There are few more convincing, less sentimental accounts of
passionate love than V/uthering Heights. This is the story of the
savage, tormented foundling Heatheliff, who falls wildly in love
with Catherine Earnshaw, the daughter of his benefactor, and of the
violence and misery that result from their thwarted longing for
each other. A book of great power and strength, it is filled with
the raw beauty of the moors and an uncanny un- derstanding of the
terrible truths about men and women. It is an understanding made
even more extraordinary by the fact that it came from the heart of
a woman who lived most of her brief life in the remote wildness of
the moors. Emily Bronte died a year after this great novel was
published.
