Abstract
The centrepiece of this essay is non-verbal: a full-page graphic (p. 96) that portrays the first three levels of Emily Brontë’s nested narratives. Its two-dimensional space is defined in one direction by the 300 pages of her novel and in the other by its 300-year span. Dates: in working out the infrastructure for the graphic, we review many of the traditional dates assigned to events in Wuthering Heights, and find a few that might bear revision. In a second graphic (p. 99), we provide a new representation of the Earnshaw/ Linton genealogy, employing a ‘timeless topological’ approach. Expanding on a minor theme in Paglia’s 1991 Wuthering Heights essay, we also explore the many shades of humour in the novel, the majority of which are either too subtle or too outrageous to be perceived as humour on the first reading.
