And rightly so: the incomparable \u003cem\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/em\u003e is a novel that has bewitched us for almost 200 years, and the character of Heathcliff is seen by some as the ultimate romantic hero--and villain. But Emily herself remains an enigmatic figure, often portrayed as awkward, volatile, as a misanthrope, as \"no normal being.\" That's the conventional wisdom on Emily as a person, but is it accurate, is it fair?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this biography with a twist, Claire O'Callaghan conjures a new image of Emily and rehabilitates her reputation by exploring the themes of her life and work--her feminism, her passion for the natural world--as well as the art she has inspired, and even the \"fake news\" stories about her. What do we really know about her romantic life, for example, or about who and what inspired her characters and stories?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat we discover is that Emily was, in fact, a thoroughly modern woman. So now, two centuries on, it's time for the real Emily Bront? to step forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr Claire O'Callaghan is a Lecturer in English in the School of Arts, English and Drama at Loughborough University in the UK, where her research focuses on Victorian and neo-Victorian literature and culture, with an emphasis on gender, sexuality, and queerness.
