Description
Emily Bronte's only novel, a work of tremendous and far-reaching
influence, the Penguin Classics edition of Wuthering Heights is the
definitive edition 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; of the intense relationship between the gypsy
foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw; and how 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.
