163 years ago today Emily Brontë turned 'her dying eyes reluctantly from the pleasant sun' as Charlotte put it. Little did she imagined when she - also reluctantly - sent
Wuthering Heights into the world that many decades later the world will get acquainted with it on several new formats. While people all over the world continue reading the actual novel, fans of the novel have had a couple of treats this year: Classical Comics' graphic novel and Andrea Arnold's movie adaptation. And the conservation work being currently carried out at Top Withens ensures that many enthusiasts will also continue to make the pilgrimage to the supposed location of the imaginary far on the moors.
Its author may have turned her eyes from the sun years ago but the sun has yet never set on
Wuthering Heights.
