Wuthering Heights
(Emily Bronte)

Publicidade
Emily Brontë?s Wuthering Heights was first published in 1847.it ranks high on the list of major works of English literature. Wuthering heights is a brooding tale of passion and revenge set in the Yorkshire moors. Popularity of the novel can be judged by the fact that at least four movies have been more than inspired by it. Early critics did not like the work, citing its excess of passion and its coarseness. A second edition was published in 1850, two years after the author?s death. Sympathetically prefaced by her sister Charlotte, it met with greater success, and the novel has continued to grow in stature ever since. In the novel a pair of narrators, Mr. Lockwood and Nelly Dean, relate the story of the foundling Heathcliff?s arrival at Wuthering Heights, and the close-knit bond he forms with his benefactor?s daughter, Catherine Earnshaw. One in spirit, they are nonetheless social unequal, and the saga of frustrated yearning and destruction that follows Catherine?s refusal to marry Heathcliff is unique in the English canon. The novel is admired not least for the power of its imagery, its complex structure, and its ambiguity, the very elements that confounded its first critics.
Emily Brontë spent her short life mostly at home, and apart from her own fertile imagination, she drew her inspiration from the local landscape?the surrounding moorlands and the regional architecture of the Yorkshire area?as well as her personal experience of religion, of folklore, and of illness and death, Dealing with themes of nature, cruelty, social position, and indestructibility of the spirit. These elements make Wuthering height an excellent reading experience.
