 | Beyond the Book: Nelly Dean, The Only Adult in the RoomWhen one sets aside the love story that kicks off the narrative in Wuthering Heights, it is easier to marvel at the intricate, twisted story structure Brontë has crafted, with Nelly Dean at the center. The 2025 edition of the book published by Unnamed Press's Smith & Taylor imprint features a conversation between award-winning author and poet Derrick Austin and author and University of Bristol lecturer Noreed Masud. Among other topics, they hit upon this very centrality. Nelly is both the book's center and its frame, her influence spiraling from the middle out. |
