A Bookshelf of Old Favourites: "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

Miss Ann Spice
The whole story of those literary curiosities, the Bronte sisters, who in their secluded homes on the Yorkshire moors wrote books that took the literary world by storm, is strange and hard to understand; but of all their books 'Wuthering Heights' is the most surprising. Grim, powerful and sombre, this novel by a country clergyman's daughter has an atmosphere of suppressed passion and of brooding tear that no book ever written in the English language can surpass.
