Summary

The only novel published by Emily Brontë, “Wuthering Heights” is the story of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a young man adopted into Catherine’s family when he was just a boy. After Catherine’s father dies, her brother Hindley bullies and torments Heathcliff incessantly. Due to this and wrongly thinking that his love for Catherine is unrequited, Heathcliff leaves Wuthering Heights, returning a year later a wealthy man with revenge on this mind. A veritable classic of English literature, “Wuthering Heights” constitutes a must-read for all fans of the novel form and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Emily Jane Brontë (1818 – 1848) was an English poet and novelist most famous her masterpiece, “Wuthering Heights”. She belonged to the world-famous Brontë literary family, and was one of the four surviving siblings along with her sisters Charlotte and Anne. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this classic volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a biography of Emily Brontë by G. K. Chesterton, and an essay by Virginia Woolf on the Brontë family home, Haworth.
