Wuthering Heights

Smith & Taylor Classics proudly presents this keepsake edition of Wuthering Heights, a novel that has captivated readers for generations. When Lockwood seeks relief from a lashing storm in the surly hospitality of Heathcliff, master of Wuthering Heights, a grand house on Yorkshire moors, he can`t imagine the tale that he will soon hear. It is a tale of passion and revenge involving Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, his childhood best friend and the love of his life who deals him a stunning betrayal. Reader and Lockwood both are held spellbound by the story of Heathcliff`s quest for vengeance and his bitter acrimony which has devastating consequences for all. For generations, Emily Brontë`s novel of suspense and operatic intensity has enraptured and moved readers to fall in love with Heathcliff`s dark moods and brooding intensity. Salient to this day, this novel is a surprisingly modern exploration of race, gender, class, and the ways that love is frustrated and thwarted by bigotry and prejudice. Featuring a conversational afterword from writers Noreen Masud and Derrick Austin.
