Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature. This edition includes an afterword by Dr Sally Minogue. *Silver foil blocking combined with spot-gloss UV on a matte laminated dust jacket *Textured hardback cover complete with matching foil blocking (on front, spine and back) *Full colored hand-designed patterned endpapers *Digitally sprayed edged on all 3 sides in full color *Coordinating head and tail bands *Matching ribbon marker *Bespoke design chapter headers
