Baffling and fascinating its first readers, it has been read as a great love story, a tragedy of hatred, a promise of spiritual sublimity, an intriguing textual puzzle, an analogue of the class war, a feminist protest, a poem, a drama, a dialogue. It has inspired hundreds of interpretive versions in other media, and the image of Catherine and Heathcliff on the hill-top (despite not appearing in the novel) has become a cultural icon. In this Icon Readers' Guide, Patsy Stoneman has devised a careful route through the bewildering profusion of critical writing on Wuthering Heights. After a chapter on 19th century responses, the Guide links together a selection of extracts demonstrating the major critical developments of the 20th century, from humanism through formalism to deconstruction. Subsequent chapters, working within this general framework, focus on psychoanalytic readings, source studies, readings using discourse theory, work on dissemination, and political readings including Marxism, postcolonialism and feminism. In addition, the bibliography is probably the most comprehensive currently available. By combining thoroughness and accessibility, this Guide aims to be useful to both undergraduates and more advanced scholars. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

After reading it again to help my friends son finish high-school, did it became one of my favorite books. It's emotionally, psychologically complexity of Heathcliff obsessed - obsession led to a hardness and a madness of mind and morals. Like so many -- by their own EGO -- This man rude, and as proud and cruel with Greed is Loved and even recognizes as Catherines soul-mate. The desire to see his plan executes to the end, regardless of the cost to others, or to himself. Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who is reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. This is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond -- because of ego. ( )
