Emily Brontë: Wuthering Heights

by Nicholas Marsh

Emily Brontë'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 readers to this day. This book takes extracts and examines them in close detail to explore how Brontë 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 the text, and the complex way the story is told.

The very best romance novel I had the fortune to first read in high school 45 years ago. Heathcliffe and Catherine were the quintessential star-crossed lovers. I recommend this book to anyone who loves historical romance novels.

[London · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of my favorite Victorian era books. You can really get into the characters and feel something for them. I read it in a literature class and I loved the discussions we were able to have about it.
