Wuthering Heights (Oneworld Classics) - Softcover
Psychological study, ghost story, gothic thriller, historical romance, religious allegory, a fable about fathomless feelings—Wuthering Heights has been subjected to countless interpretations and yet always defies categorization. The tale of Heathcliff's and Cathy's ungovernable love and suffering—and the havoc that their passion wreaks on the families of the Earnshaws and the Lintons—shocked the book's first readers, with even Emily's sister Charlotte claiming, "whether it is right or advisable to create beings like Heathcliff, I do not know. I scarcely think it is." Replete with unforgettable characters and situations that have seared themselves into the literary consciousness, Emily Brontė's intense masterpiece is one of the most haunting love stories in the canon 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.
