Wuthering Heights: Emily Bronte

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 simply-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 readers to an inescapable conclusion that there is life after death. By careful analysis he shows in detail how Emily Bronte cunningly controls the reader's response by means of her extraordinary manipulation of time and through multiple forms of narration.
