Wuthering Heights on DHD

Tomorrow, June 1, the Discovery HD Theatre channel (a cable high definition network from Discovery Communications Inc. ) broadcasts Great Books: Wuthering Heights.

DHD — Great Books (Discovery School)
Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë lived like a recluse in a fantasy world that she and her siblings started when she was six. Her novel Wuthering Heights, a tale of thwarted passion and cruelty, was considered immoral when first published. The central character, Heathcliff, became an archetype for the modern anti-hero. This program compares Heathcliff’s character to Bronte’s life of isolation and rejection. (26 Minutes )
