Author(s): Emily Bronte

Classics

Wuthering Heights, first published in 1847, the year before the author's death at the age of thirty, endures today as perhaps the most powerful and intensely original novel in the English language.

"Only Emily Bronte," V. S. Pritchett said about the author and her contemporaries, "exposes her imagination to the dark spirit."
And Virginia Woolf wrote, "It is as if she could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognisable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality. Hers, then, is the rarest of all powers. She could free life from its dependence on facts, with a few touches indicate the spirit of a face so that it needs no body; by speaking of the moor make the wind blow and the thunder roar."

This edition include colour sections, an introduction, a Rethink, a Bronte Information piece, and a discussion on The Landscape of the Book, as well as the entire novel. It comes with a skivertex (like moleskine) jacket, coloured embossed lettering on the cover and spine, and a black elastic place-marker strap.
