Readers will find essays that trace its place within the literary landscape of its time, as well as overviews of previous criticism, allowing readers to engage with the ongoing scholarly discourse surrounding Emily Brontë’s masterpiece. Specific critical lenses including feminism, psychoanalysis, and postcolonial studies shed new light on the novel’s complexities, while comparative analyses uncover intriguing parallels and contrasts between Wuthering Heights and other works.
