Wuthering Heights: Context
Subjects / English / Emily Brontë - Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë is a tale of passion, a tale of extremes. Published in 1847, a year before Brontë's death, it was not received well by the critics of the time, yet today we see it as one of the great Romantic classics. When reading Wuthering Heights we need to remember that because of its narrative structure, we have to constantly ask questions of the characters and their motives. Emily Brontë has written her novel in a way that places us, the reader, in control. We need to decide whether we believe the narrators of the story of Catherine and Heathcliff by looking at the bias and prejudice of the characters. Before we start trying to address that issue, we need to understand Emily Brontë and her situation by looking at the background to the novel Wuthering Heights.
