Victorian ........ mmmmm .... should I give Queen Victoria a steampunk makeover or may be I should do something with Victorian fashion! Finally, however, I settled on the great Victorian Gothic Novel, and what better one than Wuthering Heights by our very own Yorkshire lass Emily Bronte.
A couple of weeks ago I visited Haworth and the Parsonage where the Bronte sisters lived with their father Patrick and brother Branwell.
Emily, writing under the pseudonym of Ellis Bell, wrote Wuthering Heights from there, and just behind the church where her father Patrick was vicar is Haworth Moor and the scene where in Emily's imagination the drama unfolds between Heathcliff and Cathy. Mmmmmmm ...... one of my very most favourite novels EVER.
Thanks Bev for the inspiration.
Thank you for looking.
....and thank you, Ann, for bringing the era to life once again, and for sharing your wonderful photos! This is very special.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Your pics remind me of my trip to Europe, thanks for the wonderful flashback. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, Ann, you have blown me away with this stupendous collage made mostly from your own photos. I love the way you have worked the "wordy" plaques into the mix. Absolutely first class!!
ReplyDeleteAn unbelievable brilliant collage. x
ReplyDeleteI clicked to see the details! You did a masterful job of incorporating bits and pieces together , perfect collage. Actually would make a great book cover!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning art work!!!
What an awesome piece, Ann!! Gosh, how brilliant! Thanks for the tour! Wish I was there!
ReplyDeletewow miss ann, this is AMAZING! I can't believe how many different images you blended together to create this beautiful piece of art. Truly stunning!

ReplyDeleteWow, this is some really really good stuff, Ann!
ReplyDeleteAnn ~ This is unique and brilliant...what a wonderful creation...a big standing O from me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, ann. I love the beautiful pix you used to make it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic piece of art Ann!!,love the pics too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to take this novel as the theme of your piece! You have built a real mind-map of "Wuthering Heights" in your collage - fantastic!
ReplyDeleteA great collage - it looks very modern despite its reference to the time period. A brilliant entry!
ReplyDeleteThe story of the Brontes is so tragic. Did you know that Charlotte died of morning sickness? Poor woman! Lovely piece. I prefer Jane Eyre over Wuthering Heights - I think Mr Rochester was possibly a better bet than Heathcliffe!
ReplyDeletewow what beautiful blending , what a great combination of elements taht mean something to you
ReplyDeleteAn amazing collage, Ann. You have surpassed yourself!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone- this really is amazing. It has something different and special.
ReplyDeleteThis was so extraordinary Ann... love the way you've manipulated words and images - masterly!
