Title: Emily Brontë
First published: 1999
Description: "Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights took the literary world by storm when it was published in 1847. There had never been a novel like it, and it continues to cast a powerful spell over its readers to this day. This book takes extracts and examines them in close detail, to explore how Bronte achieves her effects, and to inquire into the significance of her characters and fable. The reader is taught to explore and appreciate the love-tragedy of Catherine and Heathcliff, the resonant images and symbols of Bronte's text, and the complex way in which the story is told. Far from simplifying the study of Wuthering Heights, this work invites the reader to join in, pursuing and revelling in the challenging conflicts and disturbing perspectives in which this novel abounds."--BOOK JACKET.
