Abstract:

The originals of the houses Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange have long puzzled readers of the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontė. The late Everard Flintoff wrote a most detailed consideration of this issue in the Durham University Journal. This paper is reprinted here by popular request. Despite the unusual amount of carefully considered detail in the novel, no one known house or location entirely fits the details provided by Emily Brontė. The relative claims of High Sunderland Hall and Ponden Hall in particular are considered.
