The Classical Influence in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights : Nature and the Sublime

Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (1847) is considered a controversial novel, since it seems to be out of place in its historical moment. The novel was published during the Victorian Era, even though there is no doubt that Brontë was familiar with Romanticism, for her novel embraces many Romantic features. Wuthering Heights could be also understood in terms of an earlier literary movement such as the Gothic. Nonetheless, little has been said about the Classical influence in the novel. The aim of this project is to show that Classical influence, in terms of nature, is more powerful than expected in Wuthering Heights.Cims Borrascosos (1847) d'Emily Brontë, és una novel·la amb forces controvèrsies, pel que fa al gènere el qual pertany. Fou publicada durant l'època Victoriana, però abraça elements del Romanticisme. Diversos estudiosos han assegurat que Cims Borrascosos conté elements d'un moviment literari previ al Romanticisme, el Gòtic. Tanmateix, pocs estudis s'han dedicat a veure la influència clàssica que es pot trobar a la novel·la. L'objectiu d'aquest projecte és fer veure que la influència clàssica, pel que fa la natura, és més forta del que es pugi imaginar
