Synopsis
"Oneworld Classics" will include the greatest masterpieces of all time, from every literature and genre and will also redefine and enrich the classics canon by promoting unjustly neglected works of enduring significance. Psychological study, ghost story, gothic thriller, historical romance, religious allegory, a fable about fathomless feelings - "Wuthering Heights" has been subjected to countless interpretations and yet always defies categorization. The tale of Heathcliff's and Cathy's ungovernable love and suffering, and the havoc that their passion wreaks on the families of the Earnshaws and the Lintons, shocked the book's first readers, with even Emily's sister Charlotte claiming "Whether it is right or advisable to create beings like Heathcliff, I do not know. I scarcely think it is." Replete with unforgettable characters and situations that have seared themselves into the literary consciousness, Emily Bronte's intense masterpiece is one of the most haunting love stories in the canon of English literature.

Review
"A masterpiece... I still get shivers down my spine whenever I read the words of Cathy: `I am Heathcliff!'" -- Bonnie Greer
"As I crouched in a corner with a copy of Wuthering Heights, I had the sensation that it was not the torch that was lighting up this intimate space, but the book itself. The book was radiant, the words shone." -- Jeanette Winterson
"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." -- Toby Litt
"She looked out upon a world cleft into gigantic disorder and felt within her the power to unite it in a book... 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." -- Virginia Woolf
"Wuthering Heights is commonly thought of as `romantic', but try rereading it without being astonished by the comfortableness with which Brontė's characters subject one another to extremes of physical and psychological violence." -- Sarah Waters
