Breaking the Frame in Brussels

An alert from the Brussels Brontë Group:

TALK ON WUTHERING HEIGHTS

Saturday 27 February 2010
Facultés Universitaires Saint-Louis (Room P61), Blvd du Jardin Botanique/Kruidtuinlaan 43, 1000 Brussels (Access map)

11.00: Breaking the Frame: the Narrators of Wuthering Heights. A talk by Nicholas Marsh, editor of Palgrave Macmillan's Analysing Texts series and author of many books in the series, including the study of Wuthering Heights.

Followed by questions and discussion.

We are very fortunate that Nicholas Marsh has agreed to come and talk to us. He is the general editor of Palgrave Macmillan's Analysing Texts series. Each book in the series sets out to give a thorough understanding of a writer by examining key passages from his/her works. Nicholas Marsh, a teacher of English literature, has written many of the books in the series, including a very clear and illuminating study of Wuthering Heights. His step-by-step, easy-to-follow and jargon-free analyses are not only full of insights about the novel, picking up on a lot of things that probably pass many readers by, but also provide you with tools and techniques for reading attentively that you can apply to all authors.

His book on Wuthering Heights is intended in particular for students but is perfect for general readers as well – anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the novel will get a lot out of it.

Nicholas Marsh is also the author of the popular How to Begin Studying English Literature.

In this talk, Nicholas Marsh will be discussing the ways in which the narrators in Wuthering Heights, unreliable and biased as they are and with only a partial view of the events related, are in fact used by Emily Brontë to make the novel more powerful.
