The Brontë Parsonage Museum, the former home of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë, has reported a "mind-blowing" response to director Emerald Fennell’s interpretation of Emily Brontë’s novel.
The film, which was released last month, stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, with a soundtrack by Charli XCX.
Mia Ferullo, the museum’s digital engagement officer, said: "I’ve never seen so many people talk about Emily Brontë and Wuthering Heights.
"It’s been quite mind-blowing – really, very surreal.
"We talk about the Brontës every day and everyone else is kind of joining in on this conversation, and it is everywhere.
"So many people are picking up the book for the first time and discovering the Brontës for the first time.
"It does feel like a very big, special, special moment."
Ferullo has been delivering talks at the museum about the long history of literary pilgrimages to Haworth, which began in the late 19th century.
She said: "People from as far as America were coming to Haworth to try and see the place where Charlotte Brontë wrote Jane Eyre and lived.
"So it kind of started really early on, before the museum was actually at the parsonage."
Ferullo added: "Even when Patrick was still living there, people would come, and he would take out Charlotte’s signature from letters and stuff to give to people as souvenirs.
"People would go into the church to look at the marriage register book where Charlotte had written in.
"So, there was a lot of interest.
"And, I think that’s partly why the church decided to sell the parsonage, because people were getting bothered too much by tourists."
Ferullo feels that the appeal of Haworth is closely tied to its landscape.
She said: "Even when Patrick (father of the Bronte sisters) was still living there, people would come, and he would take out Charlotte’s signature from letters and stuff to give to people as souvenirs.
"People would go into the church to look at the marriage register book where Charlotte had written in.
