Book Description

Publication Date: 28 May 2009

One of the greatest love stories ever told, beautifully repackaged for a modern teen audience

Love the Twilight books? Then you'll adore Wuthering Heights, one of the greatest love stories ever told.

Cathy and Heathcliff, childhood friends, are cruelly separated by class, fate and the actions of others. But uniting them is something even stronger: an all-consuming passion that sweeps away everything that comes between them.
Even death…

"My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks," said Cathy. "I am Heathcliff."

Review


"Ideal for the college survey course: judicious introduction plus just the right admixture of explanatory notes (vital for American students' comprehension of dialect words), up-to-date bibliography, and several other brief, indispensable supports to well-informed reading." --Katherine Linehan, Oberlin College


--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Book Description

'As a first novel, there is very little that can compare to it. Even Shakespeare took over a decade to reach the clifftop extremities of King Lear'

Sarah Waters

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! 21 Aug 2006
By Wanderer75
Format:Audio CD
Samuel West (the narrator) and Prunella Scales (Nelly + impersonates all the other characters, male and female) read beautifully. Ms Scales shows she can travel quite a large spectrum as an actress, from cool-headed Nelly to passionate, impulsive Catherine, and bitter, gruffy and cynical Heathcliff. Her rendering of grumpy Joseph's mouthing of Yorkshire dialect is also quite a success.

Listened to this audio-book while in bed with a bad cold and a hefty headache: had a wonderful time!

Only drawback: book has been abridged to fit into 5 hours 1/2 of reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! 29 Nov 2001
By kerry_k46@hotmail.com
Format:Paperback
Right, where do i begin??? how did i ever live without reading this book?? i was told by some idiot that it was boring which put me off for a while, but i read it recently and was totally blown away!! It is honestly the most intense, passionate, maddening book i've ever read. It starts out strong and keeps on going, i actually had to force myself not to read it all in one night and to save some for the next day! Emily Bronte uses such powerful imagery in her prose that it just stuns you. The setting of the story in the Yorkshire moors was absolutely fitting, i doubt that if it had been set anywhere else it couldn't have possibly been half as powerful. The moors add to the air of mystery, gloom, beauty, passion,love, and tragedy. Heathcliff and Cathy are definately the most interesting and intense pair of lovers i have ever read of. Heathcliff especially provokes me, mostly because i cannot decide whether i love or hate him, and that is but one part of the genius of this book. Heathcliff is the hero/anti-hero of the book and just so utterly fascinating a character. The best ingredient of this masterpiece is the fact that the story takes place in such a secluded region, with equally interesting characters, away from the social niceties and civilities that are common in other books of this time. Therefore, the passion and tragedy of the love and hatred in this story is more strongly felt. I could honestly go on forever but i'll spare all you readers out there. All i will say is that you definately must read this book, i know that this is horribly cliche but it truly is one of the best books i have ever read in my life! You will not be sorry.

3.0 out of 5 stars Norton's 'Wuthering Heights' 7 Jun 2009
By Mr. B. Hammond
Format:Paperback
As you would expect from any Norton critical edition of a text, this is far more detailed than other editions. The notes at the bottom of the pages are decent - the handy translations of Joseph's dialect are helpful. (It must be said, however, these notes are not as extensive as the Penguin Classics edition.) It contains a selection of Emily Brontë's poetry, a detailed account of the editorial process after the novel's initial publication, and a wide selection of reviews from when the text first appeared.

For a Norton Critical Edition I did feel it was slightly light with regard to more recent criticism. It contains just five recent critical essays - one of which is on the problems associated with depicting Heathcliff in film versions of the text. Where, for example, is Dorothy Van Ghent's important 'On Wuthering Heights'?

This is probably the best edition any reader of this text could buy. It is not, however, as exhaustive as one might like.

It's Bronte - what more needs to be said? Not what you'd call light reading, but once you get to grips with the language it's utterly enthralling.
