Wuthering Heights: Emily Brontë

Every critical theory in the last twenty years has, it seems, cut its teeth on Wuthering Heights, and the New Casebook on Wuthering Heights includes essays of major importance from positions including liberal humanism, psychoanalysis, deconstruction, Marxism and feminism. The editor suggests that this remarkable variety of persuasive readings is itself a critical statement, establishing the link between what one critic calls 'our spellbinding admiration for Wuthering Heights and our remarkable inability to agree on what it means'.
