  • Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
    Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Author Biography Emily Bronte was born in Yorkshire in 1818 and died there in 1848. The second of four children (sisters Charlotte and Anne also became authors), Emily Bronte’s father was a church rector, and her aunt, who raised her and her siblings after their mother’s death, was deeply religious. The Bronte siblings grew up writing stories, poems, and plays to amuse one another, since Yorkshire was sparsely populated and they rarely left home or saw other people. The moors of Yorkshire are the setting of Wuthering Heights. Emily Bronte never married and did not write under her own name while she was alive; recognizing that few people took female authors seriously at the time, she published her works under the androgynous pen name “Ellis Bell.” Summary Mr. Lockwood is renting Thrushcross Grange (a cottage in Yorkshire) from Heathcliff, who is a surly loner type who, at the beginning of the book, is living at Wuthering Heights, four miles from Thrushcross Grange. (Despite their impressive names, both properties are basically cottages.) Also residing at Wuthering Heights are Heathcliff’s daughter, Catherine; his son- in-law, Hareton Earnshaw; and two servants, Joseph and Nelly. On his first visit to Wuthering Heights, Lockwood claims to be thrilled with the “desolate” nature of the moor, but soon gets bored, so he asks Nelly to tell him her life story, which she does. Most of the book is narrated as Lockwood’s diary-version of Nelly’s version of what happened in the past. As a child, Nelly worked as a servant at Wuthering Heights.

  • Wuthering Heights
    Review: Wuthering Heights A Brief Summary Many people, generally those who have never read the book, consider Wuthering Heights to be a straightforward, if intense, love story — Romeo and Juliet on the Yorkshire Moors. But this is a mistake. Really the story is one of revenge. It follows the life of Heathcliff, a mysterious gypsy-like person, from childhood (about seven years old) to his death in his late thirties. Heathcliff rises in his adopted family and then is reduced to the status of a servant, running away when the young woman he loves decides to marry another. He returns later, rich and educated, and sets about gaining his revenge on the two families that he believed ruined his life. Prologue (chapters 1 to 3) Mr Lockwood, a rich man from the south, has rented Thrushcross Grange in the north of England for peace and recuperation. Soon after arrival, he visits his landlord, Mr Heathcliff, who lives in the remote moorland farmhouse called "Wuthering Heights". He finds the inhabitants of Wuthering Heights to be a strange group: Mr Heathcliff appears a gentleman but his manners and speech suggest otherwise; the mistress of the house is in her late teens, an attractive but reserved, even rude woman; and there is a young man who appears to be one of the family although he dresses and talks like a servant. Being snowed in, he has to stay the night and is shown to an unused chamber where he finds books and graffiti from a former inhabitant of the farmhouse called "Catherine". When he falls asleep, his dreams are prompted by this person and he has a nightmare where he sees her as a ghost trying to get in through the window.

Through close readings of both her prose and poetry, this paper seeks to understand the relationship between the dark, vindictive nature of Brontë’s characters and their hopeful ending. The first chapter, Here’s The Situation, discusses the situation as set up by the novel, focusing specifically on Catherine and Heathcliff. I discuss the violence and codependence of their relationship, their Gondal predecessors, their fascination with each other as well as their torment when apart, and the hell they create for themselves, and the characters themselves.

  • Top Withens in Winter WUTHERING HEIGHTS PACKET ADVANCED
    1 Top Withens in winter WUTHERING HEIGHTS PACKET ADVANCED PLACEMENT LITERATURE AND COMPOSITION R. GOLD, INSTRUCTOR-PIPER HIGH SCHOOL Bronte Falls 2 OVERVIEW OF EMILY BRONTË Emily Brontë has become mythologized both as an individual and as one of the Brontë sisters. She has been cast as Absolute Individual, as Tormented Genius, and as Free Spirit Communing with Nature; the trio of sisters–Charlotte, Emily, and Anne–have been fashioned into Romantic Rebels, as well as Solitary Geniuses. Their lives have been sentimentalized, their psyches psychoanalyzed, and their home life demonized. In truth, their lives and home were strange and often unhappy. Their father was a withdrawn man who dined alone in his own room; their Aunt Branwell, who raised them after the early death of their mother, also dined alone in her room. The two oldest sisters died as children. For three years Emily supposedly spoke only to family members and servants. Their brother Branwell, an alcoholic and a drug addict, put the family through the hell of his ravings and threats of committing suicide or murdering their father, his physical and mental degradation, his bouts of delirium tremens, and, finally, his death. As children, Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne had one another and books as companions; in their isolation, they created an imaginary kingdom called Angria and filled notebooks describing its turbulent history and character. Around 1831, thirteen-year old Emily and eleven-year old Anne broke from the Angrian fantasies which Branwell and Charlotte had dominated to create the alternate history of Gondal. Emily maintained her interest in Gondal and continued to spin out the fantasy with pleasure till the end of her life.

  • Kildwick and the Brontës – True Or False ? by Graham Taylor
    Kildwick and the Brontës – True or False ? by Graham Taylor Introduction It never takes very long. I mention to someone who knows the area that I’m a member of the Farnhill and Kildwick Local History Group and sooner or later I’ll be told “… of course Kildwick Hall is the real Wuthering Heights” or “… Charlotte Brontë attended Kildwick church”; I’ve even heard tell that “Charlotte’s ghost haunts the White Lion” ! There are so many connections, or supposed connections, between Kildwick and the Brontë family. The aim of this piece is to consider some of these and to discuss to what extent they might be fact or fiction. True or False ? 1. Charlotte Brontës took her nom-de-plume from the Currer family of Kildwick Hall Almost certainly true. The Brontë sisters used nom-de-plumes to disguise their identities as women. They took the surname Bell and chose gender-neutral forenames which meant that, in the culture of the times, it would naturally be assumed that they were men. They selected forenames that retained the initial letters of their own: Acton (Anne), Ellis (Emily) and Currer (Charlotte), but how these names came to be chosen is not known for certain. In the case of Acton/Anne it has been suggested that the nom-de-plume refers to Eliza Acton, the poet1. It is generally agreed that Charlotte’s “Currer” was derived from the family who owned Kildwick Hall. However, it’s not clear which member of the family inspired the choice. There are two possible candidates: Haworth Currer (1690 - 1744) This member of the family was suggested by J.

VOROSELO ABSTRACT Emily Brontë's sole novel, Wuthering Heights, is unusual among nineteenth- century works due to the non-specificity of its locations. While many of her contemporaries were very specific in the use of their settings, using real place names and locations that paralleled real-life locations of the time very closely, Brontë uses details of place that make it impossible to draw one-to-one correspondence between her settings and real-life locales, and includes details that serve to remind the reader that the places in which her story takes place, and thus the story itself, are unreal. She does this in order to exert total narrative control over her universe. This enables Brontë as an author to force her readers to confront the issue of power, since the reader must engage Brontë's narrative universe on the author‟s terms. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT ……………………………………………………………………. iii CHAPTER I.

  • The Yorkshire Dialect Representation in Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre by Emily and Charlotte Brontë
    AWEJ for Translation & Literary Studies, Volume 4, Number1. February 2020 Pp. 212-221 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.24093/awejtls/vol4no1.17 The Yorkshire Dialect Representation in Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre by Emily and Charlotte Brontë Khadidja Layadi - Mouffak Department of English Faculty of Foreign Languages University of Oran2 Mohamed BenAhmed, Algeria Abstract The use of dialect is common in literature. Sometimes writers are making use of the language of speech within the language of writing, the standard language. In this paper the researcher will not consider any dialect linguistically inferior to any other. Therefore, the present humble contribution is an attempt to investigate the motivations underlying the tendency for dialect in fiction. Moreover, it tries to explore the crucial position that this reality holds in a sociolinguistic analysis as well as a literary study. It focuses on Emily Brontë and her sister Charlotte who make use of the ‘Yorkshire’ dialect in Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Indeed, the two sisters have been in contact with different dialects and languages. They manage to reproduce the Yorkshire dialect in their writing. Because of this deviation in literary texts, characters are stigmatized by some readers as having the worst speech due to the differential access to ‘educational opportunities.’ Yet, what is the function of this technique? This paper tries to consider the writers’ intentions in using dialect in novels as well as to depict the meaning of the use of such a variety of languages. The impact of dialect in fiction is investigated in this study. The researcher thinks it will pave the way for further exploration for anyone interested in how far to go in using dialect in writing, without losing the readers.

    Emily Brontë LLeess HHaauuttss ddee HHuurrllee--VVeenntt BeQ Emily Brontë LLeess HHaauuttss ddee HHuurrllee--VVeenntt (Wuthering Heights) Traduction de Frédéric Delebecque La Bibliothèque électronique du Québec Collection À tous les vents Volume 593 : version 1.0 2 Les Hauts de Hurle-Vent Édition de référence : Le Livre de Poche, no 105. Image de couverture : Caspar David Friedrich. 3 Avertissement du traducteur Le roman qu’on va lire occupe dans la littérature anglaise du XIXe siècle une place tout à fait à part. Ses personnages ne ressemblent en rien à ceux qui sortent de la boîte de poupées à laquelle, selon Stevenson, les auteurs anglais de l’ère victorienne, « muselés comme des chiens », étaient condamnés à emprunter les héros de leurs récits. Ce livre est l’œuvre d’une jeune fille qui n’avait pas encore atteint sa trentième année quand elle le composa et dont c’était, à l’exception de quelques pièces de vers, la première œuvre littéraire. Elle ne connaissait guère le monde, ayant toujours vécu au fond d’une province reculée et dans une réclusion presque absolue. Fille d’un pasteur irlandais et d’une mère anglaise qu’elle perdit en bas âge, sa courte vie s’écoula presque entière dans un village du Yorkshire, avec ses deux sœurs et un 4 frère, triste sire qui s’enivrait régulièrement tous les soirs. Les trois sœurs Brontë trouvèrent dans la littérature un adoucissement à la rigueur d’une existence toujours austère et souvent très pénible. Après avoir publié un recueil de vers en commun, sans grand succès, elles s’essayèrent au roman.
