Description:
LARGE PRINT EDITION. Originally published in 1847, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte tells the story of a wild, and possessive love between Catherine Earnshaw and a man called Heathcliff. Abandoned as a child, Heathcliff was taken in by Catherine's father, who became a stand-in for the parents Heathcliff never had. Dark, twisted and riddled with conflict, the love between Catherine and Heathcliff sparks nothing but drama for the family at Wuthering Heights.
Brief description:
Emily Brontë (1818-1848) was an English novelist and poet known famously for her only novel, Wuthering Heights. The work was originally published in a three-volume set alongside the work of her sister Anne. Due to the politics of the time, she and her sister were given the names Ellis and Acton Bell as pseudonyms. It wasn't until 1850 that their real names were printed on their respective works. The initial reception of Wuthering Heights by the public was not favorable. Many readers were confused by the novel structure--they had not previously encountered a frame narrative (story-within-a-story) as unique as that of Wuthering Heights. Emily Brontë died from tuberculosis at age thirty, only a year after the publication of her landmark book. Alas, she didn't live long enough to revel in its legacy; the book later became an iconic work of English literature.
