Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

One of English literature's classic masterpieces-a gripping novel of love, propriety, and tragedy. Nomited as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read. Although Wuthering Heights is now a classic of English literature, it was controversial because of its unusually stark depiction of mental and physical cruelty, and it challenged Victorian ideas about religion, morality, class and woman's place in society.In this epic story of love, envy, betrayal and revenge, Heathcliff and Catherine come together in a romance that destroys them and those around them. Set in the lonely and bleak Yorkshire moors, this classic tale of thwarted passion begins when the new tent of Thrushcross Grange, a Mr Lockwood, is forced to seek shelter for a night at Wuthering Heights. As the night passes, Lockwood learns of the tumultuous past of Wuthering Heights and of those connected with it.
