English Jagran (India) lists books with iconic female leads you must read:
Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë deals with themes of love, identity and social class as the protagonist navigates her tumultuous childhood, unrequited love and mysterious circumstances at Thornfield Hall. The novel explores the struggles of a strong-willed woman in a patriarchal society, tackling issues of morality, independence and the quest for self-respect. (Iram Hussain)
Screenrant recommends some 'romantasy' books. Particularly, this one:
Salt & Broom
by Sharon Lynn Fisher
Sometimes, the best romantasy takes classic literature and rewrites it with a twist. Such is the case with Sharon Lynn Fisher's Salt & Broom, a simple, sweet retelling of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre with a witchy twist. In this retelling, Jane Aire is a witch and healer teaching at a girls' school when she's suddenly hired by the enigmatic nobleman Edward Rochester to figure out the origin of the dark plague that seems to be hanging over his ancestral manor of Thornfield Hall.
There's no shortage of amazing romantasy books being published all the time, & many of these are underrated additions outside the most popular works.
Salt & Broom has just as much gothic imagery as the original Jane Eyre, but it's infused with witchcraft and herbalism, and much more romance and adventure. Rochester is a more sympathetic character than he is in Brontë's classic novel, and Jane far more interesting (sic). It deftly weaves together the original story with modern sensibilities and herbal lore, making for a zippy but satisfying romantasy reimagining of the iconic Gothic romantic couple and protagonists.

World of Reel shares some ideas about
Wuthering Heights 2026.
Daily Mail quotes Jacob Elordi on Australian TV discussing his co-star Owen Cooper:
Asked in an interview with 10 News First about working with teenage star as young Heathcliff, Elordi said: 'He's a rock star. He's brilliant and he's intimidating.'
'I think the first time I met him I asked "Are you nervous mate" and he went "No" and I thought cool... cool me neither,' he added. 'But no he is a tremendous actor.'
He was then asked how he found filming Wuthering Heights, to which he said: 'It was beautiful. It was amazing. It's a truly epic romance and Emerald Fennel is a genius.' (Hannah McDonald & Molly Clayton)
The Limerick Post describes like this the Dean of Limerick and Ardfert, the Very Revered Niall Sloane:
With that, Dean Sloane appears, breathless and seeking atonement for his tardiness. If it wasn’t for his beaming smile and courteous welcome, he could have easily passed for Heathcliff, straight off the pages of Wuthering Heights, with his windblown hair. (Alan Jacques)
AnneBrontë.org urges to protect the Brontë Moors warning about threats from proposed wind farm developments, particularly in the Walshaw Moor area that includes Top Withens encouraging readers to sign a petition to protect these peat moors from development.
