‘Be with me always take any form drive me mad! onlydonot leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! Icannotlive without my life!

It begins in a snowstorm, when Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter at Wuthering Heights. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before: the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, her betrayal of him and the bitter vengeance he now wreaks on the innocent heirs of the past.This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction and notes by Pauline Nestor and a preface by Lucasta Miller.
