W Magazine interviews Emerald Fennell and Barry Keoghan on the film Saltburn: 

Both the film and this shoot lean on Fennell’s love of gothic horror, which she believes is a distinctly female genre. “I think of the Brontë sisters or Daphne du Maurier or Leonora Carrington,” she says. (Alex Needham)

Times News talks about the Region 5 Poetry Out Loud competition. The winner, Madeline Wentz, is quoted saying:

I was originally drawn to my second poem, ‘Often rebuked yet always back returning’ by Emily Brontë, because of its poet. Emily Brontë is renowned for her works, and I had studied some of them in English classes before, so I knew I wanted to do a poem of hers. I picked this one specifically because of its emotional quality and its detailed imagery. (Jarrad Hedes)

The Evening Standard describes like this Wildhive Callow Hall:

Fresh out of a Victorian Gothic horror, the austere stone exterior of Callow Hall evokes more than a touch of Brontë, set amid the rolling landscape of Derbyshire’s Peak District. (Prudence Ivey)

The Herald picks ten books to celebrate Charles Dickens's birthday:

 Shirley, by Charlotte Bronte

The romantic plot is gothic and mawkish in the extreme, but the writing lifts this tale of a hard-pressed mill owner who cannot marry for love from the banal to something deeply atmospheric and memorable. Its popularity led to Shirley becoming a girl's and not a boy's name.

Kinda Frugal lists novels for cozy winter nights:

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

 This book’s story opens in winter as Lockwood wanders to Wuthering Heights. The heavy makes him stay longer, and this classic novel begins. Many people compare winter and the relationship between two characters in the book, Heathcliff and Catherine. It acts as a parallel to their powerful, intense, yet dangerously stormy connection.

The five impossible love affairs in movies in Rolling Stone (Spain):

Cumbres Borrascosas (Wuthering Heights)

(1939)

Dir. William Wyler

Una de las versiones más conocidas de esta famosa novela de Emily Brontë que incluye el amor imposible definitivo, con el perdón de Shakespeare. La película de William Wyler contó con un elenco destacado que incluía a Merle Oberon como Catherine Earnshaw y a David Niven como Edgar Linton, además del gran Laurence Olivier como Heathcliff.

Cumbres Borrascosas gira en torno a la complicada historia de amor y venganza entre Heathcliff y Catherine en la campiña inglesa del siglo XIX. Heathcliff es un niño adoptado por la familia Earnshaw que se enamora de Catherine, pero su amor está plagado de obstáculos sociales y familiares, lo que lleva a una serie de eventos trágicos que afectan a varias generaciones.

La película recibió elogios por su dirección, cinematografía y actuaciones, y fue nominada a varios premios. Aunque algunas adaptaciones posteriores han recibido más atención en años recientes, la versión de 1939 sigue siendo apreciada por su contribución al canon cinematográfico y su representación memorable de la historia clásica de Emily Brontë. (André Didyme-Dôme) (Translation)

The film also appears on this list of the best films about orphans and adoption in DeCine21. Incidentally, Wuthering Heights 2009 is available now on Canal+ (France).

Il Corriere della Sera (Italy) has an article about the different film adaptations of Brontë novels:

Lost in Brontë

«Cime tempestose» in stile Malibu ed Emily ribelle dark, ma anche la rilettura surrealista di Luis Buñuel o quella filologica di André Téchiné: qualche idea per ritrovare le atmosfere brumose delle sorelle Brontë anche al cinema.

Incredibile caso letterario — tre sfortunatissime sorelle che crescono e affinano insieme uno straordinario talentoche le porterà ad occupare, ciascuna in modo diverso, un posto importante nella storia universale del romanzo — le Brontë (Charlotte, Emily e Anne) hanno colpito così profondamente l’immaginario globale da diventare un fenomeno anche oltre la letteratura.

Il cinema, intuendone la potenza narrativa, ha preso a piene mani da vita e opere delle tre sorelle sbocciate nel chiuso della canonica di Haworth, nello Yorkshire, portando sullo schermo sia le storie immaginate nei loro romanzi che la loro stessa biografia, più o meno romanzata. Indimenticabile, su tutte, è la versione in bianco e nerodi Cime tempestose (1847) diretta da William Wyler nel 1939 (in italiano all’inizio uscì come La voce nella tempesta), con Laurence Olivier e Merle Oberon (ma c’era anche David Niven, nei panni di Edgar Linton) a dare voce e volto a una delle più singolari storie d’amore del romanzo vittoriano,quella tra il selvaggio senza famiglia Heathcliff e la ricca e capricciosa Catherine, legati in vita e in morte (di lei).

Elle (Spain) talks about the revival of Victorian blouses:

Las mujeres del siglo XIX, de la época victoriana, lucían elementos románticos en su vestimenta: cintas, volantes, lazos... Y utilizaban colores como el rosa o el azul celeste. Eran románticas por naturaleza. De esta época son algunas de las mejores novelas de amor de la historia de la literatura, como 'Jane Eyre', 'Cumbres borrascosas' u 'Orgullo y prejuicio'. (Paloma Herce) (Translation)
