Lifetime Learning: The Enduring Power of Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights,' Part 4

With Joseph Auciello (B.A., Boston University; M.A., Boston College). Fierce love, unbending hatred, and primitive passion unto death across the Yorkshire moors: Here is the story of Catherine and Heathcliff, a Shakespearean pair of “star-crossed lovers.” Virginia Woolf observed that Emily Bronte possessed “the rarest of all powers” that enabled her to lift her characters “into the presence of greatness.” If ever a Greek tragedy could be written as an English novel, it would be Wuthering Heights.

We’ll use the Penguin Classics edition, edited by Pauline Nestor (ISBN 9780141439556).
