![]() ![]() If you’re unfamiliar with this literary family, it consists of three very famous sisters named Charlotte, Emily, and Jane. My eyes were soon opened to the wonderful world that the Brontë sisters created for themselves and their readers. To be honest I welcomed the change and the opportunity to discover titles that I had either never heard of or had just heard of in passing. When I decided to pursue my Master’s degree in English literature in Paris (yes, it’s ironic, I know!), the texts we studied were decidedly British, not American. ![]() And, we tended to focus on American writers. I grew up in the United States and the closest I ever got to studying literature was my high school English classes. I have always been passionate about reading and writing, but I’ll be the first to admit that I was pretty clueless about classic British literature until I went back to school at the ripe age of 26. Well, by “quite some time,” I mean, a few months.maybe a year. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë is a book that had been on my radar for quite some time before I happened to notice a copy nestled amongst other classic titles in a basket selling books at discount prices in one of my favorite bookstores. ![]()
