According to Early Bird Books, these are '3 Brontë Subplots Skipped in Movie and TV Adaptations'.
1. Mr. Lockwood and Nelly the Narrator in Wuthering Heights. [...]
2. Things Get Better at Lowood School in Jane Eyre. [...]
3. Lord Lowborough, the Other Forsaken Spouse in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. (E.R. Zarevich)
A columnist from the TCI Sun, discusses a book published in 1997, Here on Earth by Alice Hoffman.
Here on Earth” [1997] is an unashamed re-vamp of Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights” [1847] albeit moved from Yorkshire to a small town in Massachusetts.
Ok, I didn’t mind Laurence Olivier having a go at playing Heathcliff in the 1939 movie, (although less so Timothy Dalton in 1970 or Ralph Fiennes in 1992); and I liked Kate Bush’s 1978 song, “Wuthering Heights", but I confess that I really can’t see the point in re-writing somebody else’s novel. There are a few minor plot changes and even, pre-MeToo and Johnny Depp, Heathcliff is now a wife-beater with a shady criminal background. (Richard Bendall)
Caretas (Peru) mentions Wuthering Heights in Cormac McCarthy's obituary.
Sabemos por su biografía que al niño prodigio de Ithaca le encantaban las novelas líricas realistas como Heredarás la tierra de Jame Smiley, Atando cabos de Annie Proulx, El día de la independencia de Richard Ford o Cumbres Borrascosas de Emily Brontë, pues él pensaba que “ninguna época está libre de su trasfondo de introspección lírica y de angustia existencial”. (Translation)
