Wuthering Heights

Two houses on the Yorkshire moors, three generations, and a love that neither party would call by that name - Emily Bronte's only novel was published under a man's name and dismissed as brutal. It is narrated at two removes, by a stranger and a servant, so that the reader must decide how much of what is reported can be believed. Nothing in English fiction is quite like it. Fifty-two plates by painters including David Cox and John Linnell follow the weather and the moorland light that press on every page of the story.
