Filming photos  (@CharliePurvey - Click News / SplashNews.com) have been published from Wuthering Heights where you can see an exuberant Margot Robbie wearing a wedding dress under the  relentless wind. Check The Sun, The Express Tribune, or the Daily Mail:
Margot Robbie wore a dramatic wedding gown as she began filming for Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights on Friday. 
The actress, 36, is playing Catherine Earnshaw in the £62 million production, with Saltburn actor Jacob Elordi taking on the role of Heathcliff. 
Strolling across the misty Moors, she looked stunning in the off-the-shoulder dress that featured a voluminous skirt - with filming coming just months after she gave birth to her first child. 
Margot's long veil trailed behind her as it caught the breeze, while her costume was completed with a bouquet of roses. (Laura Parkin)

The Daily Mail is a bit bitchy, because Margot Robbie is 34, as a matter of fact. Not the only problem with the numbers in the article: it's also said that "Brontë's Wuthering Heights, published in 1850, is considered a masterpiece of English literature". As before, wrong. It was published in 1847.

The Newark Advertiser looks into the Northern Ballet's performances of Jane Eyre in Newcastle:
Northern Ballet’s critically acclaimed Jane Eyre will be on stage at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham, Tuesday, April 8, to Saturday, April 12.
Based on the novel by Charlotte Brontë, dancers will bring the beautiful love story to life through heart-stirring choreography and live music that captures the essence of her timeless tale.
Jane Eyre is choreographed by internationally acclaimed British dance maker Cathy Marston, and set to a score of original compositions and existing work compiled and arranged by composer Philip Feeney.
Cathy Marston said: "The Brontë's stories are inspiring to translate into dance because of their intense emotional journeys for the protagonists, the backdrop of landscape and elemental forces that seem to amplify these emotions, and in the case of Jane Eyre particularly, the range of wonderful soloist roles that add texture, depth, and warmth to the central narrative."

Romantic Period Dramas in Woman&Homem:
Jane Eyre 2011
Charlotte Brontë's timeless novel, Jane Eyre, has captivated readers of all ages with its engrossing depiction of a woman's search for equality and freedom.
From her childhood to the rollercoaster romance with Rochester, Jane Eyre has been adapted several times, and 2011's film is one that truly captures the pining of Rochester, the spirit of Jane and the sweeping romance.
It stars Michael Fassbender as Rochester and Mia Wasikowska as Jane. (...)
Wuthering Heights (2011)
Emily Brontë's 1847 novel of the same name is one of the all-time classics. A blend of Gothic drama and burning, yearning romance, the immortal tale of the wild Heathcliff and Catherine 'Cathy' Earnshaw.
Sweeping, tragic and absorbing, the 2011 film starred Kaya Scodelario and James Howson.
Great Books of Classical Authors in Librotea (Spain):
El ambiente cultural que se respiró en la casa delos Brontë llevó a las tres hermanas a interesarse por la literatura. Emily Brontë, a pesar de su corta existencia, está considerada como una artista consumada y muy por encima de su época. Cumbres Borrascosas, su única novela, es hoy reconocida como una de las grandes obras maestras de la literatura inglesa. En su momento, la historia de amor apasionado y tormentoso entre Catherine y Heathcliff desconcertó a los lectores por su intensidad y por desafiar los límites de la moral victoriana. (Rebeca Márquez) (Translation)
The House of Brontë published a few days ago a new video on what was really Patrick Brontë.
