Daily Express sings the wonders of Haworth: "The stunning village with 70 independent shops – ‘Britain’s prettiest’":
Haworth has become synonymous with literary history, thanks to the Brontë sisters who produced several famous novels such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, who called it home. The village is currently decorated for autumn – and tourists who want to experience the best of it are running out of time. Anyone planning to make the most of limited time in Haworth this autumn is advised to begin at Main Street where there are a range of independent cafes, old fashioned sweet shops and other boutique stores. (...)
The Brontë Parsonage Museum is one of Haworth's most popular tourist attractions. (...)
Beyond the shops is beautiful surrounding countryside accessible on foot from the village. A particularly good spot to head for is the Brontë waterfall. (Alycia McNamara)

This columnist for
The Daily Tar Heel liked
Wuthering Heights 2026 better than the original novel:
One of the most memorable moments from my senior semester of college was seeing Emerald Fennel’s “Wuthering Heights.” I watched it on Valentine’s Day at Silverspot Cinema with my sister and six of her friends, and I liked it way more than I should have.
Ever since I was little, I remember hearing, “The book is always better than the movie.” Up until I saw “Wuthering Heights,” I used to believe it too.
When I read Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights” my sophomore summer, I remember feeling underwhelmed. In my Apple Books review, I gave it three stars; I had hoped that book would shake my soul, and it did not. That was really sad for me, given how much I had enjoyed her sisters’ works — Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre” and Anne Brontë’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.”
The week after watching the newest adaptation of Wuthering Heights was really stressful for me. It pained me to admit to all my friends that I had enjoyed the 2026 film more than the 19th century tome. I mean, I really loved it. I was sobbing so hard that people were turning around and pointing. I wasn’t the only one — a couple other girls in my row were similarly shaken. I won’t name names, but you know who you are.

Verily lists 'underrated' novels to read before
Sense and Sensibility:
02. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë
Even more shocking than her sister’s work, Jane Eyre, Anne Brontë cemented herself in literary history with this novel about a single mother’s surprising independence among Victorian society. You’ll love this book’s equally moody setting in a mansion that seems to take a life of its own if you’re already a fan of Austen’s Northanger Abbey. And with quite an unusual main character and subject matter for a novel of this time, this work is perfect if you’re looking for something a little more unconventional than a typical ingenue caught in a boy-meets-girl. (Eliza Monts)
Whatsonstage recommends theatre in London for this Halloween:
Jane Eyre is the perfect gothic novel to get your teeth into this autumn, and audiences are spoilt for choice! John Caird and Paul Gordon’s musical adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s novel is currently having its UK premiere in London, while a separate play is touring. (Tanyel Gumushan)
Several Spanish reviews of Sense and Sensibility 2026 mention Wuthering Heights somehow:
Da gusto verla: sus imágenes son exuberantes, pictóricas, pero a la vez realistas y delicadas. Recrean la Inglaterra del XVIII con buen gusto, aire clásico, luz natural y detalles de época, pero sin el preciosismo de postal de Cumbres borrascosas, de Emerald Fennell. A su vez, se mantiene fiel al texto original, a diferencia de actualizaciones como la de Greta Gerwig en Mujercitas (La Gaceta de Salamanca) (Translation)
Estéticamente es una obra que colma el ojo del espectador y toma decisiones formales muy interesantes, aunque no alcance las cotas que lograba Andrea Arnold cuando adaptó Cumbres borrascosas.(Alejandro G. Calvo in Sensacine) (Translation)
El razonamiento podría ser, más o menos: si, desde el lado de la tragedia gótico de Emily Brontë, recientemente funcionó la adaptación de Cumbres borrascosas de Emerald Fennell, ¿por qué no probar con el realismo irónico del otro gran monumento del romanticismo? No en balde, la versión en formato serie de Orgullo y prejuicio, el otro gran libro de Austen, ya está ahí también. Dicho y hecho. (...) Se echa en falta, y mucho, la divertida sagacidad del guion de la propia Emma Thompson en la película de 1995 que de manera tan delicada como precisa y extrañada dirigiera Ang Lee. Se agradece, en cambio, que la directora no se deje seducir por los desvaríos a los que se entregó Emerald Fennell en su lectura de Cumbres borrascosas. (Luis Martínez in El Mundo) (Translation)
