A property for sale in Stanbury features in Daily Express:
Every one of the three cottages has its own terrace, making it the perfect place to take in the beauty and serenity of the Brontë countryside—made famous by the Brontë sisters and Wuthering Heights. (Millie Bull)
Collider has a list of period dramas that 'sweep you off your feet':
Emily by Frances O'Connor
Filled with excitement and inspiration, Emma Mackey-led drama introduces audiences to the life of the iconic English writer Emily Brontë, who died soon, at age 30. The film presents a new vision of the author's life, showcasing the misfit's remarkable journey from being a girl to transforming into a confident woman.
Emily, which serves as a love letter to the late writer, is not a flawless period piece. However, it is assuredly a bewitching one. The amazing acting from Mackey, who delivers a tour de force performance as the lead protagonist, as well as the great costumes, are also big standouts in this Frances O'Connor film. (Daniela Gama)

La Tercera (Chile) also highlights the same film. 

Deseret News has also a list of period romances available on streaming: 
‘Jane Eyre’ (2006)
The 2006 “Jane Eyre” BBC miniseries is likely the most book-accurate adaptation out there. The four-part miniseries, based off of the Charlotte Brontë of novel the same name, follows Jane Eyre, a young girl with a traumatizing past.
After being raised by her cruel aunt and being sent off to a strict boarding school, Jane leaves to work as a governess at Thornfield Hall. There, she meets Edward Rochester, the master of the estate and guardian of Adele, Jane’s pupil.
As Jane continues to work at Thornfield Hall, she develops romantic feelings for Mr. Rochester — and eventually discovers that not everything is as it seems. (Natalie Issa)
Times Now News has a list of famous authors who died young including Charlotte Brontë:
Author of 'Jane Eyre', Charlotte Brontë challenged Victorian conventions through her strong, complex female characters. She died at 38, her novels remaining influential explorations of women's social issues. 
Lambda Literary nominates the best LGBTQ graphic novels of the year:
A Guest in the House by Emily Carroll (First Second)
A Guest in the House is a haunting horror story that puts a unique spin on Jane Eyre as it follows a young woman named Abby, who’s just married a recently widowed and incredibly kind dentist. He just moved to town with his young daughter, and the memory of his late wife haunts them both. Unfortunately, her memory also begins to haunt Abby as she uncovers a sticky, entangled mystery surrounding the woman’s death. (Samantha Puc)
The best places to visit in Yorkshire according to The Tech Advocate:
 Quaint and charming, Haworth is enveloped in literary history as the home of the Brontë sisters. Ambling through cobbled streets or across windswept moors that inspired classics such as “Wuthering Heights” offers a deeper sense of connection with England’s cultural past—and often provides a mood-enhancing perspective shift. (Matthew Lynch)
The Tab looks for films with Kaya Scodelario:
Wuthering Heights 2011
 Bit of a literary classic. If period dramas are your thing, this moody, misty, depiction of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights is the perfect thing for you to watch next. Kaya stars as Catherine – a foundling who falls in love with the tortured Heathcliff and, of course, a massive romantic headache ensues. (Lydia Spencer-Elliott)
Architectural Digest discusses the TV show Palm Royale:
“We almost wanted a Wuthering Heights feel to her house, where it had been this grand estate, but as she’s gone into assisted living, ivy and vines are taking over the house in a very beautiful and romantic way. And it shows the historic history of her presence in Palm Beach,” says [production designer, Jon] Carlos. (Sarah Archer)
Hall of Series (Italy) looks into the books that Penelope Featherington from Bridgerton could be reading:
Cime Tempestose
 Ovviamente Penelope non potrebbe farsi mancare dei grandi classici. Quindi non viene difficile immaginare sul suo comodino anche Cime Tempestose di Emily Brontë. A lungo scambiato come semplice romanzo d’amore, Cime Tempestose è un classico senza tempo sulla solitudine, l’odio e la vendetta. La tossica relazione romantica tra Heathcliff e Catherine fa da collante per questa storia incredibile dal fascino pericoloso. A distanza di anni dalla prima pubblicazione, era il 1847, Cime Tempestose è uno dei romanzi più letti e amati, un classico imperdibile che ha reso eterna la sua autrice. (Diletta Chiarello) (Translation)
