The Word On... Wuthering Heights
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."With [Peter] Bowker reportedly – literally – taking a Stanley knife to the original book in order to arrange it into a coherent and hence more transferable-to-screen timeline, he butchered some of the original essence and culled some of the characters too." - primetime.unrealitytv.co.uk
"It looked just like I had imagined it when I read the book: the contrast between Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, how the characters look, the authentic-looking, beautiful costumes. 'Wuthering Heights' cost £3m to make and will be ITV's last period drama, due to budgets being slashed over the next two years." - poetatheartx. blogspot.com
"One hour into last night's opening episode of 'Wuthering Heights' – and there'd still been no lesbian clinches or unnecessary flashes of flesh. Surely some mistake! 'Wuthering Heights' didn't really need sexing up: it's all about pent-up emotion, tortured souls, passion and revenge." - blogs.orange.co.uk/tv
"I didn't have high hopes for this newest TV version – which is perhaps just as well, as I would have been deeply disappointed in it if I had. The whole production was a watered-down, adulterated mess that would have had Emily Brontë spinning in the crypt under Haworth parsonage." - kate-walker.blogspot.com
