One of English literature's classic masterpieces—a gripping novel of love, propriety, and tragedy. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and far-reaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version 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. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. 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. In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of The Brontë Myth, looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily Brontë's influences and background.

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.
