Wuthering Heights on Screen Seminar Day with Sam Hirst

This full-day workshop explores the adaptation history of Wuthering Heights, from the lost 1920 film to the most recent adaptation. You will have the chance to explore the archive collection of behind-the-scenes materials. 

The day will be divided into three workshops:

• The first will explore early productions, including the lost 1920 film and the 1939 classic, and their impact on later adaptations.
• The second session will explore the history of Wuthering Heights on the small and large screen, looking at the ways it won its reputation as a romance, exploring behind-the-scenes details of production, and investigating how different adaptations faced the challenges of adapting the complex novel.
• The final session will explore international adaptations of Wuthering Heights from Medieval Japan to 20th-century France, looking at how a quintessentially Yorkshire novel was translated to different contexts.
