One of English literature's classic masterpieces--a gripping novel of love, propriety, and tragedy. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and far-reaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text, edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor. Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrendered to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past. In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of The Brontë Myth, looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily Brontë's influences and background.
"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte unfolds through the diary entries of Mr. Lockwood, who chronicles his experiences and the recounted memories of others. Seeking solitude, Lockwood rents Thrushcross Grange, an isolated house in the Yorkshire Moors of Northern England. One day, he decides to visit Wuthering Heights, the nearby residence of his new landlord, Heathcliff. At Wuthering Heights, Lockwood encounters a cast of peculiar and unpleasant characters: Cathy, Heathcliff's beautiful but impolite daughter-in-law; Hareton Earnshaw, an uncivilized yet proud young man; Joseph, a surly old servant; and Heathcliff, the misanthropic owner of both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. Baffled by the evident hostility among Wuthering Heights' occupants, Lockwood returns for a second visit but is compelled to spend the night due to a snowstorm. In the dead of night, Lockwood is roused by a ghostly child identifying herself as Catherine Linton, pleading to be allowed in through the window. Terrified, Lockwood awakens Heathcliff, who opens the window and implores the ghost to return. Eager to escape the haunted atmosphere and its eerie inhabitants, Lockwood promptly departs for Thrushcross Grange...
