Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

In Matt Simpson's introduction he asks the simple-seeming question - what kind of novel is it? - and offers a variety of possible answers which are both searching and provocative. For him it is primarily a great ghost-story, one that commits the reader to an inescapable conclusion that there is life after death. By careful analysis he shows in detail how Emily Bronte cunningly controls the reader's responses by means of her extraordinary manipulation of time and through multiple forms of narration."
