as a conduit to politically charged affective reading, through the vantage of literary animal studies
Argues that posthuman dream writing can resist exclusionary assumptions of human stewardship over nonhuman animals through an analysis that firstly intersects with radical feminist insights that consider the depiction of dreams and visions as an avenue to imagine different social orderings
Concludes that the progressions offered by posthuman dream writing allow empathetic readers the opportunity to imagine less masterful human relations with nonhuman animals and their habitats 
The Brontë chapter is  Ghosts: Of Writing, at Windows, in Mirrors, on Moors.
