Who is the nation's favourite literary hero? (UK)

"Mills & Boon has launched a survey alongside the Cheltenham Literature Festival to uncover the identity of the nation's favourite literary hero. Voters can chose from ten leading men, from Emily Bronte's Heathcliff to Henry DeTamble of Niffenegger's Time Traveler's Wife. The two Mr Darcys -- one the creation of Jane Austen, the other the love interest of Bridget Jones -- also feature in among the selection. The winner will be announced at the Mills & Boon's Literary Heroes event, which will be held at this year's Times Cheltenham Literature Festival. The audience will be served pink champagne while a panel of women, including authors Stella Duffy, Katie Fforde, discuss their favourite leading men and what makes an unforgettable literary hero"
