The Gothic romance is set in the Yorkshire moors, and is universally regarded as one of the classics of English literature. Fennell has spoken about her adoration of the gothic genre. "I've always been obsessed with the gothic," Fennell wrote intheLos Angeles Timesearlier this year. "Whether it was Edward Gorey's children who are variously choked by peaches, sucked dry by leeches or smothered by rugs; Du Maurier's imperiled heroines or the disturbing erotic power of Angela Carter's fairy tales, the gothic world has always had me in its grip. It's a genre where comedy and horror, revulsion and desire, sex and death are forever entwined, where every exchange is heavy with the threat of violence, or sex or both." Over the decades, there have been numerous film adaptation ofWuthering Heights, including a1939 filmstarring Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon, a1970 onewith Timothy Dalton and Anna Calder-Marshall, and a1992 adaptationstarring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche.
