EMILY BRONTE - GEBRAUCHT WUTHERING HEIGHTS (PEN...

Coming soon to the big screen is Emerald Fennell’s feature film “ Wuthering Heights  ” which
captures the spirit of this epic love story and stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as
Catherine and Heathcliff.   Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and
far-reaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text 
edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor.  Lockwood  the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange
situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors  is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights
the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took
place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling
Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine  forced to choose between passionate  tortured
Heathcliff and gentle  well-bred Edgar Linton  surrendered to the expectations of her class. As
Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation 
their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past.   In this edition  a new
preface by Lucasta Miller  author of The Brontë Myth   looks at the ways in which the novel has
been interpreted  from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction
which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel  as well as Emily Brontë's influences
and background.
