Texts in the City: Wuthering Heights
Studying a book or film can be a short-cut to consigning it to boredom. But our Texts in the City series – a gift to students, their teachers and lifelong learners – brings the VCE English and Literature lists to life.

Each week, our hosts – authors Lili Wilkinson and Tony Birch – will interview experts intimately familiar with the texts, unearthing those hidden gems that could help your essay shine.

This week, we dive into Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights.

Presented in association with The Victorian Association for the Teaching of English. (rodneyvc)

Short biography
Emily Brontë, like her older sister Charlotte and younger sister Anne, used a masculine-sounding pseudonym for publication of her writing because of 19th-century prejudice against female authors. She became a teacher at age 20, but her health was poor, and she returned home in April 1839. From then on, she did much of the cooking and cleaning for the household and taught Sunday school. In 1842, Emily and Charlotte attended a girls' academy in Brussels, Belgium, hoping to perfect their French and German so they could open their own school. However, they were unable to attract pupils to their remote Yorkshire home. Emily published Wuthering Heights, her only novel, in 1847. She became ill during her brother Branwell's funeral in September 1848 and died in December.
