Synopsis "Wuthering Heights (Everyman's Library ) "

The title of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors of the story. The narrative centres on the all-encompassing, passionate, but ultimately doomed love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and the people around them. Virginia Woolf said of Emily Brontë that her writing could "make the wind blow and the thunder roar," and so it does in Wuthering Heights. Catherine Earnshaw, Heathcliff, and the windswept moors that are the setting of their mythic love are as immediately stirring to the reader of today as they have been for every generation of readers since the novel was first published in 1847. With an introduction by Katherine Frank.

Emily Brontë led her brief life (1818-1848) discreetly and in accordance with the conventions of her time. Wuthering Heights, her only and splendid narrative work, was born as the product of a common purpose, agreed with her two sisters -Charlotte and Anne-, to write one novel each.
