| Over a hundred and fifty years after its initial publication, Emily BrontÃ"â s turbulent portrayal of the Earnshaws and the Lintons, two northern English households nearly destroyed by violent passions in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, continues to provoke and fascinate readers. Heathcliff remains one of the best-known characters in the English novel, and Catherine Earnshawâ s impossible choice between two rivals retains its appeal for contemporary readers. At the same time, the novelâ s highly ambivalent representations of domesticity, its famous reticence about its characters and their actions, its formal features as a story within a story, and the mystery of Heathcliffâ s origins and identity provide material for classroom discussion at every level of study. The introduction and appendices to this Broadview edition, which place BrontÃ"â s life and novel in the context of the developing â BrontÃ" myth,â explore the impact of industrialization on the people of Yorkshire, consider the novelâ s representation of gender, and survey the ways contemporary scholarship has sought to account for Heathcliff, open up multiple contexts within which Wuthering Heights can be read, understood, and enjoyed. |
