7. Woolf turns to Wuthering Heights. Her sense of Emily’s genius is profound.
‘Wuthering Heights is a more difficult book to understand than Jane Eyre, because
Emily was a greater poet than Charlotte.’
‘When Charlotte wrote she said with eloquence and splendour and passion “I
love”, “I hate”, “I suffer”. Her experience, though more intense, is on a level with
our own. But there is no ‘I’ in Wuthering Heights.There are no governesses.There
are no employers.There is love, but it is not the love of men and women. Emily was
inspired by some more general conception. The impulse which urged her to create
was not her own suffering or her own injuries. She looked out upon a world cleft
into gigantic disorder and felt within her the power to unite it in a book.That
ambition is to say something through the mouths of her characters which is not
merely “I love” or “I hate”, but “we, the whole human race”
