Before Wuthering Heights Emily Had And Interest Stephanie Cowell's The Man In The Stone Cottage

The influence the Bronte sisters still have on entertainment today and withstanding the test of time - since the 1800’s!Why she thinks Wuthering Heights is still so relevant today…there have been at least 14 different film and TV versions of Wuthering Heights, most recently in 2022In real life - the Bronte sisters had a brother named Branwell - who was a drug abuser and alcoholic. He had an affair with a married woman called Mrs. Robinson which loosely inspired the film “The Graduate”The publishing world in 1847 is similar to the publishing world today.Many authors today have to publish with hybrid publishers and have to pay some of the upfront publishing costs.Both Emily (when writing “Wuthering Heights”) and Anne (when writing “Agnes Grey”) had to pay as much as a Governess earned in a year to get their books published.While these books have been praised as classical and well-regarded books, a few of them were largely disliked by reviewers, sometime even abhorred - but yet stand the test of time.
