There have been some really fun editions of Wuthering Heights floating around on Tumblr lately. Is there some sort of anniversary that I’m unaware of? Or just a nice coincidence?

Day 27- A Book You Would Write if You Had All the Resources

If I had all the resources in the world, I would love to write a scholarly book expanding upon my senior thesis of the absence of mothers in gothic literature and the effects on the relationships of the motherless character.  The idea of writing a chapter on a different motherless character instead of trying to combine them all into one cohesive narrative flow would be wonderful.  Especially if I could expand out of strictly gothic lit and grab characters from other genres.  While I’m really interested in the subject, I would seriously have to have a major financial backer because the idea of trying to do all the research and writing the book while working full time and trying to keep the rest of my life in order just makes my brain hurt.
