Not to my knowledge. I have read books in which an author sends
characters into the settings of others ... people are always doing
that with Jane Austen's works, without doing it very well ... and to
be perfectly honest, I've never read Jane Eyre. Or Wuthering Heights.
I know I should, but "should" doesn't carry much weight with me
anymore. I lean toward comedy and have a long history of throwing down
books that are blurbed as "comical masterpieces" and haven't a laugh
nor a giggle. In the past few years, I've wandered into the comic
mystery genre ... but find mystery-solving cats and dogs to be in the
*not* funny category ... also feisty little old ladies and clubs  of
feisty little old ladies. On the other hand, Robert Parker pretty much
always delivers an entertaining evening ...pretty much ...
