Wuthering Heights Reading Guides
In Spring 2025 I hosted my first read-along of Wuthering Heights. Organized into a 9-Week schedule with up to four chapters assigned at a time, it ran between 20 March and 21 May. The essays are quite extensive in their summarization and analysis.
I thought I would remind you all that my Reading Guides are available to all paying subscribers. This includes the 9-Week Read-Along as well as A Natural History of Wuthering Heights, a collection of thirty-four essays exploring flora, fauna, fungi and folklore found in the novel.
Also available to every paid subscriber is access to Character profiles, Places and the Almanac. For those reading the single volume of the novel, a Chapter Conversion Chart is also available (including a printable PDF).
Have you seen the results of my poll to choose an Autumn read-along?
50+ General Topic Essays are available FREE to all subscribers in the Archive
Among essays collected in the Archive, posts from 3 monthly series may be found:
This… was a short-lived series of posts highlighting the coming month on Symbolism & Structure. The Mid-month posts replace it. They are basic notes on topics I believe may be of interest to my readers. Past editions include details on events at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, a Short Story Club hosted by the Poe Museum (Baltimore, MD), Brontë-related books, etc.
From My Study is a monthly dispatch written to share my nature photography and my own creative writing practice. The first half of the post is for everyone and a paywall is added before I discuss details related to the novel I am writing.
Are you looking for something in particular? Always access Symbolism & Structure using a browser for the best experience! You can search the entire website using the little icon of a hand lens (in the upper right-hand corner); also on the Home page, a drop-down box organized by subject is located in the nav bar.
When using the Search tool, remember to place quotation marks around a subject to clarify the term. In the example below I searched for “ling,” a folk name for heather.
If I do not place the quotation marks around the search term, every essay including rustling or grappling will be included in the search. I love this feature—I use it on my own website all the time! ♡
I hope these resources help you find your way around Symbolism & Structure!
