To all such 'Wuthering Heights' must appear a rude and strange production. The wild moors of the North England can for them have no interest: the language, the manners, the very dwellings...must be to such readers in a great measure unitelligible, and- where intelligible- republisive; (Charlotte Bronte 1850) How far do Charlotte Bronte's words go in explaining the hostile reception 'Wuthering Heights' recieved on its publication in 1848? Examine why the book failed to ignite the interest of readers in 1848.
Please help.
Thank you.
