Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘The Beach of Falesá’ are nineteenth-century literary works that draw on the Victorian realist tradition yet deviate from it in several important ways. Discuss some elements in the two works that deviate from literary realism and what might they tell us about the hybrid nature of both works. Support your argument by providing specific examples from the works. Make sure you use and cite your sources properly.

 Important guidelines:

  1. This TMA will be graded out of 20 marks.
