„who is the lover in your poems?!“ – diese frage spielt das bbc drama „cold in the earth and fifteen wild decembers“ (audio, 1:30 h) durch. ob emily bronte ihren roman „wuthering heights“ nicht doch mit autobiographischem material – etwa einer affaire mit dem sohn eines webers (forschungsergebnisse von sarah fermi) – ausgestattet hat. (via bronteblog):
Sarah’s research focused on the theory that Emily Brontë probably had a tragic romantic relationship with a young working-class lad, Robert Clayton, who died when they were both 18 years old. Questions were asked as to how Emily Brontë was able to write such a powerful love story which turned into the classic ‘Wuthering Heights’ novel without experiencing such strong emotions herself.
