Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and far-reaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text, edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor. Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrenders to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past. In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of The Brontë Myth , looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily Brontë's influences and background.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780141439556","publication_date":"20021231","publisher":"Penguin Publishing Group","slug":"wuthering-heights","subtitle":"","title":"Wuthering Heights"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"FIC027040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Gothic Romance","score":0.7629,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027170","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Victorian Romance","score":0.6961,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027200","confidence_band":"low","label":"20th-Century Historical Romance","score":0.6904,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"FIC027040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Gothic Romance","score":0.7629,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027170","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Victorian Romance","score":0.6961,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027200","confidence_band":"low","label":"20th-Century Historical Romance","score":0.6904,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"FIC004000","confidence_band":"high","label":"The Classics","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC019000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Literary Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027040","confidence_band":"high","label":"Gothic Romance","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Gothic Romance","score":0.7629,"slug":"gothic-romance"},{"label":"Victorian Romance","score":0.6961,"slug":"victorian-romance"},{"label":"20th-Century Historical Romance","score":0.6904,"slug":"20th-century-historical-romance"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in classic Gothic and Victorian romance novels","Book club members exploring influential literature"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Emily Bronte","Emily Brontë"],"book_id":"9780061962257","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780061962257.jpg?v=20260414T102527Z%3A2026-04-14T10%3A25%3A27Z","score":16.8613,"title":"Wuthering Heights","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780061962257"},{"authors":["Oliver Goldsmith","Steven Green","Audioliterature","& 0 more"],"book_id":"9781625581136","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781625581136.jpg?v=20260414T102527Z%3A2026-04-14T10%3A25%3A27Z","score":13.4085,"title":"The Vicar of Wakefield","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781625581136"},{"authors":["Renée Rosen"],"book_id":"9780451466716","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780451466716.jpg?v=20260414T102527Z%3A2026-04-14T10%3A25%3A27Z","score":13.3745,"title":"What the Lady Wants","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780451466716"},{"authors":["Charlotte Bronte","Charlotte Brontë"],"book_id":"9781667209685","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781667209685.jpg?v=20260414T102527Z%3A2026-04-14T10%3A25%3A27Z","score":12.9345,"title":"Jane Eyre","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781667209685"},{"authors":["Kay Chronister","Shannon McManus","Brilliance Audio","& 0 more"],"book_id":"9781640097322","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781640097322.jpg?v=20260414T102527Z%3A2026-04-14T10%3A25%3A27Z","score":10.356,"title":"The Bog Wife","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781640097322"},{"authors":["Kyrie McCauley"],"book_id":"9780063242982","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063242982.jpg?v=20260414T102527Z%3A2026-04-14T10%3A25%3A27Z","score":10.3291,"title":"All the Dead Lie Down","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063242982"},{"authors":["Maya Rodale"],"book_id":"9780062838841","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062838841.jpg?v=20260414T102527Z%3A2026-04-14T10%3A25%3A27Z","score":10.3126,"title":"An Heiress to Remember","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062838841"},{"authors":["John Polidori","Sheridan Le Fanu","Nick Groom","V.
