description: In this Readers' Guide, Patsy Stoneman has devised a careful route through the bewildering profusion of critical writing on Wuthering Heights. After a chapter on nineteenth-century responses, the Guide links together a selection of extracts demonstrating the major critical developments of the twentieth century, from humanism through formalism to deconstruction. Subsequent chapters, working within this general framework, focus on psychoanalytic readings, source studies, readings using discourse theory, work on dissemination, and political readings including Marxism, postcolonialism and feminism. By combining thoroughness and accessibility, this Guide aims to be useful to both undergraduates and more advanced scholars.
