Description: Wuthering Heights, first published in 1847, the year before the ì author's death at the age of thirty, endures today as perhaps the ì most powerful and intensely original novel in the English ì language. The epic story of Catherine and Heathcliff plays out ì against the dramatic backdrop of the wild English moors, and ì presents an astonishing metaphysical vision of fate and ì obsession, passion and revenge. "Only Emily Brontë," V. S. ì Pritchett said, "exposes her imagination to the dark spirit." And ì Virginia Woolf wrote, "Hers...is the rarest of all powers. She ì could free life from its dependence on facts...by speaking of the ì moor make the wind blow and the thunder roar." This edition also ì includes Charlotte Brontë's original Introduction.
