Published in 1847, WUtheRING HIGHTS was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author mily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHRING HIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by mily\'s sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the GRat novels of nglish literature.
ven so, WUtheRING HIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and GRat loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

the novel is told in the form of an extended FLASHback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the arnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old arnshaw adopted a \"Gipsy\" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

WUtheRING HIGHTS is a bit difficult to \"get into;\" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.
