The Book Club: Wuthering Heights

The podcast introduces "The Book Club," a new show hosted by Dominic Sandbrook and Tabitha Syrett, spun off from their work on "The Rest Is History." The show delves into classic and contemporary books, exploring the stories behind the stories, author backgrounds, and historical context. Episodes alternate between older works like "Wuthering Heights" and newer titles such as "Never Let Me Go." As an example, they dissect Emily Brontë's personal life, highlighting her unconventional behavior, her violent treatment of her dog, and the potential influence of her upbringing on her writing. They also discuss the plot of Wuthering Heights, and the character relationships. The hosts aim to provide insightful analysis whether listeners have read the books or not, promising lively debate and personal reactions.
