'Wuthering Heightsis commonly thought of as"romantic", but try rereading it without being astonished by the extremes of physical and psychological violence'Jeanette Winterson<br><br>Emily Brontë's novel of impossible desires, violence and transgression is a masterpiece of intense, unsettling power. 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.<br><br>Edited with an Introduction and notes by PAULINE NESTOR Preface by LUCASTA MILLER

5USEmily Brontë (1818-48). Best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, and a collection of surviving poems, she remains one of the most intensely original and passionate voices in English literature.
