London's Mayor Gallery is showing an exhibition of drawings by the poet Sylvia Plath. Among them there is a sketch of Top Withins: Wuthering Heights Today (Photograph: Frieda Hughes/The Mayor Gallery).
The Mayor Gallery  
Sylvia Plath. Her Drawings 
Until 17 December
The Guardian talks about the exhibition and particularly Wuthering Heights:
Both Plath and her husband Ted Hughes wrote fine poems called Wuthering Heights, neither of which exactly played down the bleakness. "Black stone, black stone," wrote Plath. "Iron beliefs, iron necessities," wrote Hughes. But the Plath sketch of a tumbledown bothy included in this exhibition, called Wuthering Heights Today, is bucolic rather than apocalyptic. (Sam Leith)
Her daughter Frieda explains some of the stories behind the drawings in this other article in The Guardian. No comments about Wuthering Heights, though.
