This project delves into the relationship between the novel Wuthering Heights, her author Emily Brontë and Imperialism. Drawing on her historical context and the several clues left in her novel, it tries to raise a discussion on the reasons why such a debate could be established and, furthermore, it advocates for a position in which it is asseverated that the text contests the Imperial bias of the time. In addition, not only does it talk about the content of the novel but about the genre and aesthetic chosen as well. As a way to culminate the project, a relationship between the Gothic and Imperialism is established. Or in other words, the final section closes elaborating on how they converge and why the particular shades of the cited genre seem an appropriate manner to follow the critical tone of the novel.
