Wuthering Heights - Wordsworth Collector's Editions (Hardback)
Emily Bronte (author)Published: 15/09/2019
Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries.
The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

“Wuthering Heights”
Bronte brilliantly masters the anti-hero, the dark, addictive side of love and social divides.
The reader should be objective about the unreliable narrators.
On a shallow note, this book has the most beautiful cover!
