Synopsis

First published in 1847 only one year before the death of Emily Brontė at the age of thirty, Wuthering Heights is a English novel about love and death, hope and despair, romance and horror, revolving around the eponymous farmhouse on the Yorkshire moors, and celebrating the enduring love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. It is accounted as one of the finest examples of the Gothic novel, and has inspired countless adaptations and transpositions.

About this title

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.
