Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë (1847)First published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, Wuthering Heights was the only novel written by Emily Brontë, the second-youngest of the Brontë siblings, and she died a year after its publication at the age of 30. “The scope and drift of its imagination, its passionate exploration of a fatal yet regenerative love affair, and its brilliant manipulation of time and space put it in a league of its own,” writes McCrum in The Observer. “This is great English literature, the fruit of a quite extraordinary childhood.”
There is no lack of traces of repentance: "The other day a strange thing happened, while I was reading 'Wuthering Heights' (novel by Emily Brontë, ed) ... I remembered that evening, the night of the murder, but not as I always do , it was much stronger ... And for the first time I felt real sorrow for what I did, maybe I was even close to crying. But if I think about it now I don't feel the same things, I just don't feel anything, but maybe I'm getting close to true repentance. "
Toch is dit te simpel gedacht als het gaat om historische films en series, zeggen critici. Nu is het inderdaad wel eens tijd dat kostuumdrama’s wat minder wit worden. Als er al personages van kleur in voorkomen, staan ze doorgaans te zwoegen in de keuken, en dat klopt niet. Andrea Arnold castte voor haar Wuthering Heights (2011) een Afro-Caribische Heathcliff omdat hij in het boek van Emily Brontë wordt omschreven als ‘een zigeuner met een donkere huid’. (Floortje Smit) (Translation)
