Wuthering Heights, first published in 1847, the year before the author's death at the age of thirty, endures today as perhaps the most powerful and intensely original novel in the English language. "Only Emily Brontë," V. S. Pritchett said about the author and her contemporaries, "exposes her imagination to the dark spirit." And Virginia Woolf wrote, "It is as if she could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognisable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality. Hers, then, is the rarest of all powers. She could free life from its dependence on facts, with a few touches indicate the spirit of a face so that it needs no body; by speaking of the moor make the wind blow and the thunder roar." ----This Modern Library edition contains a biographical note and preface by the author's sister Charlotte Brontë, and an Introduction by Diane Johnson.

Norton Critical Edition

Published in 1847, Wuthering Heights is a story of passion, revenge, and the destructive power of love set in the Yorkshire moors of England. The narrative is framed by the character of Mr. Lockwood, a tenant who rents Thrushcross Grange, where he meets the brooding Heathcliff, the central character of the story.

Heathcliff is a dark-skinned orphan taken in by the Earnshaw family, living at Wuthering Heights. He forms a deep bond with Catherine Earnshaw, but their love is disrupted by social class divisions and Catherine's decision to marry Edgar Linton, a more socially acceptable match. Heathcliff, feeling betrayed and seeking revenge, embarks on a path of cruelty and manipulation.

The story spans generations, following the intertwined fates of the Earnshaw and Linton families. Heathcliff's obsession with Catherine's memory drives much of the plot, leading to tragic consequences for all involved. Themes of love, vengeance, and the destructive nature of obsession permeate the novel, culminating in a haunting and darkly romantic tale of passion and its consequences.
