“This is certainly a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. A perfect misanthropist’s heaven: and Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us.”

As from the age of sixteen I have been fascinated by Emily Brontë’s novel ‘Wuthering Heights’. I read the novel many times and frequently visited Emily’s residential village of Haworth and the surrounding moors in West Yorkshire (UK). I felt I wanted to make a visual impression of my relationship with the book. For me this relationship mainly lies in the character of Heathcliff and the overwhelming setting of the story.

Though often called a love story ‘Wuthering Heights’ is much more than that. It is a story about juvenile love, abandonment, revenge, the human condition and social mobility. Combined with the spiritual elements that coincide with the mystery of the moors the novel is one of a kind and one of the greatest in English Literature.

In the course of time I have read many books about Emily and her sisters and their work. If you want to know more about the book or if you want me to do a presentation on the book please do not hesitate to contact me.

The photography project will be finished in 2026. More photos will be published then.
