The central theme of this book is the intense love that exists between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff; it is told with such emotional resonance that even a simple story about the Yorkshire moors is given the profundity and simplicity of an old tragedy.
The novel's initial edition from 1847 served as the basis for this best-selling Norton Critical Edition. In order to create the Fourth Edition, the editor combined the text from 1847 with other contemporary versions and fixed a variety of variations, including mistakes. Completely fresh annotations providing explanations accompany the text.
Twelve letters from Emily Bronte about the publication of the 1847 edition of Wuthering Heights and the development of the 1850 edition, as well as excerpts from her prose and poetry, four reviews of the book, and Edward Chitham's perceptive and educational timeline detailing the novel's creative process are all new to the fourth edition.
Included are five significant critical readings of Wuthering Heights, three of which are brand-new to the Fourth Edition. Stuart Daley analyzes the significance of the novel's chronology. J. Hillis Miller investigates the genre and critical reputation issues with Wuthering Heights. Martha Nussbaum explores the novel's romanticism, while Sandra M. Gilbert evaluates the work's portrayal of Victorian Christianity. Lastly, Lin Haire-Sargeant examines Heathcliff's portrayal in Wuthering Heights movie adaptations.
