“Nature is an inexplicable problem; it exists on a principle of destruction,” wrote Emily Brontë in 1842. All creatures “are built on one,” wrote Charles Darwin in 1838. Acclaimed novelist and distinguished critic Stevie Davies, author of four books on Emily Brontë, considers the place of animal life in Wuthering Heights and Emily’s poetry; her reverence for and fellowship with the instinctual life of the animals and the beauty and suffering of the planet.
