Wuthering Heights - Inside Heatchliff's home

 I've shelf-surfed to bring you a vivid reinterpretation of one of my favourite tomes. January, last year I was magnetised to the introduction of the beautiful Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights. On the the first five pages is a haunting picture perfect description of Heathcliff''s home.

 Talented photographer Tony Amos and I got together and created our version of the legendary home. I previewed the images on Instagram yesterday and I thought I would share it here on SnOOp. 

  

"Above the chimney were ….a couple of horse-pistols and by way of ornament, three gaudily painted canisters 
disposed along its ledge”.

 “Happily, the architect had foresight to build it strong; the narrow windows are deeply set in the wall…”

“Mr Heathcliff forms a singular contrast to his abode and living. He is a dark-skinned gypsy in aspect, in dress and manners a gentleman: that is as much a gentleman as many a country squire.” - Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

 "One end indeed, reflected splendidly both light and heat from ranks of immense pewter dishes, interspersed with silver jugs and tankards, towering row after row, on a vast oak dresser, to the very roof... It's entire anatomy lay bare to an enquiring eye, except where a frame of wood laden with oatcakes and clusters of legs of beef, mutton and ham concealed it."

  “He’ll love and hate equally under cover, and esteem it a species of impertinence to be loved or hated again …rather slovenly, perhaps, yet not looking amiss with his negligence, because he has an erect and handsome figure; and rather morose.”

  “…the chairs high-backed, primitive structures,…green : one or two heavy black ones lurking in the shade.”
