This revision of a widely adopted critical edition presents the 1847 text of Emily Brontë's British Victorian novel along with critical essays that read Wuthering Heights from four contemporary perspectives: psychoanalytic, Marxist, feminist, and cultural studies. The text and essays are complemented by contextual documents and illustrations (new), introductions with bibliographies, and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms.
'Excellently produced, with valuable comment. There is a fascinating selection of essays, and there are excellent bibliographies.' - Dr Edward Chitham, The Open University
