Why did Emily Bronte write Wuthering Heights? How could she write so vividly about love, grief and hatred without these emotions in her own life? This compelling drama about the story of Bronte's socially transgressing love affair with a weaver's son is by Sally Wainwright.
Producer/Director Pauline Harris
