Illustrated by Anna Bond

And today, another new illustrated edition of Wuthering Heights:
by Emily Brontë
Illustrated (Cover art) by Anna Bond
Published by Puffin Books
ISBN: 9798217043408
January 13, 2026

A stunning hardcover edition of the classic gothic romance with cover art by Anna Bond of lifestyle brand Rifle Paper Co. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi!
When Heathcliff, a poor young boy, is adopted into wealthy Catherine Earnshaw’s family, he and Catherine form a bond that progresses from childhood friendship to teenage passion. Because of Heathcliff’s lowly social status, however, Catherine decides she cannot marry him, and instead marries the gentleman Edgar Linton. This sets in motion a chain of events that ravages both the Linton and Earnshaw families with jealousy, revenge, and bitterness, leaving only the ghosts of Catherine and Heathcliff to haunt the moors.
   

What she has up her frilly sleeves

After Saturday's interview with Wuthering Heights costume designer Jacqueline Durran in Vogue, Mirror focuses on so-called fans of the novel whining about the so-called 'latex' dress and Durran's explanation.

The Mary Sue lists '15 Films to Watch in 2026 That Are Not Directed By Men', including
“Wuthering Heights“
Director: Emerald Fennell
Release date: February 13
Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is definitely up to stuff. We just won’t know what exactly until midway into Q1. Your milage may vary with Fennell’s films. Promising Young Woman, Saltburn, and her tenure showrunning the second season of Killing Eve were divisive in their own ways. Personally, I can’t wait to see what she has up her frilly sleeves with this adaptation of Emily Brontë’s tempestuous novel. I need to know what Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Shazad Latif, Hong Chau, and Alison Oliver get into. (Leah Marilla Thomas)
Artículo 14 (Spain) also features Wuthering Heights. AnneBrontë.org features an Archbishop of Canterbury the Brontës knew.
   

Illustrated by Isabella Mazzanti

This is a new illustrated French edition of Wuthering Heights:
by Emily Brontë
Translated by Jacques de Lacretelle and Yolande de Lacretelle
Illustrations by Isabella Mazzanti
Gallimard
Collection Papillon Noir Gallimard
ISBN: 9782073120342
2025

Chef-d’œuvre sauvage et intemporel, Hurlevent, d'Emilie Brontë trouve une nouvelle intensité dans cette édition grâce à l’univers graphique percutant d’Isabella Mazzanti. Roman unique, à la croisée du fantastique et du romantisme noir, ce texte inclassable bouleverse les conventions du XIXᵉ siècle par sa violence émotionnelle, sa narration fragmentée et ses personnages bruts.
Sur les landes battues par les vents, dans l’ombre de Hurlevent, se joue une tragédie d’amour et de vengeance entre Catherine et Heathcliff, deux âmes tourmentées, liées par une passion aussi absolue que destructrice.
L’illustratrice italienne Isabella Mazzanti, au style baroque et expressionniste, magnifie la noirceur et la beauté du texte avec des compositions puissantes, mêlant onirisme, tension et sensualité.
Here you can check some of the Isabella Mazzanti's illustrations. 



   

The Discomfort of Wuthering Heights

The Telegraph & Argus quotes the Yorkshire List describing a "breathtaking Haworth winter walk":
Breathtaking Haworth winter walk
The Haworth Circular
Moorland on the Haworth Circular

Think of the name Brontë and it conjures up images of wild, wintery countryside beaten by whirling winds. So what better time of year to explore Haworth than in winter? The area is now known as Brontë Country as it inspired much of the family’s work, and you can see some of its biggest landmarks on this 7.5-mile route.
Start at St Michael & All Angels Church and pick up The Brontë Way, which leads you through Penistone Hill Country Park. Along the way, you’ll pass flowing becks and crisp moorland on your way to the Brontë Waterfall.
Once you’ve taken in the sights, walk across to Top Withens, a ruined farmhouse which acted as inspiration for Wuthering Heights, and over to Lower Laithe Reservoir on the path back into Haworth. Take the chance to pop into the Haworth Steam Brewing Co. bar before you leave the village.
Start point: St Michael & All Angels Church – find it on Google Maps.
Distance: 7.5 miles. (Joseph Sheerin)
And The Lancashire Telegraph does something similar, quoting The Yorkshireman choosing The Old Post Office in Haworth as the cosiest place to eat. Meanwhile BBC answers the question of "why is Bradford on Conde Nast's seven wonders list":
Ilkley Moor is known for it's famous folk song, On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at, and Haworth's Penistone Hill was an inspiration for the bleak setting of many Brontë novels. (...)
Brontë birthplace Haworth may be celebrating it's new title as a seven wonder but Machu Picchu - it's twin town - has had the accolade for decades. (Grace Wood)
The story of the Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire is discussed, once again, in The Northern Echo:
In 1970, the pub was transformed into a moody backdrop for a film adaptation of Jane Eyre, starring George C. Scott and Susannah York.
Unearthed photographs by former Northern Echo photographer Ian Wright reveal how the crew braved the wind-swept moors to capture the Brontë atmosphere. (Patrick Gouldsbrough)
El Diario de Madrid (Spain) describes a personal reading of Wuthering Heights:
Quiero empezar con dos afirmaciones que pueden parecer opuestas, pero no lo son: este libro no me gustó y, al mismo tiempo, es buenísimo. Entiendo perfectamente por qué Cumbres borrascosas es un clásico consagrado; sin embargo, no disfruté de su lectura hasta los capítulos finales. (....) 
Cumbres borrascosas no está hecha para el disfrute inmediato, sino para incomodarnos, agotarnos y obligarnos a mirar de frente lo peor del ser humano. (Carlota Mascareñas García) (Translation)

Of course, we still have websites announcing Wuthering Heights or discussing its controversies: People, Desde Entre Ríos, FandomWire, Netflix Junkie, Dawn, CBR, Echo Live, CNN Chile, Informador, Flair, Marie Claire, Movieplayer, Cinefilos, The Columbian ... On the other hand, Express insists that  "the superior version" Jane Eyre 2006 is free to stream on BBC iPlayer

   

Between Passion And Annihilation

A new paper published in a Romanian literary journal:
Ana-Blanca Ciocoi-Pop
Journal of Romanian Literary Studies, 42 (2025), pp 137-40

Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights has long been read as a tale of destructive love and haunting passion, but this article proposes to examine the novel through the prism of the imaginary of love and death. Catherine and Heathcliff’s relationship transcends conventional social and psychological categories, entering instead a symbolic realm where love is inseparable from violence, transcendence, and mortality. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, particularly Lacan’s concept of the imaginary order and Jungian archetypes, the study argues that Brontë constructs an alternative space of desire where union is achievable only in annihilation. Death emerges not as an end but as a continuation of passion, an “other world” where the lovers’ identities fuse beyond the constraints of society and narrative. The moors, spectral apparitions, and the Gothic atmosphere of the novel reinforce this imaginary, staging an interweaving of erotic intensity and existential dissolution. Ultimately, Wuthering Heights exemplifies how literature can project an imaginary where love is meaningful only through its proximity to death, offering both a critique of Victorian norms and a timeless exploration of the human psyche.
