Wuthering Heights

Introduction and Notes by John S. Whitley, University of Sussex. Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.Author: Brontë, Emily,author,Whitley, John S.,introduction,Carabine, Dr Keith,series_editor Contributors: Brontë, Emily,author,Whitley, John S.,introduction,Carabine, Dr Keith,series_editor Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 272 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Reprint Published/Release Date: 5 May 1992 Bic Classification: Classic fiction (pre c 1945) bicCode: Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Wordsworth Editions Ltd Author/Director/Artist: Emily Bronte Dimension (cm): 196x127x15 mm Package Dimension (cm): 19x195x125 mm Item Weight (g): 181 Package Weight (g): 200
