  • Enjoyable book. I like the strong characters and the web of deceit and drama is craftly written. My only real annoyance was trying to follow what Joseph's character was saying!

  • I hate to admit that some of the language got in my way while reading this. Anytime Joseph appeared I was utterly lost...but when in the midst of hearing Mrs. Dean tell the story of Heathcliff and Catherine, it was quite easy to get swept up.

First published in 1847, Wuthering Heights is set on the bleak Yorkshire moors, where the drama of Catherine and Heathcliff, Heathcliff's cruel revenge against Edgar and Isabella Linton, and the promise of redemption through the next generation, is enacted.

This edition uses the authoritative Clarendon text, and in a new introduction Patsy Stoneman considers the bewildering variety of critical interpretations to which the novel has been subject, as well as offering some provocative new insights for the modern reader.
