About this episode
Last week, Adrian and Moira went to the movies and watched director Emerald Fennell's version of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (trailer here). In this episode they explore the gender politics of the novel, of this adaptation and what it says about the fate of romance fiction in the 2020s.
Here are some of the texts we refer to in the discussion or used in preparing for it:
Elizabeth Hardwick, "Working Girls: The Brontës"
Georges Bataille, "Literature and Evil"
Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar, "The Madwoman in the Attic"
