Synopsis

“I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always–take any form–drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!”

A haunting tale of gothic romance and bitter vengeance entwines two families in a life and death drama spanning three generations. The windswept landscape of the Yorkshire moors is a fitting backdrop to the equally stormy inhabitants of the bleak farmhouse, Wuthering Heights, and the noble mansion called Thrushcross Grange. When circumstances bring the Linton and Earnshaw families together with the orphan Heathcliff, a complex saga of all-consuming passion, self-destructive revenge, and gripping drama ensues.

Annotated Keynote Classics™ offer a better way to read classic literature, whether for enjoyment or for a class. They include an Introductory Key to give you helpful information that will enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the novel. Traditional literature introductions include in-depth analysis describing plot, themes, and literary devices, and inevitably give away the story before you’ve had a chance to enjoy it relying your own perception and understanding. Keynote Classics™ Introductory Keys are different.

• No-spoiler study guides don’t give away plot, themes, or symbolism, and they don’t do literary analysis for you. They simply point out general ideas and things to pay attention to that help you find your own interpretations.
• Includes brief historical context about the author and the time and place the novel was written to help you gain important perspective before reading it.
• Footnotes help clarify outdated references and vocabulary.
• Provides 10 suggested topics for discussion and/or essays.
• Teachers recommend that you read actively and engage with the text to help you draw on your own knowledge and experience to get at the meat of a novel. Keynote Classics paperbacks provide extra wide margins for jotting down your thoughts, connections, and interpretations while you read.

Emily Brontė was born in 1818 and grew up in a small mill town on the edge of the Yorkshire moors. After the death of their mother in 1821, Emily and her siblings were raised by their father, a country parson, and their maternal aunt. They were classically educated and enjoyed creating intricate fantasy worlds and writing poems and stories about them throughout their childhood. Her sisters Anne and Charlotte Brontė also grew up to be accomplished authors. Emily is also known for her brilliant poetry, and her only novel was Wuthering Heights, first published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell in 1847. She died the following year of tuberculosis, not knowing her work was destined to become one of the most popular and highly respected novels of all time.
