Published a year before her death at the age of thirty, Emily Brontë's only novel is set in the wild, bleak Yorkshire Moors. Depicting the relationship of Cathy and Heathcliff, Wuthering Heightscreates a world of its own, conceived with an instinct for poetry and for the dark depths of human psychology. Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Pauline Nestor New Preface by Lucasta Miller
