Wuthering Heights

‘If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be .. e’ The haunting intensity of Catherine Earnshaw’s attachment to Heathcliff is the focus of a novel in which relations between men and women are described with an emotional and imaginative power unparalleled in English fiction.

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.
