Wuthering Heights

The great Gothic love story, Wuthering Heights follows two families as their lives crash together over generations.

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. (from the publisher)

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. (from the publisher)

Wuthering Heights is a tale of tragedy, examining human nature at its highest and lowest. It examines how revenge and pride can infect even the deepest of relationships. This work is a great one for students to examine in the Gothic movement. It is one of three Gothic novels that Literature 201 students can select to read.
