Part of a series which aims to help delineate various critical approaches to specific literary texts, this book is an introduction to some of the main themes of Emily Bronte's criticism. It is also a distinctive reading of the roles of property and passion in "Wuthering Heights", exploring the presentation of houses and property roles, the anxieties of patriarchy and tensions between literacy and superstition. Peter Miles was the co-author of "Woman in White", "Framley Parsonage" and "Cinema, Literature and Society - Elite and Mass Culture in Interwar Britain".
