On the Bullet Train with Emily Brontë

Wuthering Heights in Japan

Judith Pascoe

"Embark on a journey to discover the unbridled fascination that Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights continues to elicit in Japan, nearly a century after its introduction to the country. In On the Bullet Train with Emily Brontë, Judith Pascoe shares her enthralling account of exploring the many translations, adaptations, and adaptations of Brontë's text by Japanese novelists, filmmakers, and manga artists. Pascoe also offers her insight as an adult student of Japanese and muses on the dearth of English translations of major Japanese writers. This book is a compelling tribute to the enduring power of great literature beyond borders."
