New Hardcover . Emily BrontA" appeared first in the literary world as a poet, but she is remembered even today for the single powerful novel, Wuthering Heights, that she composed towards the end of her life. The novel is a singular one and it stands outside the main current of nineteenth century fiction. Because of its peculiar nature it has given rise to much controversy. Some consider it a Gothic novel while others think of it as a novel of revenge. Some others find in it a romantic tale of languishing love. The dramatic way of narration by quoting the exact words spoken by the different characters, by mainly two narrators, Nelly Dean and Lockwood, gives the novel a peculiar interest. Besides, the portrayal of the character of Heathcliff, the protagonist, betrays a powerful imagination of the novelist. Like Coleridge, Emily BrontA" has been successful in giving the esoteric world she has created, a touch of reality and credibility by making the supernatural a part of the natural. The novel is a story of two houses, at Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange with a vast moorland separating them. Heathcliff comes as a disturber of peace in these two houses and the peace is restored only with his death. It is not simply a tragic tale although there are several deaths in it. The novel shows that there are both good and evil in this world and that evil is ultimately won over by love. Wuthering Heights remains a powerful creation of Emily BrontA"aEUR s imagination, and because of her originality and poetic intensity it is held that aEURoeshe might have been ShakespeareaEUR s younger sisteraEUR (Westminster Review, 1898).

Mezo, Richard E.: A Student's Guide to Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Parkland: Brown Walker, 2002. ISBN: 9781581124064
Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - A Student's Guide to Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is a general introduction to one of the great English novels of the nineteenth century. Misunderstood by most critics and commentators upon its publication in 1847, the story of Catherine and Heathcliff and their peers and descendants slowly became recognized as the work of a genius and is now on nearly every list of recommended books for both high school and college students. However, many students today find the novel difficult to read and understand because of its language and its setting; especially challenging to some are the sections in which characters speak in the Yorkshire dialect. This guide provides an easy-to-use glossary of that dialect and translations of the dialogue. It also includes discussions of the social, economic, and political background of the period (the last part of the eighteenth and the first part of the nineteenth centuries). Combined with a thorough coverage of language and background, this guide offers a list of questions about the reading that are intended to lead the students to independent thinking about the work. Unlike some better-known guides, this text contains no detailed summary of parts of the novel. Students must read chapters of the novel itself in order to answer the questions. In a few instances, readers must go outside Wuthering Heights to answer a question; that is, some basic research is required. In addition, the appendices contain materials intended to enrich the novel and to deepen the appreciation of each student for this outstanding work. It is the desire of the author to make Wuthering Heights more readily accessible to students and at the same time to challenge them to engage in independent critical reading. (Verlagstext).

New Hardcover . Wuthering Heights is a highly problematic text. The book has posed challenges at numerous levels ever since its publication in 1847. Written in the age of the novel that saw works of such literary figures as Dickens, George Eliot and Thackerey, this fictional masterpiece has evoked deep and profound responses and laid claims to great artistic merit. Critics are agreed that the significant ambivalence as well as intense poetry of the novel owes its existence to a mind endowed with highest creativity. The present volume explains in simple terms some of the basic points that emerge during the reading of Wuthering Heights. It is meant primarily to meet the requirements of our GRADUATE and POST-GRADUATE students. The author has tried to ensure that the complex and difficult aspects of the novel are not sacrificed for purposes of simplicity and elucidation. Explanations, therefore, remain open-ended and somewhat tentative. Thus, "Commentary on the Text ," the long first chapter of the book, is a commentary, a discussion, and not a "summary." In fact, it would be better seen as an attempt to construct meaning with the help of clues that seem to be offered by the text . It is assumed that only such a discussion can prepare students and sensitive readers to evolve their individual responses to the work in question. The most important section of this volume is clearly the "Commentary on the Text." However, only those would find it useful who have given the novel a careful reading . There is no substitute for the literary work --- the problem arises particularly in the case novels since their length poses problems to the student hard pressed for time --- and authors who encourage students to skip the text by offering a summary of it do immeasurable harm to the cause of literature. Our central reference has to be the work. The chapter-plan, too, is intended to create awareness of issues connected with meaning and form. Plurality is a useful concept. There can be as many versions of the story, the action, the message, as there are characters in the book. In the same manner, every reader would have his own individual version of it. In turn, this plurality of discourses affects the form of the artistic work. The discussions in this volume are largely informed by the idea of interrelatedness of these different aspects.
