One of the most famous love stories in the English language, the passionate tale of Catherine and Heathcliff is here presented in a new edition that examines the qualities that make it such a powerful and compelling novel. Introduction by Helen Small considers the novel's oddness and power, its amorality and Romantic influences, its structure and narration, and the sadistic violence embodied in the character of Heathcliff. Retains the authoritative Clarendon textand notes, and new notes identify literary allusions hitherto unnoticed. Appendix of selected poems by Emily Brontë of relevance to the novel. Appendix containing Charlotte Brontë's 'Biographical Notice of Ellis & Acton Bell' and 'Preface to the New Edition'. Up-to-date bibliography and chronology.
