About this listen
Emily Bronte was one of six children brought up on the bleak Yorkshire moors, and was described by her sister Charlotte as “not a person of demonstrative character”. Yet in her late twenties, this solitary and introverted woman wrote one of the strangest and most remarkable novels in the English language; the story of the doomed love of Cathy and Heathcliff resonates down the generations to the present day. How on earth did such a woman write such a book? Was it based on her personal experience, or did it come entirely from her imagination? Why is it so full of violence and misery? How can a child survive in a world of hatred? Was Emily a better writer than her sister? And why did they all die young? Join Rupert and Charlie as they explore the extraordinary story of the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and the effect that Heathcliff had on them all.
