Annotation Emily Bronte's beloved novelWuthering Heightshas been adaptedcountless times for film and television over the decades. Valerie V.Hazette offers here a historical and transnational study of thoseadaptations, presenting the afterlife of the book as a series of culturaljourneys that focus as much on the readers, film-makers, and viewersas on the dramas themselves. Taking in the British silent film; French, Mexican, and Japanese versions; the British television serials; andmore, this richly theoretical volume is the first comprehensive global analysis of the adaptation ofWuthering Heightsfor film and television."
