How did he make his fortune and improve himself. This is my "maybe" possibility. He thundered off down the road to Liverpool on the master's best horse, and coming upon a highway robbery in process, he instantly jumps and kills the murderous bandit, injuring himself. The wealthy gentleman, with his young family, is so grateful, he takes Heathcliff home, sets him up with clothing, teaching, and other attentions. Heathcliff, under the wealthy gents direction, makes some lucrative voyages to America, possibly in the " SlaveTrade" or running guns to America during the War of Independance. Heathcliff would be on the loose, by my calculations, about 1781-1784, good timing for both of these business deals.
Then, Heathcliff returns to Cathy, a full grown hero. Note. Mr Lockwood arrives in 1801 when Heathcliff is about 40. Heathcliff runs away when he is about 20.

Note: I am reading "Sunset Song" by Lewis Grassic Gibbon. The mother says to her daughter, " Oh, Chris, my lass, there are better things than your books or studies or loving or bedding, there's the countryside your own, you its, in the days when you're neither bairn nor woman".
Emily, the moors, her own and she, theirs.........the heath and the cliff.......the eternal rocks, the bones of life itself.

I live in Haworth and its a real shame that production companies don't use the facilities that are available in the village, ie the moors, the lovely stately homes 4 miles away etc, etc, etc.

So we have seen it..........Are we thrilled, engaged, intrigued? Did chills go up our spines? Did the hairs stand up on the back of our necks? Did we FEEL? Did we feel the love, the agony, the suffering, the passion, the hatred, the confusion? Did the characters live, act for themselves and come alive? Was Emily proud?
My answers to all of these and more is NO NO NO.

A splendid introduction. Is there any indication of the accent the girls spoke? Irish, Cornish,Yorkshire, R.P. or other?
"She [ Anne ] lasted the Spring of 1949." Also, the Fall seems predominantly for US readers. Was this intentional? Otherwise, over here, it's called Autumn. |

The Definition of Love by Andrew Marvell
My love is of a birth as rare As 'tis for object strange and high: It was begotten by Despair Upon Impossibility. Magnanimous Despair alone Could show me so divine a thing, Where feeble Hope could ne'er have flown But vainly flapped its tinsel wing. And yet I quickly might arrive Where my extended soul is fixed But Fate does iron wedges drive, And always crowds itself betwixt. For Fate with jealous eye does see Two perfect loves, nor lets them close: Their union would her ruin be, And her tyrranic power depose. And therefore her decrees of steel Us as the distant Poles have placed (Though Love's whole world on us doth wheel) Not by themselves to be embraced, Unless the giddy heaven fall, And earth some new convulsion tear; And, us to join, the world should all Be cramped into a planisphere. As lines (so loves) oblique may well Themselves in every angle greet: But ours so truly parallel, Though infinite, can never meet. Therefore the love which us doth bind, But Fate so enviously debars, Is the conjunction of the mind, And opposition of the stars.

Hi everyone - how are you all? Read any good Bronte books lately? I recently finished Rebecca Fraser's bio, which was excellent. And currently I have been reading 'Shirley'. I tried it once before and could not get past the 1st chapter; I gave up because, honestly, I found it dull. If anyone else has had the same experience, I just want to say KEEP READING. It may be difficult to 'get into' it at first, but it definitely picks up in pace and interest by about the 4th chapter. And of course, since it's a Bronte novel, it is worth the reading!
Anyone want to talk about 'Shirley'?? Lisa

On another subject: I wonder if anyone would care to weigh in on their favorite Jane Eyre film adaptation. (I'm kind of taking it for granted that no one will ever do a really good Wuthering Heights). I rather liked the Ciaran Hinds/Samantha Morton film, but I've heard the one on Masterpiece Theatre is truly excellent.

I WOULD LIKE TO USE THIS POST AS A WAY FOR EVERYONE TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AS THEY VISIT THE SITE. I WILL START: MY NAME IS MARIE AND I AM THE CREATOR OF THIS SITE. I FIRST CAME TO KNOW THE BRONTË'S THROUGH A SCHOLASTIC MAGAZINE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT HAD A CONDENSED VERSION OF A JANE EYRE PLAY IN IT, AND I WAS PICKED TO PLAY THE PART OF JANE. AFTER THAT I IMMEDIATELY READ THE BOOK, FELL IN LOVE, AND HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY INFATUATED EVER SINCE. I AM A STUDENT AT EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY, AND AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN GOING TO PHARMACY SCHOOL OR GOING THE ENGLISH/LITERATURE ROUTE. JANE EYRE IS MY FAVORITE NOVEL, WITH VILLETTE COMING IN A CLOSE SECOND, BUT I AM TRYING TO DIVE INTO THE SISTER'S POETRY, ESPECIALLY EMILY'S, TO TRY AND EXPERIENCE MORE OF THEIR TALENT IN THAT ASPECT. SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO INTRODUCE YOURSELVES OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, JUST ASK!!!

I thought that anyone who tries the brontë target puzzle could let everyone know how they are doing, and if someone finds all 36 words. I will give you one hint, which was pretty obvious when I started to look at all the letters present. It said that there must be at least one nine-letter word, and if you studying the square for a moment, it becomes obvious that Wuthering is a nine-letter work from the group. So far I have come up with about 10 words. So let me know how far anyone has got that has tried.

Rosi -
I found it. :) A well written essay. You write very well. It's really a fascinating exploration of the novel. And you make me want to read the book to explore these ideas on my own. And of course I will. As I'm new to the Brontes, it is so true that there are 'so many books and so little time.' I am finishing up a biography of Branwell Bronte, and want to re-read Agnes Grey to get a few points regarding Anne and Branwell solidified in my brain, and then hopefully on to the depths of Wuthering Heights.

I rather love it too (I designed it), but just a reminder to everyone that this cast is not the film's current cast, nor is Becker International selling the film. It is a very old poster!! But thanks very much for the shout out! Keep an eye on IMDB for the most recent updates. Angela W.

Hello Ms Rochester. I don't know if this page always had that clip from the Bronte Parsonage blog, but please know that that information is no longer accurate. Charles Sturridge is not directing (as you're now aware) and his locations will not be used, nor will his crew. If you would be so kind as to make a note of that, or remove that post, I would appreciate it. I realize there have been many confusing changes to this production, but if you look on Imdb you'll see that all of that information has been removed. I don't want your readers to be confused, as I'm sure you would agree. Many thanks! AW

MARK RYAN’S MUSICAL ADAPTATION OF EMILY BRONTE’S “WUTHERING HEIGHTS” NOW AVAILABLE ON iTUNES
Music from Singer/Songwriter/Actor Mark Ryan and co-producer Rob Vallier’s musical adaptation of Emily Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” is now available for purchase and download on the iTunes Music Store and CDBaby. The six original songs are also available for streaming at www.wutheringheightsmusic.com and www.myspace.com/wutheringheightsmusic. Wuthering Heights Music features vocal performances by Mark Ryan; Jenn Korbee; Jessica Keenan Wynn and Katie Boeck plus musical performances by Tina Guo and Brad Fernquist. The six songs available for single purchase or as an EP include “Heathcliff’s Prayer” (Mark Ryan, Jenn Korbee); “I Love the Wind” (Mark Ryan, Jenn Korbee); “Kiss the Moon” (Mark Ryan); “Women” (Jenn Korbee, Jessica Keenan Wynn, Katie Boeck); “Dark Passion” (Mark Ryan, Jenn Korbee, Katie Boeck); and “I Am the Man” (Jenn Korbee). The Wuthering Heights Music website offers a promotional stream featuring four songs with narration by Ray Winstone and a video for “Women” directed by Mark Ryan. “I am excited to have Wuthering Heights Music available on iTunes,” said Mark Ryan. “With so much online support of the project, it is the perfect place to target our audience and extend our reach to new listeners.” Growing up amongst the hauntingly romantic landscapes of Yorkshire, Ryan developed an emotional connection to the story of Wuthering Heights, inspiring him to write eighteen original songs. The project was put on hold for Ryan’s burgeoning film and television career, and with the success of Transformers (Ryan voices Bumblebee), he decided it was finally the right time to record the music. Fans of Ryan, from his early days on Robin of Sherwood to his young Transformers fans, have embraced the new project and helped to support it online. |
