| Matt Simpson's great affection for this unique and awe-inspiring
novel shines through everything he says about it. In his introduction
he asks the simple-seeming question - what kind of novel is
it? - and offers a variety of possible answers which are both
searching and provocative. For him it is primarily a great ghost-story,
one that commits the reader to an inescapable conclusion that
there is life after death. By careful analysis he shows in detail
how Emily Brontë cunningly controls the reader's responses
by means of her extraordinary manipulation of time and through
multiple forms of narration. |
| Matt Simpson is a poet and critic and formerly a university
