| Rezumat: | The present paper aims to give a sketchy presentation of some the main elements of composition and structure that turned Emily Bronte‟s masterpiece into a work of synthesis, combining gothic, romantic and realistic features. The author artistically presented the background made up of the the last days of rural England in her masterpiece, with the contradictions tearing apart the society in Yorkshire and Lancashire, mainly triggered by the rapid industrial growth. Arguably, the book represents one of the turning-points placed at the watershed between the typically Gothic indulgence in the macabre, and the perception of its rough artistry. The (apparent?) realism of Wuthering Heights may be said to clash with its unique poetry, and yet the writer achieved a rare feat of realistic presentation of the physical world. By and large, the book is a modern literary enterprise, of vigorous conception and consummate art, a revolutionary, though rather odd, demonstration of literary genius turned to full account, which left behind poor imitations. |
