Emily Brontë: Wuthering Heights
Captions available
The idea
Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë's only novel, published in eighteen forty-seven as by "Ellis Bell," concerns the Earnshaws, the Lintons and their foster son Heathcliff on the Yorkshire moors. It is told by the tenant Lockwood, who hears the story from others, a layered frame.
In practice
Two houses, Heathcliff, a layered frame.
Where people slip
The narrators are outsiders to the passion.
