Wuthering Heights is a unique novel in a unique way. The present commentary shows how Emily Bronte’s novel defies comparison and is yet deeply rooted in the cultural and literary traditions of Europe. It explores the themes characters and form of the novel including narrative technique, narrative modes, and management of time schemes. The novel’s poetic quality is discussed in depth. Some well-known interpretations of the novel are also subjected to critical examination. The book will, no doubt, prove immensely helpful to students in preparing good answers and will stimulate scholars and researchers to fresh thinking about Wuthering Heights and its author.
