jazzy_daveJohn Sutherland "Is Heathcliff a Murderer?: Great Puzzles in Nineteenth-Century Fiction (Oford Univ. Press)
Sutherland examines literary texts ranging from Hound of the Baskervilles to Mansfield Park and Frankenstein for solutions to questions raised but not settled by the text. Is slavery a key to the fortune of Austen's Sir Thomas? How was Frankenstein's monster constructed? Who fed the dread hound on the moors? This is obviously a text for literature nerds, like myself, or those who are taking a degree in the humanities. Entertaining little book.
