Wuthering Heights Paperback – December 4, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's first and only published novel, written between October 1845 and June 1846, and published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell; Brontë died the following year, aged 30. The decision to publish came after the success of her sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre.
After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850.
Wuthering Heights is the name of the farmhouse where the story unfolds. The book's core theme is the destructive effect of jealousy and vengefulness both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023Loved this book! Can be difficult to understand because of the language. I recommend looking up the family tree to understand the characters and their relation and using cliff notes as needed if you are struggling with comprehension at first. But such a good book!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021I liked that this book has larger pages so that condenses the size of it. It felt a lot easier to read a 200 page book rather than the normal 400 page format. It’s a captivating, frustrating, tragedy. The most interesting characters I’ve read about in a long time
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022Not a bunch of typos. Book is fine.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2021Small margins and a large book. Basically all you get is the text but if that’s what you’re looking for then no problem. No intro or afterward.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2015I heard once that you know everything about a person if you just know their answer to this question: “Wuthering Heights” or “Jane Eyre”? Personally, I like them both. A lot, as I discovered when I finally put down “Wuthering Heights” after reading far later into the night than is good for me. Maybe I had a few issues with the frame story, and maybe I wasn’t quite into it when it first started, but I eventually found this book harrowing, creepy, and even amusing at times – who could help but laugh at ridiculous Heathcliff and histrionic Cathy?
However, if I were Mr. Lockwood, I’m sure I wouldn’t find anything to laugh at. Lockwood is a tenant of Mr. Heathcliff, the master of Wuthering Heights and technical owner of the smaller house next door, Thrushcross Grange. Heathcliff is a formidable man that doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything – except for the ghost that haunts Lockwood’s dreams the first night he stays at the house. Upon questioning the housekeeper, Ellen Dean, Lockwood becomes engrossed by the family saga that reinvented the notion of family sagas: the fierce entanglement of the Earnshaws and the Lintons, with Heathcliff and his beloved Cathy at the center of it all.
I won’t mention much else because saying anything at all about this book is as good as saying too much (and also because I had the plot spoiled for me prior to reading and don’t wish it on anyone else), but I will put in one thought of my own: “Wuthering Heights” is not supposed to be romantic. It’s almost a “Romeo and Juliet” scenario; people get so wrapped up in the strength of the leads’ relationship that they don’t realize that it’s meant as ridicule, not endorsement. Romeo and Juliet were nutty teenagers with raging hormones, and Heathcliff and Cathy are narcissists who use each other to feed their egos. (But only up to a certain point . . .) There are likeable characters, sure, but they’re nowhere near as memorable or fascinating as the twisted lovers at the heart of the story. Which isn’t a bad thing – it gives you someone to root for while letting you focus on what a romance SHOULDN’T consist of.
My only real problem was the frame story – or, rather, the presence of a frame story at all. Lockwood really isn’t good for anything except plying Ellen Dean with constant questions, and he gets so little page time and is so uninvolved in the doings of the other characters that I wonder why Emily Bronte made him the narrator at all. If you ask me, he should have been just a minor character tucked away in some other part of the story, if that. But that doesn’t take away the fact that this book is that rare combination: both good and a classic. It’s not exactly a feel-good book, yes, and I still prefer “Jane Eyre” ever so slightly, but I have a lot of respect for a book that can both keep you up at night and make you think. And “Wuthering Heights” definitely is that book.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021Great book for classroom or personal use mine came with a damaged corner but alas I’m sure it was just ups
- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2019The book's core theme is the destructive effect of jealousy and vengefulness both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities. I wrote about this aspect of our life on "Explore WIthin: A Journey to Inner Peace" to take readers to a higher level of transformation.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2016I never read it, but had to get it for both of my kids for a College Eng class. My daughter loved it. She said it was like Peyton Place and my son was the first one in his class to complete it. I'd say it was a pretty good read!
