Over a hundred and fifty years after its initial publication, Emily
Bronte's turbulent portrayal of the Earnshaws and the Lintons, two
northern English households nearly destroyed by violent passions in
the last quarter of the eighteenth century, continues to provoke
and fascinate readers. Heathcliff remains one of the best-known
characters in the English novel, and Catherine Earnshaw's
impossible choice between two rivals retains its appeal for
contemporary readers. At the same time, the novel's highly
ambivalent representations of domesticity, its famous reticence
about its characters and their actions, its formal features as a
story within a story, and the mystery of Heathcliff's origins and
identity provide material for classroom discussion at every level
of study. The introduction and appendices to this Broadview
edition, which place Bronte's life and novel in the context of the
developing "Bronte myth," explore the impact of industrialization
on the people of Yorkshire, consider the novel's representation of
gender, and survey the ways contemporary scholarship has sought to
account for Heathcliff, open up multiple contexts within which
Wuthering Heights can be read, understood, and enjoyed.
