Wuthering Heights - Softcover
“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” Emily Brontė published “Wuthering Heights” in 1847 under the pseudonym, Ellis Bell. It was her first and only novel, as she died the following year, aged 30. A haunting story of intense and tragic beauty, early reviews found the stark depiction of mental and physical cruelty at odds with the inhibited nature of Victorian times. Nonetheless, no one could deny the enormous power and imagination of the novel and it has since become one of the most highly regarded classics of English literature.

Book Description:
Cambridge Literature is a series of literary texts edited for study by students aged 14-18 in English-speaking classrooms. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is edited by Richard Hoyes, Head of English and Media Studies, Farnham College, Surrey.
From the Publisher:
"My greatest thought in living is Heathcliff. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be... Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure... but as my own being." Wuthering Heights is the only novel of Emily Bronte, who died a year after its publication, at the age of thirty. A brooding Yorkshire tale of a love that is stronger than death, it is also a fierce vision of metaphysical passion, in which heaven and hell, nature and society, are powerfully juxtaposed. Unique, mystical, with a timeless appeal, it has become a classic of English literature.
