Wuthering Heights

"My great thought in living is Heathcliff. If all else perished, and HE remained, I should still continue to be... Nelly, I AM Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure... but as my own being."

Wuthering Heights is the only novel of Emily Brontë, who died a year after its publication at the age of thirty. A brooding Yorkshire tale of love that is stronger than death, it is also a fierce vision of metaphysical passion, in which heaven and hell, nature and society, and dynamic and passive forces are powerfully juxtaposed. Unique, mystical, with a timeless appeal, it has become a classic of English literature. (back cover)
