1960s Counterculture
This period was filled with a lot of uncertainty and social turmoil.
Between the hippies, the Cuban missile crisis, the World Fair,
Bay of Pigs, and the Vietnam War, the world was spinning which
prompted a lot of revolutionary behavior with an emphasis on sex,
drugs, and rock and roll. Could this be the period in which to
set your Wuthering Heights? Check out the following links to decide.
