All you need to evoke
Wuthering Heights is a bit of mist. That's the conclusion of what we read in
British Vogue:
Wuthering Heights And Bella Hadid Both Played A Part In This Couple’s Dorset Wedding. (...)
The couple were married at St Peter’s Church in Knowle at 1.30pm on 20 June. “The weather wasn’t quite what we’d imagined,” she remembers. “We’re such summer people, which is why we chose the summer solstice. Instead, we woke up to the most incredible mist, which did give the start of the day a romantic, atmospheric feel. It was very Wuthering Heights." (Rebecca Cope)
My favourite adult classics also feature picturesque countryside and sprawling mansions but are a tad bleaker: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Both gothic thrillers about a marriage doomed by a dark past.
Tom's Guide alerts that
Wuthering Heights 1939 is leaving the HBO Max platform at the end of July:
Though the black-and-white romantic drama depicts only half of Brontë's Gothic classic and eliminates all of the second-generation characters (sorry kids!), it's widely acclaimed for its lush, deliciously melodramatic treatment of the source material. (Christina Izzo)
Haworth
Best known as the home of the Brontë sisters, Haworth combines literary heritage with breathtaking moorland scenery. Its cobbled main street is lined with independent shops, tearooms and galleries, while nearby Penistone Hill Country Park and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway offer plenty to explore beyond the village.

Today's special report shows how films such as Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights have fuelled interest in visits to Yorkshire, whose beautiful moorlands were so central to its cinematography.
Mental Floss lists some of the "most devastating love confessions in literature".
Wuthering Heights is in there:
"He is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights. (Selection by Logan DeLoye)
