Abstract
The silent film Wuthering Heights (dir. A.V. Bramble, 1920) was the first ever transposition of Emily Brontë’s novel. It was produced as part of the effort of British film production companies to recover the audiences lost during the First World War. I describe how I approached my research of this version from an archaeological perspective, as no known copies of the film remain in existence. I relied on materials such as still photos and press reviews from the period to reconstruct the transposition. Then, the resurfacing of the film’s original script in 2015 compelled me to re-evaluate my initial conclusions in consideration of this new information.
