5. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë (1847)Emily Brontë helped birth the gothic novel with this story of the doomed love between Catherine and Heathcliff, whose tortured life amid the moors culminates in avenging those who kept them apart by acquiring the home of Thrushcross Grange from Catherine’s husband. The novel illustrates the good and evil living inside all of us. (Toni Fitzgerald)
Over the centuries, women have flocked to Gothic romance. From Radcliffe on, female leads began to govern the genre, including Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre in 1847 and Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca in 1938. (Lindy Ryan)
Reflecting on projecting herself into Jane Eyre, imaginatively assembling its fictional world through her knowledge of her own, Linda reflects “that’s how fiction works, doesn’t it?” Through her mosaic of mirrored details across various story worlds – drawn from within and outside the novel, all springing from Ida’s brain – Brown brilliantly demonstrates that’s how fiction is written, too. (Jo Case)
Some of the searing dialogue between the star-crossed pair has echoes of those immortal creatures of the crags – Catherine Earnshaw and the demonic Heathcliff in ‘Wuthering Heights’. (Gerry McLaughlin)
