Wuthering heights by emily brontë

Emily Brontë stunned the literary world in 1847 with her intense and psychologically charged mix of romance and gothic tragedy. Described at the time as powerful, mad, monstrous, and genius, Wuthering Heights has lost none of its force or vibrancy today.

The novel tells the story of the Earnshaw and Linton families and their tangled fates, centered around Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a mysterious outsider adopted into the Earnshaw household. Their turbulent relationship drives the narrative, blending passion with cruelty and obsession.

Beneath the drama, Wuthering Heights offers reflections on class, power, and the lingering effects of domestic abuse, adding layers of complexity to its haunting tale. This edition includes a section on Emily Brontë’s life, featuring her sister Charlotte’s reflections on Emily’s character and work, written shortly after her death in 1850.

“If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it."
