A Tour of Wuthering Heights,[object Object]
Many people are surprised to learn that Wuthering Heights is Bronte’s only published novel.  I say “published” because she wrote from an early age, although little of her work survives beyond some poetry, several diary entries, and a few essays.  Her family life fostered creativity, especially in the form of the written word, and both she and her sister, Charlotte, published two books that are now considered classics (Charlotte published Jane Eyre in 1847.  Their younger sister, Anne, also published a novel, Agnes Grey.).  Because women were not highly regarded in the literary community at the time, the sisters used the pseudonyms Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, representing Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, respectively.,[object Object]
Wuthering Heights is a stark portrayal of amoral passion, which many critics during the time of its publication in 1847 found repugnant.  Bronte saved several reviews of her book, which have since been identified: ,[object Object]
Britannia,[object Object],“Far better romance” if the characters were “nearly as violent and destructive as [Heathcliff]” ,[object Object],“shocking pictures of the worst forms of humanity”,[object Object],“…not a single character which is not utterly hateful or thoroughly contemptible”,[object Object],Atlas,[object Object],“strange, inartistic story”,[object Object],“Wild, confused; ,[object Object],disjointed and improbable”,[object Object],Examiner,[object Object]
Today, however, Wuthering Heights is regarded as one of the finest works of English literature. ,[object Object]
The Byronic Hero,[object Object],Although the Byronic hero derives from the life and writings of Lord Byron, Emily and Charlotte Bronte created two of the most well-known fictional examples of him: Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre and, of course, Wuthering Heights’s Heathcliff.  In the words of Byron’s former lover, the Byronic hero is “mad, bad, and dangerous to know.” ,[object Object]
Arrogant,[object Object],Disrespectful of rank and privilege,[object Object],Self-destructive,[object Object],Emotionally conflicted,[object Object],Socially and sexually dominant,[object Object],Cunning and able to adapt,[object Object],Cynical,[object Object],He may be characterized by any and all of these traits:,[object Object]
Dr. Mary Buckelaw, Clare B. Dunkle’s mother, takes this archetype one step further, arguing that Heathcliff is not a Byronic hero but a Satanic hero.,[object Object]
Wuthering Heights in Popular Culture,[object Object],With her first single, “Wuthering Heights,” Kate Bush began a career as one of the United Kingdom’s bestselling artists.  ,[object Object],Producer Samuel Goldwyn felt that the script was too dark for a romance movie and asked several writers to do a re-wrtie. ,[object Object]
“It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he’s handsome, Nelly, but because he’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and [Edgar’s] is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.”,[object Object]
