Emily Brontë Reappraised

"Emily Bronte 's incomparable Wuthering Heights is, for many of us, one of our most cherished novels, with the character of Heathcliff being the ultimate romantic hero. It is a work that has bewitched us for almost 200 years. But Emily herself remains an enigmatic, even mysterious figure, often painted unfairly in a negative light. So Emily Bronte Reappraised conjures a new image of the great writer by looking at her afresh from the vantage point of the new millennium. It's a biography with a twist, taking in the themes of her life and work - her feminism, her passion for the natural world - as well as the art she has inspired, and even the fake news stories about her. What we discover is that she was, in fact, a thoroughly modern woman. And now, in the 21st century, it's time for the real Emily Bronte to please stand up."--
