Wuthering Heights - Wordsworth Empress Collection

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine´s father. After Mr Earnshaw´s death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine´s brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature. This edition includes an afterword by Dr Sally Minogue. *Silver foil blocking combined with spot-gloss UV on a matte laminated dust jacket *Textured hardback cover complete with matching foil blocking (on front, spine and back) *Full colored hand-designed patterned endpapers *Digitally sprayed edged on all 3 sides in full color *Coordinating head and tail bands *Matching ribbon marker *Bespoke design chapter headers
