Emily Bronte

»Kanske den vackraste, den i grunden våldsammaste av alla kärlekshistorier.« Georges BatailleNär Emily Brontë [1818-1848] dog endast 30 år gammal, efterlämnade vad som i dag kallas världens mest klassiska kärleksroman. Svindlande höjder förtäljer historien om hur hittebarnet Heathcliff skapar ohanterligt starka band till sin välgörares dotter, Catherine Earnshaw. De är själsfränder men socialt sett tillhör de olika världar. Den våg av frustrerad längtan och destruktiv passion som följer när Catherine avböjer att gifta sig med Heathcliff är unik i världslitteraturen. I översättning av Gunilla Nordlund. EMILY BRONTË [1818-1848] var en engelsk författare, född i Thornton i West Yorkshire. Hon hade fem syskon, av vilka två var författarna Charlotte och Anne. Emily Brontë skrev förutom dikter en enda roman. Den kom att bli en av världslitteraturens allra största kärleksromaner, nämligen Svindlande höjder [Wuthering Heights, 1847].

The most consistent of all series in terms of language control, length, and quality of story. David R. Hill, Director of the Edinburgh Project on Extensive Reading.

Wuthering Heights is Emily Bront 's only novel. Written between October 1845 and June 1846, Wuthering Heights was published in 1847 under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell"; Bront died the following year, aged 30. Wuthering Heights and Anne Bront 's Agnes Grey were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre. After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850. Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews for the novel were deeply polarised; it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality. The English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti referred to it as "A fiend of a book - an incredible monster ... The action is laid in hell, - only it seems places and people have English names there." In the second half of the 19th century, Charlotte Bront 's Jane Eyre was considered the best of the Bront sisters' works, but following later re-evaluation, critics began to argue that Wuthering Heights was superior. The book has inspired adaptations, including film, radio and television dramatisations, a musical by Bernard J. Taylor, a ballet, operas (by Bernard Herrmann, Carlisle Floyd, and Fr d ric Chaslin), a role-playing game, and a 1978 song by Kate Bush.

Without a doubt, today Wuthering Heights is one of the most loved and treasured novels ever written in English - an absolute "must read". Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as one of the most important classics of English literature, contemporary reviews for the novel were deeply divided, as it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality. At times dark and sinister, the novel broke with many contemporary ideas as to how romantic literature should be composed. Wuthering Heights is Emily Bront 's only novel, written between October 1845 and June 1846, and published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell; she sadly died the following year, aged just 30. Though Emily would not live to experience it, Wuthering Heights rose to become a model of a romantic, gothic novel full of passion, jealousy and tragic love. The main characters Heathcliff and Catherine have been firmly established as the most tragic couple in literature since Romeo and Juliet.
